What the hell was with their test track, i can't believe they compared those systems! Of course the B&O is going to sound better... dah!

Hi Stan, thanks for your reply.

I know that the alarm can be set to either the SD card or radio. But I've looked at the manual and tried your instructions, but I can't get it to sleep from the SD card. Have you tried it and got it to work?

Following Stan's reply, can anyone confirm that the BS3 sleep timer will work with AMEM?

I can't get it to work- it would be great if it did.

 

Thanks,

Steve.

You busted me 🙂  The sleep timer part I just read from the manual without trying it (the wake timer I have done many times)...  I will give it a try and let you know.

Thanks for the replies.

Simon, strange coincidence-just after reading your post I touched the BS3 and got a strange tingling on my  finger when I moved it across the top panel. Is this what you mean by a shock? it feels weird. Doesn't happen when unplugged. What is the cause of this and can it be fixed?

Hope I don't have to have it sent away for weeks, as I've only just got it!

 

Best, Steve.

Hi Steve,

Sorry its taken me a while to respond to you. When I first bought my BeoSound 3 new from the dealer it worked fine without any shocks and the battery was charging properly. However, it soon developed a known fault with the top of the unit not responding to finger touches so it went back. The problems all started soon after it came back with a new replacement top part. That's as much as I can tell you. The dealer is currently trying to sort it out for me. The shock are mild and I am used to them now! My main concern now is that it doesn't hold the charge for more than a few hours only. That is obviously useless and means I can't use it as I want to.

Simon.

Thanks for the reply, Simon, do you actually mean shocks as opposed to the slight tingling when the fingers are moved across the surfaces of the BS3.

 

Steve

Yes I do mean shocks, definitley not tingling!
