The dolby surround is a very nice feature, though not up to the expected high-end standard of 2008. However for a condo dweller like me it&#39;s&nbsp;sounding way&nbsp;better than my 2 year old pioneer dvd all-in-one unit ever did. It connects very simply through datalink and powerlink and is controlled easily by beo4 remote. I plan on using it as a home theater sound processor (I&nbsp;do have&nbsp;4 beolab 4000 speakers)&nbsp;further to giving&nbsp;me full controll of my beomaster 7000... what more can you ask for .....</p><p>However the stb controller is totally useless (I&#39;ve tried .....) and will be ripped out. Or maybe it&#39;s possible to replace it with either an updated version of the original (made by a co named amx in texas usa????) or by an external stb control system....</p><p>Anyways...I find this a usefull unit and I consider it an extention of my full&nbsp;beomaster 7000 system. Oh, and it just looks cool&nbsp;as well....</p><p>Kindest regards,</p><p>Giz.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96931.aspxFri, 14 Mar 2008 13:46:00 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:96931Craig0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96931.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=96931<p>Due to the age of these now, is the STB list not a little outdated?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96891.aspxFri, 14 Mar 2008 11:57:44 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:96891PL2120https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96891.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=96891If you are in Japan then you will obviously want the 110v NTSC model, which is far more common. And the AV7000 is designed to work exclusively with non-B&O equipment, however there is a quite limited subset of devices it can control. There is a list floating around somewhere which is either on the site or can be easily uploaded to it.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96846.aspxFri, 14 Mar 2008 08:45:28 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:96846TheMajor0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/96846.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=96846How are you connecting it to your system?

It looks like the US version has the STB-Controller and wasn&#39;t included in the EU version. I am looking at buying one of these myself. I am not really sure why as I onlt have BL4000s and next is the BS4 or maybe 5.
