It's true. Only the Audio Only version is discontinued. The DVD version lives on.

Apparently the Blu-Ray mechanism will not fit inside the BC2 and it is too expensive to retool.

BC2 DVD / CD/ FM / DAB is about to get a module to upgrade to DAB+ , announced last October by B&O , so I cant see the Video version going out of the product range for some time. I would love to see the BC2 have a Blue Ray DVD player - I would sell mine tomorrow to buy a BR version.

I do have one of those! But setting timers in the audio or video masters is preferable as you can tailor the times for different days. Almost as good as using a Beolink 7000!

No timers in the BV10 - if I had not had the BC2, I would have had to pull out one of my older systems as my avant used to act as the master. Incredible decision.

Or you could use a beotime.

No - not the FLUTE!!!

I hope you are right. I'll check with my sources though.

Hello,

I was told yesterday by my salesman that the production of BC2 has been stopped 5 days ago. Can anybody confirm this?

Could this announce the end of production of the BS9000? I'm hearing is hardly sold nowadays. I will be a pitty.

Only BC2 (Audio) has been stopped.

That makes alot more sense, essentially, just a lower spec socket unit.

I must say I'm not really surprised that BC2 is being discontinued, I think it should have been out of production for a long time: how can B&O charge more than EUR 4,000 for a DVD/radio combo that doesn't even offer HDMI output & Blu-Ray playback??

What surprises me, however, is that there is no BeoCenter 3 on the horizon...

Wow, always liked the look of the BC 2. Would love to have one, but it was basically overkill with the BS9000 setup upstairs. Maybe I can pick up a new one to replace my DVD 1 for the home theatre set up, unless someone here can talk me out of it. Would the BS9000 and BC 2 play well together in the same link system or would I just be buying an expensive DVD player?
