Hello everybody.

I have a problem with my BEOGRAM 5005. First of all, it's recently serviced and it has a new MMC4.

When you press play, everything runs smoothy.

The problem starts, when you try to lift the arm or press "stop" or when the record ends.

The tone arm goes crazy! It goes to the start, then it drops again by itself. Or it lifts and drops, randomly. Even outside the plateu.

At the service, where we tested it, it played flawlessly!

When i got it back home, the same problems.

Do you think I have a amplifier issue? (BEOMASTER 5000)

Thank you

Hi, Christian.

Thanks for the tip, my friend.👍

It works fine. So, now, I have to go again to the service.

I hope, for the last time.

In the meantime, if you dont use the remote feature, you can just remove the two datalink pins on the beogram socket. They are the pins at 4 h and 8 h and they can b unscrew.

Then may be check for any crazy programming on the beomaster?

On most decks.
A few have standard 7-pin plugs where the pins cannot be unscrewed.

Also check that the Beogram is connected to the correct (Phono) socket.

I have the 7pin cable.

I think it's in the right socket. The bottom one, that bends the cable a little, because the space is tight (B&O could give an inch or two there!!!)

/forum/imported-unmapped/beomaster-5000-speaker-outputs (my sockets are the same).

Unless all these years, I was using the wrong socket.

Or find a female 7pin to 2 rca jacks and use the other sockets.

Thank you guys. I appreciate all the input.🙏
