An observation I did today was that my BL35000 MK1 would not react to the Menu + 0 + x + GO sequence from my Beo4 with joystick. I don’t know if the press on the Joystick sends a different command than GO on the older Beo4’s. But worth noting if a BL3500 do not react on a Beo4.

In my case I could just find a Beo4 with GO button and complete what I had to do

On a beo4 with joystick you can select 'mode'.

There are 3 modes.

With your 'mode' setting pressing the 'play' button instead of the joystick should do the trick.

Good afternoon,

I am trying to play music from my iPhone using my old Beolab 3500 speakers. I purchased a device from Bluetooth Solutions to interphase with my phone. I connected as instructed but the speaker remains dormant. I have tried Red-list, then go to Lopt and press 2 and 6 as those settings have been recommended in this website. Speaker does not respond. I was wondering if you can help me. I am attaching a picture. Thanks.

Warm Hello to all the B&O tinkerers, great to have found this place, special thanks to @Madskp

I have been using B&O from the 80ies, using at one time The Beomaster/Beogram 5500 series with Restek speakers, with an additional LCS9000 in a linked room, controlled the lights, MX TV, had a B&O wired phone, you name it, happy times.

Fast forwarding like 35+ years all this vanished over time with more modern equipment taking over .. last year I re-surrected the Restek speakers with a Arylic S10 streaming device, moving great sounding speakers into the new age.

I just the other day re-soldered a MLC cable to connect the Beomaster 5500 to the LCS9000 (SW1.0) .. as I have re-wired the speakers to the S10 and rarely used the old equipment anyway .. it kinda works but volume control is questionable so I guess some capacitors in the amplifyer stage died along the way, unnoticed as the main Speakers are active.

The LCS9000 is half good, can be activated by the tight button, no reaction to the IR remotes (Beo4 and Beo1000)

With this and a couple of other threads I have been digesting here‘s my braindump and related questions.

Would the special DIN cable mentioned upthread probably allow the LCS9000 to perform better, taking the amplifyer out?

The lack of IR on the LCS9000 should require the two caps to be replaced, right?

The DIN to Jack cable (as from SoundsHeavenly) would be my best/easiest bet on hookup to i.e. S10 srtreamer (after the IR fix obviously)

As the LCS9000 has been collecting dust for like 15years (last move) I am hesitant to spent much effort / money as it would be mostly for the occasional use on the terasse.

While a 5V hot-fix and a DIN-Jack cable would be a pretty setup for occasional use actually ;)

Maybe we can get this thread energized again, soldering iron and Multi-Meter on stand-by

If it is the cable pinout mentioned in this post  then yes that will bypass the need for the amplifier in the BM5500 and work just as a not volume regulated line out signal for the LCS9000, so the volume control is only on the LCS9000

That might be the case yes. This thread has a great guide on replacing them  Before you do that however you might try if it has been set to option 0  at some point (no IR). With a Beolink 1000 you can press Link + 6 + Store and see if it responds with Option 6 in the display (option 6 is link room with both Audio and Video commands).

Thaks mads?,

and yes, absolutely positive it is a Beolab LCS 9000 (SW 1.0) as per the label close to the power connector

And sure, you are right, the AUX is not regulated .. so in any case I need to fix the IR first I fear :(

Will try the option resetting later today and report back

Thanks. Interesting to know that it was actually labelled as such.

No luck on Link + 6 + Store, its hot around here, so off to the cool cellar we go for some soldering fun

Great explanation on volume issues and yes, that makes absolutely sense and would be nice too

more later
