The BeoCenter 2300 is a fully integrated

music system with radio, compact disc

player and speakers all in one unit. It can

be placed anywhere you want music – on

a wall in the specially designed Bracket

2500, or on a table or sideboard.

Whenever you reach out to operate the

BeoCenter 2300, the glass doors slide

open as if by magic, inviting you in to

the music.

All the operating buttons are located in

one place. They are conveniently

grouped according to type of function,

so you can easily find your way around

the keypad while operating the system.
