Issue with BeoSound 9000 Mark 3 – CD Sled Scraping

18 replies
I turned the two screws by about 60 degrees CCW and nothing scratches anymore. Thanks for your tips and advice.
Can I put the Beosound into diagnostic mode with a Beoremote1? ... or control it directly with it? It is now connected via an NL/ML converter and it works.

 

 
That's great!

You can control the BS9000 with BR One, but I don't think there is a way to add the "Shift" command, which is required to access test modes.

yes, shift is probably the problem. with the beo4 audio mode, the rest should actually work. but unfortunately it doesn't, which mode do I have to choose and how can I change the IR options of the bs9000 with the br 1?

do you have any tips, or do I need another 1000 or 5000 for these functions?
BS9000 IR commands will only work if there is something plugged into the Powerlink port. Do you have speakers connected? Changing option mode via remote also requires buttons that I don't believe are available on the BR1. You would have to use an older remote. I recommend Beolink 1000 or Beo4.

All speakers are connected to the BV11. I will be purchasing a Beo4 later today.
So, is there anything plugged into the Powerlink port on the 9000? If not, you'll need an option 1 plug.

So I bought the beo4. Logically, the bs9000 could be switched to opt1 straight away. It now also works with the beoremoteone with the corresponding beo4 audio option. Only masterlink and headphones are connected to the bs9000.
Ah I see, masterlink will do it too. Glad you got it working!
