BeoSound 9000 and Beo4 compatibility

24 replies

just a thought: do all types of PL cables switch the BS9000 mkI to option 1? if not than maybe using other cables would do the trick

Yes. Powerlink detection for A.OPT 1 is done by PIN 4 - available in all Powerlink cables. Btw had Thanos tried to set audio option to 1 manually, and the led didn`t respond.

Thank you all for your help.

I am scared opening and trying to fix IR receiver by myself.

I prefer trying a BL1000 or another Beo4 instead or at least initially...

For fixing or replacing the ir-receiver (they are still available if you're not capable of soldering), you need to take off the glassdoor, topcover and some screws on the bottom. Then you need to lift the aluminum plate to get acces to 2 screws from the ir-pcb.

Tricky part will be sledge, small flatcables,  springs, etc.
