Do you like the new beotime ? with all sort of options [for such a small opject] upside down display switch for left or right hand people link options with every other B&O item etc. etc.

for picture : see our dutch forum or C/P the link below in browser !!

 

 

Looks good... but what does it do?

more  photos and details, please :)

Are the displays backlit? 

I think I want it.... I will be tempted to pretend it's a flute though....

Will try to post some details

 

 

Backlight will be activated when the alarm clock is activated (set time) or whenever you touch the BeoTime.

 

Alarm sources :

 

Cool, looks like it can control my LC2s... I am sure I'll end up buying it.
I wonder if, like the Beo5, I will have to take it to the dealer when I want to program a new alarm ;-)

Alarm clock that can use internal alarm signal or your B&O system sources.

Sleeptimer

Remote for basic B&O system (audio & video) control

Light control

 

Can it turn the light on/off at a certain time?

I´m guessing no,
The manual only states that an alarm time-out can be set to switch off audio/ video sources after .. time.

The fact that the screens are so small and that it's just standard monochrome LCD makes it look cheap, but I like the innovative design.

Now that I'm used to my ceiling-projected time, it will be hard for me to come back to this conventionnal, small and not very convenient way to display the time...

I like it. Not sure if I would buy one, though. For programming my equipment I don´t need it and I don´t buy stuff just to own it...

do I understand the facts correct?

- Displays are all three backlit
- Beotime can produce an alarm sound by itself or use B&O Equipment (TV, Audiosystem for Timer, Alarm switch on/off)
- basic control of TV/Soundsystem

?

I will have a look at it in person and if it doesn't look and feel cheap I MUST buy it! this is great for the bedside!!! :-)


 

How much will it cost?

can it display the time vertical, too? Would be nice to mount it on a wall  like Beo 4 and 5 if not used :)

Can somebody upload the usermanual?? Please!? :-)


 Does the audiosystem NEED the timer functionality or will the Beotime e.g. send "Radio on" command at 6:00 am?

Would be nice as if the old Beosound 1 has no timer function.
 

I saw an image of this a couple of months ago - i like it !!    I do think it looks like a flute though.. LOL

As a vast majority of people 'take a sleepy swipe' at the alarm clock to turn it off - i hope it doesn't spend more time on the floor than on the bedside cabinet..

Love the fact it can turn on your AV.  Nice touch.  I think this will sell extremely well.

SOLD!!

This is bluddy brilliant. Very exciting product

Just one thing - if it costs more than 600AUS, it's going to be a stretch, i mean, come on, how much does it cost to manufacture one of these. Shouldn't be much more than a Beo4.

It seems we can buy it at the end of this year; christmass gift ? and if the leaflet is correct it won't cost more then 99 GBP because there are only two digets [xx's] above the article as the blinded price ? shall this be true ? I think not but hope so !
