It certainly would be nice to do away with the need to press go after every command. The extra button push is very annoying and non-intuitive compared to the control of most other dvd players.

On a related issue, does anyone know if updating the software on a pre-divx version of Beocenter 2 will enable it to play divx? Is it merely a software upgrade or is there a need to replace hardware to enable the divx playback?

I found out that in US they are still selling the unit without the speaker until inventory is gone. But it the old can be upgraded, involves changing the wings though.

It will have been a Mk2 in all probability. However to get the acoustic feedback you need the latest software - 5.10a and either a Master unit with a serial number of 20405179 or more or a replacement PCB2 for those T2802 master units with earlier serial numbers.

There is only one sort of Mk 2 master unit world worldwide - it is the socket unit that changes. This must also have S/W 5.10a installed.

It seems that the European BC2 MKII version has a little speaker that gives audible feedback when pushing a button. Does the current US version have that too? Also I know in the early model you had to double push buttons to perform functions which I believe in the European MK2 version was reworked. is that sorted for US as well? I believe the dealer were I stopped by today still had the MK1 on display, so it's hard to say.
