Taken a Beo4 from a friend- is it possible to do something with that stubborn LOUDNESS with it?

He also has a Beo5, which I also can lend for a couple of days.

PS

How does that backup battery looks? I'm ready to pick it out, but still a little afraid not to damage the system. 

Thanks!!!

I'm not with my BM5500 now so can't verify, but it should be possible with Beo4...

• Use LIST until you see A.SETUP, then GO
• LIST to LOUDNSS, then each press of GO should toggle loudness on/off
• LIST to S.STORE, press GO and the current settings (including tone/volume/loudness) should be stored in memory
• Finally, switch the Beomaster off & on to see that the setting really stays off before returning the remote 🙂

The backup battery is buried inside the metal shields on the CPU module, which in turn is buried rather deep behind the front panel in the Beomaster, and as a final nuisance the battery is soldered in. I heartily do not recommend going there unless you are experienced with electronics.

How about Shift-Sound ?

On BL1000 nothing happens this way.

Thanks a lot!

Will try that this tonight- I'm gonna win that Loudness anyway...! R-r-r-rrrrrrrrr!

Have found all instructions for all units- hang on, Beomaster- it's BeoBuster coming!😜

BUSTED!!!🙂

The LOUDNESS can be turned off with Beo4:

1) Press LIST until A.SETUP appears, and press Go;

2) Press LIST until LOUDNSS appears, and press GO to switch it on or off;

3) Press LIST until S.STORE appears, and press GO to store the chosen sound adjustments (the volume level is also saved)

The sound with Loudness off is simply fantastic in comparison- it seems, the LOUDNESS is made via very simple sound processor, that makes the sound a bit synthetic- adhusting BASS and TREBLE is quite fine about the sound influence.

Thanks a lot to everyone!

Is there anyone who prefers LOUDN on?

Me with some of the vintage kit. It works for the purpose it was designed to, which is to compensate for the properties of the ear when you can't or don't want to use much volume. With most of the receivers/amps I'd like it to "back off" a bit faster when adding volume, though.

Agree- the function is very useful, when listening quiet in the evening, for example (if you've got a flat), but would be good to have the adjustments of how Loudness goes off with raising volume.
