Hi everyone!
I have been reading that the beogram cd players (5000, 6000, 7000, not the earlier ones) are "almost unusable" if not connected to the system they belong to (with the remote control and so on). Since I use very few of the features all modern cd-players offer, I would like to know if it could make senso for me to use one of these Beogram CD connected to a Beomaster 8000. So my question is... What is possible to do on these cd-players without remote control? Play, stop, pause, track skip, search... or what? And which information is possible to read on the display (is there any display?)...?
Thanks!
Marco
You can:-
Tray out, tray in, start, skip to next track and stop.
The display reads track number and time of play.
That all as far as I recall.

And turn the thing off too, by a prolonged push of the play button, or by closing the drawer with no CD in it!
No time readout I'm afraid on the 5500/6000/7000 series...
That would be the CD50! I finally found an IR module and a remote for mine!
For the Beomaster 8000 I use a Beogram CDX, not remote-control endowed, but sounding nice as well.

I agree; use the CDX which is a super CD player, despite its antiquity! I was thinking that you could use a CD5500 instead of a Tape player and use the remote that way, but the B&O CD players are set up to think they are record players and the codes for the remote will not work. The 8000 has a built in RIAA so you cannot attach a CD player to that input either.

Argh, that's really very little. No pause and no track skip backwards... I'll monitor in the next days how often I use any other function, but I guess I'd better go for a Cdx oc Cdx2 if I really want something usable...
Thanks for the replies and information!
