Ghosts in Beocenter 9500?

26 replies

Success! Ghosts run away! It was necessary to reset RAM in TEST MODE. That wasn't that easy as after i put BC 9500 in TM all controls lit up but after pressing key 7 all of them just blinked and no 1 on display appeared. I tried several times and no effect. So I tried to execute 7 by remote controller - no effect but strangely something was switched (volume controls lit up) and than I pressed longer key 7 and than finally 1 appeared on the display. The BC was reset and so far no self switches on.

Thank you all very much for help and support!!!

PS I will try to get BL 5000 but offer is poor even on ebay.de.

Super! What you want is a Beolink 7000. There are some on ebay.de. It is less finicky than the 5000 and much cooler.

Great - I am glad it works!

And the site has sparked a renewed interest in B&O, hence I am expecting a BC2300 (two-way) in the post today - a repair project as the doors apparently don't open/close properly.  I have already ordered a new drive belt in anticipation!

Hi Max - congrats!

For hand-held use the Beolink 5000 is the 2-way choice.

But Gregg is right: the BL7000 is the ne plus ultra! You just need to use it on a suitably-placed table stand (the charger that came with it) or the rarer-than-hens'-teeth floor stand. When the BL7000 sits alone on a table I find that the height has to be just right for me to read the screen: it's very angle-dependent. But the experience in use is unforgettable.

Whichever one you go for - or both - enjoy!

I think that Ghost now traveled from your Beocenter 9500 to my Beosound 3000 to chill out there 😁

Since I've attached a Beolink Converter 1611 to the ML-Bus my Beosound 3000 switches on randomly AND in random modes (CD, N.Music...) without anyone using a remote, an app or s.th. else. No timer programmed and the times are randomly.

Could it be that the Beolink Converter is defective? How do I tell him that he's VIDEOmaster? I powered off everything before connecting it to ML and powered the Beosound 3000 before the Beolink converter.

At this moment there are only Beolink Converter 1611, Beosound 3000 and Beolab 3500 left on the ML and I still have this behaviour...

Any suggestions? Come on you helpful Ghost Busters! šŸ˜•

Hi you cant' tell hm that he's a video master it decides itself depnding on the connected devices.

First it start as a kind of videomaster when connected to the mains after the Bosond 3000 but then you connect the BC9500 to the mains and then there are to audio systems connected to it and it doesn't know how to react. There's just one oppotunity left: The BS 3000 is in Link Mode (option 6)  and the BC9500 is the Masterlink Audio Master with a Link Audio system and your Link Speaker.

If the Beolink Converter is connetced to the BS 3000 the BS300 has to be set to option 2 so that it reacts on video command too and gets them from the Masterlink connection. This is the way to get audio signals from the BeoLink Converter from the A.AUX connector to the BS3000. This additional source can only be opened by TV, SAT, VTPAE....
