Wow - I hadn't realised that there were other BeoWorlders there! Someone should have told Lee!

There were three shows in Copenhagen, and I think Lee did attend the official press launch. We - Daniel, BMGHM (or what's his name ), ChrDH and I - went to the last one and wednesday evening 20:00.

Yes, it was a very good evening. Nice to see you guys (BMGHB and Daniel)

Yes, a very nice evening indeed. And the catering was good. And plenty of beosounds to play around with when some of the guests left. Nice to meet you all.

best regards

Indeed it was a nice evening filled with new impressions. And i must say it was nice to meet you, Daniel, and the other beoworlders.

And there was no shortage of wine, one could almost think Bang & Olufsen tried to get one drunk...!

It was my first time in the operahouse and what a building. It almost like an artpiece.

Hope to see you all again soon to other similar arrangements.

It was a fantastic night at the opera! Thank yoy B&O and thank you, my fellow beoworlder for the tickets.

There are so much to say about the evening, but I guess Lee already had covered it. But one thing can I reveal, it works with the A9 keyring. I should just test it and it did indeed turn of the BeoSound 5 I was testing, but it (ofcourse) it also turned off the sorrounding BeoSound 5's other people were testing.

Peter :
Probably the same but more wine!

It's not possible. At the end I had to hide my glass before the waiters filled it again.

And yes, I want a BeoSound 5!

darioazul:
Is the BS 5 portable? It plays non-DRM iTunes music. Does that mean I can connect my computer housing all of my non-compressed music and play it through the BS 5?

I am looking forward to all of technical details and connection possibilities. How do I connect it to the BV 7 & its BeoSystem 3?

Dario

It is not portable unfortunately.

You can please all your compressed music, but you have to copy it to the Beomaster5, it won't play it directly from your computer's HD.

You connect it to your TV like the BM1, with ML, DVI, Scart.

Dear All:

Lee, again well done. Is the BS 5 portable? It plays non-DRM iTunes music. Does that mean I can connect my computer housing all of my non-compressed music and play it through the BS 5?

I am looking forward to all of technical details and connection possibilities. How do I connect it to the BV 7 & its BeoSystem 3?

A jolly interesting read

It does look a tad bizarre on its floor stand mind - perhaps it'll grow on me!

Excellent Lee! and thanks!

Now... still not sure what to think.. to me, the screen is still the problem and just seems unnatural for some reason.

I would have much preferred to have had the screen hidden and then displayed once activated and I am sure this would have been possible, there seems to be a lot of empty space on the display of the LCD and by carefully reorganising the shape of the 5 you could have easily achieved this.

Keith Saunders:
Can I bring members attention to the fact that there is now a Beosound 5 forum under the products section and Lee has already posted details about the launch event in Denmark

Right!

I wanted to say "Thanks, Lee" for pics and explanations, but I can't there. I do it here. The HiRe Beosound 5 photo looks great as screensaver in my BV7-40
