Overture 3000(unlock)

5 replies

Hello gentlemen.

i own a B&O overture 3000.

Using it with no problems at all,with the help of BEO 4 ,suddently I have a problem.

The red and green lights are on and my B&O is locked!

i don’t know what to do to operate it again.

Can  somebody give me some help?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

There is a sequence of keys that will lock the doors.

On the remote with the system in standby, try pressing SHIFT 9 0 3 6 9 with no more than two seconds between each button.  The display should say UNLOCKED.

I believe that when both lights are on it indicates that a timer has been set?

Yes, the green light implies that a timer has been set, but this shouldn't stop it working.  And you should be able to clear the green light by pressing MUTE with the system at standby.

EDIT: Using MUTE to clear the timer works on the 2300, but I am not sure about the Ouverture.  From the Ouverture manual, to clear the timer:

On the control panel (if the doors are open):

- Press SETUP

- Press DOWN arrow, until TIMER is displayed

- Press PLAY, to see current timer settings

- Press UP arrow, to switch timer on or off (green light should cycle on/off)

- Press PLAY to store setting

Is it an Ouverture or a 3000 you own ?

the Ouverture has a tapedeck, the 3000 does not.

If it is a 3000, then there is the risk that the processor is dead, and there is nothing you can do easily.
