Hello all ! I have a used Beogram CD 4500 that I would like to be able to control directly by use of a remote control unit, such as the Beo4, without the use of Datalink and a Beomaster equipped with Datalink. Is that possible at all ? Searches on Google suggests all kinds of answers, but I would like to know from the true experts, the B&O users themselves. Thanks in advance.

Remote control Beogram CD 4500

Hello
The Beogram CD 4500 does not have a built in IR e´receiver, and is therefore dependent on a datalink device to control it.
Instead of a Beomaster you can use a MCL2AV unit with an external IR eye. It can easier be hidden away. The MCL2AV is more limited than a Beomaster, so not bass and treble control, but if you plan on using the digital output on the CD player for sound that would not be an issue. Also if you go for analog sound you can route the sound around the MCL2AV and use it only for control.

I was afraid of that, but thanks for your reply.
