Hi Sn00py,
Beosystem 3 has the capability to control a wide range of third party devices directly via the built in software. The IR codes for certain devices may already be loaded into your Beosystem, otherwise your local B&O dealer should be able to add further devices to the PUC table for a small fee.
Cabling requirements are fairly straightforward:-
1) IR blaster cables are used to give the Beosystem control of each device: http://soundsheavenly.com/televisions/59--ir-blaster-.html
2) Powerlink cables are used to plug in Beolab speakers: http://soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html
3) HDMI cables are used to link your video sources and TV: http://soundsheavenly.com/input/55--hdmi-.html
4) A DVI adapter converts the Beosystem video output for use with an HDMI lead: http://soundsheavenly.com/misc/58--hdmi-dvi-block-.html
Kind regards, Steve.
