Does anyone know how to activate one of the coloured playlists on the Beosound5 from the remote for N.Music? I've added some tracks to both Green and Red, but pressing the coloured button on the remote does nothing. The manual suggests this is possible. Thanks. Rob.

Hi ebnrob, i never use the coloureds list really, but placed some songs in the blue list to test. I pressed the blue button (on the Beo4) and the first song from the list plays. (The BS5 even switched from N.RADIO that was playing to N.MUSIC, and in my case IR commands go through the Masterlinked BC6-26). Does your remote emit IR signals when pressing the coloured buttons? Have you tried other remotes? Hope this gives a clue to resolve, regards, Johan

Hello Rob, my attic BS5/BM5 combo is also connected by ML to a BLC (audio slave) to distribute its sources over NL. My living room BeoSystem 3 is also connected to a BLC (audio master) and I can use the colored buttons without problems. This might exclude an NL/ML throughput issue. Is the Core not passing the commands? Regards, Johan

Hi Rob, it sounds you found a possible cause? This is my current set-up (BL2000 still in the works). BS5/BM5 without speakers directly connected. I do not own a truly NL only device (yet). Let me know if I can help with anything. Regards, Johan
