Phil This is excellent advise, thank you so much. I am travelling at the moment but will be back this weekend to try the direct connection and if that works I may invest in a DAC as this will allow me to receive music around the house and with your iphone apps I overcome my big down on N.music which is the music selection where no screen is available

I am reading through this string, and I'm thinking Wow this looks really cool. Before I dust off my old Beoport (which I gave up on years ago), I wonder if I could ask a few questions, I would be mainly interested in using linkplayer as a way of controlling my Mac, playing programs like Plex controlling from my I phone screen to my BV4/Beosystem

Hello I am looking for some help, I currently link my Beosystem 3 and BV 4 into a Mini Mac, from this I mainly run Plex using the B&O provided Apple Remote option on the Beo 5. Like many others I would like to run it as a seamless system. Could someone tell me how I can program the characters C and X into my remote as this will allow me to use the

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply I have the EX87 driver loaded into my Beosystem 3 and using the IR blaster. Like I said the fast forward and reverse works you can even change the speed of wind/rewind, you just can't stop it, once its in that mode. You dont need to press and hold the preset button just press 1 to 4 times depending on the speed

Does anyone have any experience of controlling a DMR-EX77/87 from a Beo 5, through a Beosystem 3. Mine does most things but if you use the fast forward/reverse buttons in DVD mode, they work but then seem to lock everything else out so you use loose the functionality and need to reset. Tantilizingly close to seemless but not quite there yet

My Dealer was able to help me with this, apparently it's on the US list and they can individually load it. It worked fine on my Beosystem 3, Having a complete jukebox on the screen is awesome. and the 'raining photo's' screensaver is pretty good too

How do I get hold of the Configuration tool. Has anyone a copy I could play with?

Has anyone had experience of using the Beosystem 3 in a home automation mode, right now I'm content with turning the lights on and off, but would be interested to here the possibilities. Is there documentation available to help with this? Pete
