I've had my Serene since Christmas and I didn't know it was there either!! It has always annoyed me that that part was so exposed.

Another piece of magic from BeoWorld. Thanks Andy.

As mentioned before, it wasn't a ploy to get Gold Members - it was just a way to get people to walk up to the bar and say "hi".

It really doesn't matter what level of membership you have. I'd rather you stayed Bronze and became a regular on the forum than Gold and disappear! The nicest thing about this forum is the great people that make it a funny and informative place to be - and some of these people took a while to pluck up the courage to make their first post.

Just look at jandyt - we can't stop him now!

Well I must send a BIG thanks to Lee & the BeoWorld crew.

Having waited for so long to register and finally doing so, I arrive home from work today and find a gift of the B&O produced music CD "Open Mind" waiting for me.

Very Cool.

Thanks again for the special welcome.

Bugger, now I feel all guilty, lurking in the shadows for so long, and getting a gift for doing so.

Good - lets be hearing more from you!
Maybe Punch and Judy can recruit you for the Wednesday Club..
jandyt - explain.

For those of you that don't know, on Wedneday evenings you have a license to spout absolute drivel on one thread only. It will have the word Wednesday in the title.
It was started by my 'mate' Puncher and ended up with the two of us out posting each other. Someone commented that I should change my name to Judy then it could be the Puncher and Judy show.
For the next two Wednesdays Puncher is away so don't know how we'll go on. Whoever heard of "The Morecambe Show" or "Cannon"
Don't know if the "Judy Show" will work, but we'll give it a go.
Previous subjects have been
My life story
Limericks
The English language and the Theramin
The value of sock-weighing

See you on Wednesday night (if you can bear it)

Hi Lee,
Am I qualified for a gift too? I joined the forum last month and I already have 10 posts. I can always delete them to get your gift.
BTW I am Victor. It all started some 20 years ago when I visited a department store and I was facinated by the automatic glass door design for one of the BeoCentre. My sister then bought me a Beo6000 a couple of years back and I started to collece bit by bit. I now have a BV3 32 , the cordless phone and the earphone.
I am now waiting eagerly for the BV7 32 to setup my home cinema system. I can't wait to see how the master link works and that I can watch whatever the DVD is playing in the other room.
Anyway great site, lots of info.
Vic

Hi Vic!

It's for first time posters only - but thank you for your input!

PS - Stay with your BV3 and spend your money on some 8000's, 6000's and a Beolab 2 !!!

Welcome Dan

Just a quick point. All Serenes come with the little slidey bit, but as it is usually open when you get it, most of us didn't know it was there!
I have had mine a year now and the outside is perfect but the glass took no time at all to get marked by the dial.
I think the two little rubber stops should have been a bit more prominent.
Going to have a go with jewelers rouge one of these days to get rid of the marks.
Glad you plucked up the courage to make your first post.

Great idea Lee.

I am Dan from London. It's my father’s fault that I have a B&O thing- my first purchase was a Beovision 3-32 a few years ago, and now I own a DVD 1, a VX800 VCR, a Becom 2, 2 beocom 6000's, a serene mobile, a besound 3, a pair of A8's and the keyring!!

I am looking to upgrade the TV to a beovision 7, but my local dealer keeps telling me to hold off until some improvements are available.

I have mixed feelings about my last 2 purchases, the serene is great fun and is definitely a talking point but my biggest issue with it is how quickly the overall look has deteriorated. The dial has left an indent on the glass screen and the metal hinge is very badly scratched now. It has been replaced once already under warranty and the phone was returned with a piece of plastic that slides over the mains / earpiece connector, which is an improvement.

The Besound 3 is just superb – I have taken it out on a number of occasions and it is really very well designed, the handle makes it easy to carry around, it looks and sounds great.

So this is my first post!!

Dan
