The problem is that I can not change the volume, balance, treble or bass on the beosound 9000, it responds with "TV OPERATED" message.

I do not think it is possible to control volume on the digital output, as it delivers the signal unbalanced and "raw" to the external decoder. The is no need for that, really, as everything can be controlled with the external decoder.

I suppose that in option 0 mode, the beosound outputs signal thru digital output by default  (since no speakers are attached to the beosound)? But this is not happening in my case :(

Yamaha is working with other digital sources thru the same input without problems, and this is a competent modern decoder capable of handling several audio formats and sample rates, so it looks like there is something wrong with the 9000. This is probably a well known quirk, as I have seen other people posting about the same problem.

The digital out comes directly from the CD decoderboard. No volumecontrol or mute-switching.

Only a small isolator coil/transformer is placed between the decoder and phono jacket.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get this exact same setup. I have a DIGITAL connection between the BS9000 and a Yamaha preamp.

I get no sound... not only that, the Beo4 doesnt work (i understand that it goes into "MODE 0") This then means I cant even turn the BS9000 on or off. I have to use the plastic red button on the side, which cuts the power off completely, even leaving the CD spinning freely until it naturally stops (a very bizarre method of turning off considering they cut you off from the remote. It also seems to cut off a lot of function from the touchpad behind the door [even more bizarre])

Am I able to run a PL-RCA cable converter from the PL OUT sockets to the Analogue IN on the Yamaha? I know this would double up the variable volume control, but at least that darn thing will work maybe?

Hopefully this is a simple fix. The digital-out, i thought for a second there, was actually something clever and useful.

Hi,

just ask Steve for a dummy Plug and the converter cable at  https://www.soundsheavenly.com/

Or click on one of the three pics with the guy in his blue shirt at the end of this side.

To switch the Beosound properly off there's also a button left to the CD6 button, like the one on the right to move the glas lid 😕

Using this button, the BS 9000 powers down propoerly including correct postioning of the CD and move the clamper to the left / up.
