Good afternoon forum,

 

First time post for me.

So I have had a beosound 3000 for over 10 years now and it plays 99% of all my CDs (100s) however its frustrating that there is a still a certain number which spin and then stop.

At first I thought this relating to a damaged CD so purchased an exact cost of the CD that didn't play. Interesting that this also didn't play. When I try the CD in a more modern machine it plays without issue.

Has anyone had any experience of this and resolving it? It's a small issue as the player plays the majority without issue, but would be nice to have it play them all.

Best regards

Have you checked to see if there's anything common among the discs that don't play?  Some discs can be SACD (or HDCD) and will have some notation on the case or the CD.  Some SACDs are dual layer where one is PCM, and one is DSD.  Our older B&O units can't decode DSD, only PCM, so if you have discs that are single layer SACD they won't play.  Just a thought...

Hi,  I have experienced the same issue with one of my cd’s on a beosound 9000.
i don’t know what digital difference is causing it to not play on the old beosound, but….  I made a copy of the cd on my PC and the copy works fine!  So also this copy process seems to not support this “special feature” and does not include this in the copy.
so nothing wrong with the beosound it seems.
