HI all

 I have a pair of penta 3 speakers and an ouverture. last night i turned the ouverture off, both speakers auto turned off, LED's went red but 1 of the displays on a speaker froze and stayed on. The only way i could get it to turn off was to unplug the speaker, but now the display on that speaker doesnt work at all.

 I havent moved anything, all audio/ video switchs are set right, ive swopped the displays and boards with the good speaker and they work, i was just wandering if anyone has a clue why the display should stay on after the ouverture was turned off, maybe a relay?? if so where should i look??

 

many thanks for any help

I've seen that happening on my MK3's many times. I just don't mind it so much that I would actually service them or something.

The problem of the display being left on, is a small problem. So small that I don't see the need to have them serviced. (Or the Beocenter, they are connected to.)

Ok, I thought that's what you meant.

So, what happens with the display when the unit is turned back on again? Does it resume normal functioning ok? And does the display remain on indefinately until the unit is turned back on? i.e. days, weeks, even months?

I dont have this issue thankfully, but am just curious.

Regards,

In my case, it's on a set I haven't used for years, but yes. As you say it stays on until the speaker is either unplugged from mains, or you put on the system again and it's back to normal functioning operation. Tunring it off again, might also turn of the display. Sometimes a mains disconnect is needed.
