Hi,
Now my CD50 is the CD player in my Beolab 5000 system. But the lack of direct access to a track is a pain! I know it's as rare as hens' teeth though!
Thanks!
Jacques
Does your CD-50 have the remote control receiver built in,as it was'nt standard.
Nick
Hi Nick,
It doesn't! I need the whole package.
I used to have the receiver kit,saved for a future project,but the handsets are like gold dust!! Crop up on e.bay sometimes though.
I'll have a search in the vaults.
Thanks Nick. Will the receiver work with a Beolink 1000?
No - uses different codes. You could of course get a Beomaster 5500, attach the CD50 to it and then use the line out to the Beolab 5000 - probably cheaper and easier to find than the CD remote and board and also will work with a Beolink 1000. A few more connections though!

Right then.
Peter! I already have a complete 5500 stack, complete with MCP and Beolink 1000!
But another Beomaster 5500 just for that?
I didn't say it was a very good idea, but it will be a lot easier than finding the bits you need!
Well, if you send me one over for free I might be able to conceal it somewhere...
This is what you need!

Peter's suggestion got me thinking,and I wondered if you could use a MCL AV kit. AKA MCL active extra speaker kit.This has three inputs,cd,tape and aux,and a variable line level output that you could connect to a spare input of the Beolab 5000.
This would not only give you expanded inputs for say i.pod etc,but would also provide remote control of the cd 50 and volume,using a Beolink 1000/Beo4.
Just a thought,but I'll keep looking for the cd remote adaptor kit anyway.
Err, yes Leslie! Is it for sale?

You could possibly use the tape connection as an output if using the MCL2AV as I believe that gives a line output. I might have an experiment with the one I have!
A kind member here is giving me an ir module to experiment on. I'll still have to figure out the codes/find a suitable handset.

Found it?
Cheers!
Still looking,but also tinkering with alternative solutions too! I have a cd50,and it would be useful to operate it with BL1000 etc if possible.
Indeed! If anyone could come up with that...
Hi!
Still looking for the handset...
chartz: Hi! Still looking for the handset...
Found one in Denmark!
It is located in Struer. Thanks M.
