  • Re: Beoport and Beosound 2

    There's no reserve price. It will sell for whatever people think it's worth. I've just updated the ad to include a 3m Masterlink cable with the Beoport. I forgot to include this in the original wording.

  • Beoport and Beosound 2

    Just letting everyone know about two items I'm selling on eBay: Beoport and a Beosound 2 . Both are priced very low because I need the space! I never got much use from the Beoport but am genuinely sad to see the Beosound 2 go (inevitably replaced by an iPod). Both come with accessories (IR sensor for the Beoport; chargers and cases for the BS2)

  • Re: What camera do you use?

    [quote user="richardd"] A word of warning, though: Just as with B&O, once you buy a Leica, it will most likely become catastrophically addictive. [/quote] Never was a truer word spoken I use a Leica M6 and am slowly accumulating lenses. Frankly, the camera body is ultimately the least expensive item in your Leica kit. In the digital world

  • Re: Beosound 4 MP3 recording rate - more than 128kbps possible?

    Hi Ray, Thanks for the tip. I'm a Mac user and so straddle the worlds of Apple and B&O. Finding a common audio format is the bane of my life! When encoding a CD I use Apple Lossless (compatible with my iPod Touch, and a good "archival" format). I transcode this with Max to MP3 (LAME codec) and copy to SD card for use on my Beosounds

  • Beosound 4 MP3 recording rate - more than 128kbps possible?

    The Beosound 4 manual states that "recordings onto the memory card are encoded in 128kbps MP3 quality". I'd really like to increase this somehow and wonder if it is possible, either through firmware update (if so, how?) or any other means. I'd consider 192kbps as an absolute minimum these days and would prefer 256kbps if not 320 kbps

  • Re: LX2800 and Apple TV

    It is true that Apple TV cannot output 4:3 picture signals. However, by installing the ATV Flash software hack (http://www.atvflash.com/product_info.php?products_id=27) you can play widescreen content on a 4:3 TV. Use the DVD player software and simply open a video file in whatever format (AVI. MOV, MP4 etc). The software adds black bars at the top

  • Re: Apple TV News

    Not quite the same application, but have you seen atvflash? http://www.atvflash.com/product_info.php?products_id=27 It's software patch for AppleTV that allows it to play just about any format, plus a few other nice features. I routinely play AVI files on my AppleTV, and native DVD files (from video_ts folder) on a Beovision MX7000 (4:3 screen)

  • Re: Apple TV News

    If Apple TV can learn other remote controls, does this mean that we can teach it about Beo4 and use it to control AppleTV?

  • Re: MX7000 - mute the picture but keep the sound?

    Success! Thank you so much for your detailed reply. Being an ML novice, I have never understood the Option settings on the Beo4 and have just ignored them. I now have iTunes streaming audio coming through the speakers of my Beovision MX7000 via the AppleTV, and the picture tube is well and truly off! It's easy when you know how! Thanks again. Marcus
