jack001- thank you for the response and links which bring me to believe that the introduction of a Beo 6 remote into my system would not be the wisest decision at this time.

Does anyone know how accurate the information below is? It comes from the Chicago Store on January 11, 2012. Has anyone yet tried the two way communication with the Beo 6 remote and if so, what do you think so far? Two-Way Communication Between BeoSound 5 and Beo6 Remote Control! Imagine being able to control and access your music library from any link

I am interested in installing outdoor speakers on a small enclosed patio that measures 12 by 12 ft and am seriously considering B&O. Does anyone have any knowledge of the performance of B&O speakers as to their performance and cost? Thank you in advance for any information.

Here is the latest information I have on the Beo6 remote as of July 21, 2011: "The pricing for the Beo 6 is $650.00 plus $450 remote programming fee. The two way is not yet possible at this point but will soon be. The date is not yet announced but it will happen within this year. And no, it is not necessary to purchase or install the ML Gateway

It is my understanding through information at the B&O Store in Chicago that the both the Beosound 5 and Beosound 5 Encore do not need a gateway. The Beomaster 5 software has been updated to communicate wirelessly with a Beo 6 remote but not a Beo 5 - Certainly hope that this is the case before purchasing a Beo 6 remote.

I hear that the new Beo 6 remote is now ready for two way communication with the Beosound 5. Does anyone on Beoworld North America have any comments?

Merci, Jeano. Vous avez raison. J'ai fait exactement ce que vous avez suggéré, et pour le moment le système marche très bien.

Stan- you are an absolute miracle worker. This morning did exactly what you recommended and so far, no problems like before. I did have to redo a password via maintenance to download new files and am slowing regaining cover art, but no more white arrow, sand glass or freeze ups when I go from selection to selection! Hope that the system continues to

I have the same problem as Jeano which has become so frustrating that I am sending my unit (beomaster5) back to the Chicago Store.
