Beosound 3000 reset?

14 replies

Members, today I picked up a preowned beosound 3000 & beolab 2500 speakers. I'd like to know if there's a way to do a wipe/reset of all the settings from the previous owner?

TestMode 31 will clear all radio/cd/timer/sound settings

To enter testmode, within 30 seconds after connecting power to the unit, press SOUND 0 2 5 8 on the keyboard with no more than 2 seconds between each press.

 

Then just press 31, and the display will show DEFAULT TM ERROR, then just press standby, and all should be cleared.

No, took the instructions from the bs3000 service manual .. What error did you get ? If all is well, the display will show DEFAULT TM ERROR, if something went wrong, it will say TM ERROR.

Mine says TM error in nr 31..

Whats i wrong?

mine says the same, anyone can help?

 

There shouldn't be a need to reset it - just delete the station presets, enter your own, and adjust the bass/treble/balance/turn-on volume level.  The user manual is onsite for silver and gold members if you need it.

Or link and . Simon.

Resetting is not the problem, the problem is that we both have a TM ERROR, what I've read is that the eeprom is bad and/or the processor, nothing to reset anymore, its a goner or it will be a costly repair....  🙁😭😠

Just ignore this error, if your 3000 is working, you can store/delete channels/set timers/tune stations and play a CD, then why care about this ?

The processor is NOT faulty, I have seen a lot of these 3000's they almost never give correct feedback for the RESET Testmode.

Don't worry about it :)
