Sounds like something else in your MasterLink system also needs a PIN perhaps? This can shut the whole system down after a few minutes play.

No, I haven't any device protected by the PIN-code besides BS3200. AV9000 haven't this feature at all.

BS3200 plays only in the MasterLink system and max 1-2 mins then it shuts down.

I had a "no sound" problem after disconnecting my speakers (Beolab5's)....they played for 3-4 mins and then stopped/......... and they required a pin.....i didnt have a pin, so i phoned my B&O dealer in Dublin  and he was able to get me the corract  pin after comfirming I was the owner of the speakers.....

How can I enter my own PIN-code or reset it? I have some repair experience! Or I only must take it over to service centre?

Reading that line it sounds as though you can't remember the code - is that correct.

If it was working before you turned it off, you need to put in the pin code it was working with 2-3 months ago. It may have been put in by the dealer or by you. If you do not have that original pin code because the dealer forgot to tell you, or you forgot it, you will need to contact the dealer to give you a "unlock" code so you can reset it and put in a new code.

Dear Stoobie, thanks for Your assumption, but I used this BS3200 for 4+ years. I set this PIN-code 4 years ago for the factory unlocked device (I don't know for what I set up this imbecile PIN-code!?!? ((((( ). I assure you that I know and remember my PIN-code, but I can't tape it because BS3200 doesn't offer this possibility, instead of this BS3200 doesn't react for any keys of its front panel any more after these 2-3 months switching off.

PIN code is not an imbecile thing, it prevents B&O products from being stolen. And you don't need to use it, it can be switched off. But like I said in the same topic you posted in The Workbench, you probably need to contact your dealer with this issue. 

Be sure that robber easy deactivate PIN-code, but an honest man will pay a lot of money. I know that ONLY diagnostic was more than 100EUR in Russian service 4 year ago. Well I have to prepare Money...

Deactivating the PIN has been tried, without success. The PIN in the EEPROM is also in the chassis. If you only replace the EEPROM the PIN will be transferred from the chassis to the EEPROM. If you replace the chassis the PIN will be transferred from the EEPROM to the chassis. If you replace both, there is no data in either and the product will not work. The only way to get it to work is request a mastercode which will only be supplied to the owner of the product. In your case a preprogrammed EEPROM might do the trick. To get this you have to contact your dealer and bring an ID.

I would just like to try any soft/medium/hard(?) reset if it possible for this model myself. It may get something moving and BS3200 offer me to enter PIN-code in the same way as before.

If it's inpossible, I will barely take it to service ((
