I thought I would post a report on Rudy's newest Beogram addition that I just recently installed.His new remote control option is quite a nice design and the installation is a breeze needing nothing more that a screwdriver.His blog post is here which also includes an excellent installation/operation video. Now its not cheap, but this is not going to be a high volume seller so its reasonable he make back his design time which appears to be significant including numerous 3d laser parts. While he uses the old Apple remote that many others do, I can report that I was able to transfer the codes to my Harmony remote through its learn function and simply added them to my preamp device for ease of use. The IR receiver is quite sensitive and it accepts a wide range of angles. In summary, for those not running complete B&O systems, this is a great option especially to reduce wear on your keypad and is highly recommended.

but how about changing record sides? Does it work .............
Good point, though it does have a repeat play function. My attraction was not as much convenience or even laziness, but the fact that my turntable is 12' from my listening seat and I like that after I put on the record, I can eat to sit down and then start it as I'm now in position when it begins. After all isn't that why we have automatic turntables .
