BS9000 Scrolling Txt ??????

21 replies

I have got a New BS9000, and i have noticed it has got scrolling txt on the Radio channels, when the txt scrolls it is missing various letters, when scrolling, should this happen, it might even miss out 7 x letters,  I take it the BS9000 has not got DAB ???

Has anybody experience this, could it be a faulty unit, i bought it in Jan 2009

Cheers Martin

may be the scrolling comes from the radio station.

The RDS data are send each seconds with the letter position  changed before  sending.

Mine scrolls on Nmusic, pretty much reads all the title as in itunes and its a mk2.

If you press the green button you get the name of the album aswell as artist and track title.

Are you serious? I thought only BeoCenter 2/BeoSound 4 could display detailed info in NMUSIC/NRADIO, if BS9000 does, then I might consider buying it on second hand.

Yes mine does scroll, partly, its the Limited edition, does anyboby elses scroll txt ??? 

Some photos to illustrate:

Again, mine is a mk2, does not auto scroll and you have to press the yellow, blue, green and red buttons to get the information.

Thanks for the photo's, is this scrolling on N. Music ??.

When i put a cd on, txt comes up with the cd details, album, artists etc...  but say when i put Radio 2 on, txt starts to scroll across saying " Ste+ve  W+ight +n the af++rnoon" but with various letters missing. This comes straight off of my main FM ariel point.

Hello mob,

I suppose you're using a beoport box connected to a mac computer which is running the Anders Odlund BM-Link software together with itunes.

Do you know if we can do the same using a PC and beoport software?

Thank you.

Yes, thats correct.. should have added that!  I recall using this with my laptop which I am sure also displayed the same info, I will reconnect when I get a chance and let you know for sure.

SORRY! Just re-read the question and saw the op was asking about text on radio.. not cd etc! I dont get scrolling text on radio....

👍

Hi Martin,

I think it's only a weak tuning problem; does this happen with ALL the RDS radio stations you can tune?

Yes, my BS9000 mk2 (2001 model) usually scrolls very well RDS radio text, but among hundreds, I only can tune about 10 radio stations with RDS features;

however, sometimes (very rarely) it fails brefly during some bad reception radio signal.

Regards.
