Hello Stephen, my new one does not have HDMI, but maybe it will come? Gerald

Hello Carsten, I had the exact same issue you describe last year. It took a while for the dealer to find out what the problem was, but in the end it was a failure of the motherboard. Apparently the initial motherboard had these problems and was replaced by a new design just before the XMas production in 2009. You might still have the old motherboard

Hello Mikael, from what I have heard they have had problems with the motherboards of the Beomaster 5. My broke 4 weeks ago and they could not repair it yet, because they don't have the (new) motherboards. I was told that it will be week 51 at the earliest. Gerald

I can just tell you that my BS5/BM Set up - bought in May - had problems for a while and 10 days ago it died (blue screen and then it was dead). I was told that the motherboard was defect and will be replaced. Gerald

Hello, my model is from May and I just got confirmation that the motherboard is defect. They told me that they will replace the motherboard and then I really hope that the issues are solved. But I agree: the dealer is very good, but B&O itself is difficult. Gerald

Dear all, I have had losts of problems with my BS5/BM system (titles disappearing, connection to PC disconnected, etc.) and it was in service 2 times for a total of 7 (!) weeks. The response was always that the system is OK, just that some CDs need to be transfereed with Media Player vs. Boeplayer. And actually, last time the system worked correctly

Hello Roger and all, no, could not sort it out yet. I have tried everything - also with instructions from my dealer and phone support by B&O. I even recovered (=reset) the system and problems were not solved. Even more, there is complete chaos on the BeoSound5 like one cover showing up 3 or 4 times, with only some titles available for each cover

Thanks for those hints, but this does not solve the problem. All the files and folders are in the right place on the Windows Desktop that I have accesed via the BeoSound 5. And there are not ghost files, they are all there with all their bits and bytes. Any more ideas? Gerald

The new files are in the "Music" folder - just like the CDs I transferred a few weeks ago - no differences to be detected.

I did reboot (more than once), which did not change the issue and I also tried it from another computer (with XP). And I cannot see recently copied CDs on the BeoSound 5 - I can only see it on the network drive.
