My son very kindly preesed the factory reset default  over the weekend, I was not happy and would have happily pushed him off a nearby coastal cliff!!!

So, it was a 'ball acher' reloading all the tv channels etc  --  I only use french TNT and Free to air sat transmissions being a tight northener originally.

Ok, it took time, but on looking at the tv transmissions I was amazed to see that the reset had resulted in a much better picture and sound.

I have always assumed that the set was on factory default but now I suspect in its past someone has been playing around with the settings in the hidden engineering section menus.

I think I am only the second owner of said tv but am now a very happy 'bunny' bearing in mind the cost to me of said unit.

I am now inspired to get my BC2 rebuilt and recommissioned.

Sorry for my ramblings!

Tony

Great outcome of what looked like an irritating situation 😀

If you have issues with the CD not playing it can be due the clamper not closing entirely. This can be because of the belt driving the clamper being to loose. I had a thread about it here    Also if the black rubber coating on the bottom of the unit is sticky there is some advice to remove it in this thread

Thanks for the IPA useage link, I'll give it a go! I suppose it should work on a BS4 body as well!

And the belt replacements, yes, you gave me some leads late last year when I did them, I have not rebuilt the unit as yet, but hopefully, later today or tomorrow, I have been busy building a model of a Pilot boat based at Hartlepool, it is radio controlled and is for steering competition use here in France!

It will work there too. I had a BS4 for a short while and tried to clean the sticky stuff of that too. One thing I noticed though is that on the front plate you can rub to a level where it will still have a smooth finish, but if you rub to much you get to a surface that is more plastic like. In any case try a spot that will be less visible to start with. and the back with the ribs will be a nightmare to clean.
