Hi, according to my experience spinning in opposite direction is not an issue, however i am not sure that the disc must not spin there. More problem is with PAUSE - I would try to clean laser lens. Some experts say "with 30% alkohol and one drop of washing liquid". To get to the lens - try run TM 65.

Just press go on the remote. Don’t try cleaning the laser lens as you can really mess it up. If anything, clean the disk. 

Difficult to be 100% sure without seeing it but that sounds like to the laser is on the way out and requires replacement. If you go down this route try to get a new and genuine B & O unit, as opposed to a reconditioned one. It's getting difficult to find the genuine parts these days but they're still out there. Good luck.

Hi , Peter

In case of spinning in opposite direction CD getting on PAUSE , if it spinning in correct direction it play correctly , thats why I think it may be an issue.

Anyway thanks for your advice )

Hi David

This may be a problem for me ( I mean laser replace ) , because in my country ( Im from Ukraine ) B&O is really rear )

For example in my city witn more than 3 million people only one B&O dealer

Hi Amigo,

mine BS9000 also sometimes spin in opposite direction but then spins back normal and starts to play. Before cleaning the laser clean the disc or put a disk you're 100% sure is good. Then run TM 71 and 73 and see if it helped. If not you should clean the lens as they should be cleaned from time to time anyway. But TM 71 and 73 are important to know where the problem is.

Hi Peter ,

And how you clean the lens - with cleaning cd or it should be some other way?

Generally on that forum people warn before using a cleaning CD, personally I doubt it would ever run. I was dismantling clamper arm according to service manual in order to get to the lens. Now I see that running TM65 the lens should move far enough that you can just take out cover for CD clamper and lens f/light (9142). You shouldn't clean dry lens so use pure vodka or liquid as described in my previous post. Use q-tip ( ear stick) and then wipe with microfibre. As some liquid may fall into lens wiring, don't start playing immedately after cleaning but let it dry out. After each "maintenance" you should run TM 71 and 73.

Hi Peter

Finally i took the time to experiment with the tests

TM71 - OK71 , TM73 - APS ADJUSTED

Also I  conducted a test to determine the operating time of Beosound 9000 in different modes.

Such results - Standby 7944 , Power ON 11, CD 5, AUX 2 - it looks like 9000 most of the time just stood in standby mood and collected dust 🙂

Now I need to carry out maximum cleaning 9000 of dust - any ideas what can I do ?
