Hello, B&O lover!
I will receive a Beomaster 7000 in next some days, and it will be connected to my own Beogram CD6500. But unforlately, there is no remote, such as Beolink 1000, 5000, 7000 and Beo 4.
I have read Beomaster 7000's user manual, but I wondering how to adjust volume up & down without remote?
It is simple question, but excuse me, I have never used any kind of 5500,6500,7000 beomaster. So please help me to make clear this prolem.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, absolutely no way. You will need to get a remote.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Do I need a Beolink 7000?
Can Beolink 1000 solve this problem?
I am going to buy MCP 6500, will it can control Beomaster 7000?
Beolink 1000 and Beolink 7000 will work nicely with Beomaster 7000. I have no experience with a MCP 6500 but I think it will work...
MCP6500 will work but you can do 90% of jobs with Beolink 1000.
MCP = unreliable and eats batteries!
Beolink 7000 = unreliable and expensive.
Stick with Beolink 1000 is my advice!!
Have to agree with Graham - a Beolink 1000 is the best for everyday use, closely challenged by a Beo4.
However, things like programming radio presets will be sooooo much easier with an MCP. And mine is still running on the first batteries I put into it in February last year... It will be a useful purchase, just don't pay too much for it.
Thank you all for your advice.
I will find and buy Beolink 1000.
One more question, which speaker does the Beomaster 7000 drive best?
I have owned Beomaster 8000 to drive Beovox S80.2, and very satisfied. I am looking new pairs of speakers for my new Beomaster 7000. Any idea for the speaker ?
A pair of BeoLab Penta or BeoVox Penta is a good choose.
The amplifier in the 7000 will drive any B&O speaker adequately. It also has Powerlink sockets so can use any modern Beolab as well. I disagree with Graham on this one though - the Beomaster 7000 with a Beolink 1000 is only operating at half its potential. You cannot program and you lose the two way communication. Yes, the Beolink 7000 is getting old and may well need repair, but it is the best remote ever made and gives you essentially the full system in another room. Yet to be bettered in my opinion.
My B&O Icons:
I have 3 remotes for my Beosystem 6500.
1 Beo4 MKII
1 Beolink 1000. Printboard exchanged as it was DOA.
1 MCP 6500
On a day to day using the Beolink 1000 will cover the basics. I don't know how many time you actually set the radio channels in a place but its something I rarely do and you can change the frq. with the Beolink 1000 but not see the actual search. Do a search on Beoworld.
The MCP 6500 is to big to go be handheld so it needs a place where it can stand for longer period of times. As for batteries mine is still running on the ones I put in around 5 moths ago but I don't use it that much. Finding radio channels are simple with the MCP6500 and once stored you are better set with a Beolink 1000. One of the advantages is the sound, shift and av buttons being present.
The MCP was an afterthought as it was only the Beo4 that came with it. Its cheaper than a Beolink 7000 but I may get one. It also depends of the 2 way in my system. If there is no 2 way B&O then whats the point?
