Funny you noticed that!

 I had a 16v T Coupe, but i sold it a couple of years ago when i moved from NZ. Best car i have ever had - In Oz they dont import them, so i am coupe-less - but due to hit Europe so i will look for one there.....miss her dearly...

Hi Paddy,

I am only answering this post as my missus is due to give birth today New years eve of all days & of course we cannot go partying , so anyway here I am

I think your problem could be down to power issues i.e. power surges etc upsetting the sensitive electronics, have you got or can you try a surge protector on the equipment, the reason i suggest this is because I read in an earlier post about a Beovision basically blowing up due to a surge issue,

give it a try as a clean mains supply is always beneficial to sound and vision anyway so you will not lose, well apart from the cost of a surge protector.

Regards Simon

well i find myself now asking the same question as paddy...

today my BV6-22 barely 3 years old was carted off for repair with likely replacement of something very signficant (screen dim and flickering). I worry about the cost of repaid for such a new but very expensive TV. It died on Christmas eve and yesterday was the first time i coud get onto the service centre

The very same day my BS3 has failed in the same way described as paddy's; no real control of the touch pad, it turns on to any station at random, no control of volume, difficult to even turn off. And it's not a humid day in Sydney. Luckily its still under warranty

Last year my new BS2 was returned with too much white noise; my BL2500 speakers were in the shop for months with a buzz which still continues; my BS2300 doors sometime fail to open for days on end.

At least my Beolit 600 is reliable

Well, I am out of ideas now! Can't offer any other advice. What is it with B&O products in Australia? Perhaps they just don't work well in that environment for some reason! Sorry to hear you both have had all these problems, it really isn't typical. I have the BS3 and it has worked like a gem since day 1. I think its a great little product and use it often. I also owned the BS2300 for about 8 years before I traded it in against new equipment and I never once had a fault of any kind with it. All other B&O equipment I have owned and currently owned works flawlessly. I wish you could have the same experience.

All the best.

Simon.
