GREETINGS TO ALL B&O EXPERTS!

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU... I RECENTLY HAVE BOUGHT THE BEOSYSTEM 7000 FROM EBAY AND IT SEEMS THAT THE CD IN NOT WORKING PROPERLY ! LIKE A B&O CD SHOULD WORK!

 WHEN I INSERT A CD IT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT CANNOT ENGAGE TO TRANSPORT AND IT MAKES TOO MUCH TIME TO RECOGNIZE AND MAKES AN AUDIBLE SEARCH NOISE (LIKE PORTABLE CD PLAYERS DO) AND THEN PLAYS LIKE HORROR! IT JUMPS OVER TRACKS AND  YOU CAN HEAR A SCRATCHY NOISE AND !MUSIC! PLAYED IN WRONG SPEED! THEN I PUSH STOP AND OPEN TO TAKE CD OUT. IF I TAKE OUT AND THEN IN MANY TIMES, THEN THE CD IS LOADED SILENTLY (YOU CAN ONLY HEAR A VERY SLIGHT CLICK) , VERY FAST (ALL TRACKS DISPLAYED IN 2 SECONDS) AND AFTER THAT IT PLAYS SUPERB!

 WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL B&O SERVICE IN GREECE, WE TALKED OVER THE PHONE AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE WHOLE TRANSPORT MODULE , AND THAT I CANNOT FIND A NEW ONE!

THEN I BOUGHT SOME LEN'S CLEANING SET, THE ONE WITH LIQUID WINDOW ONTHE CLEANING CD, AND THE SITUATION PROVED A LITTLE BETTER! DO YOU ADVICE A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING ? DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE THE LENS OR TRANSPORT? I KNOW THAT THIS QUESTIONS ARE TRICKY AS YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY HEAR OR SEE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME EXPERT ADVICE!

KIND REGARDS,

GEORGE

 

Have a look at this thread:

I would have a go at changing the capacitors on the cd-controller module if I were you.
 

Hi George,

As suggested I would first try changing the 2103 capacitor, because it only takes a minute if you know how to solder.  Also, could you not type in all capital letters?  It makes it harder on the eyes, and looks like you're shouting.
