Has anyone done the software upgrade? I understand the part is simply a chip that needs to be replaced, are there any other procedures for install?

Have my BS 9000 MK3 bought new in october 2001. 14 years of daily use without one issue.Still looks and perform like new.Love the mecanism mooving (even greater in a dark room), the fact the cd's stays like you place them.Wife and kids love it.One of, if not The, best B&O product ever.
I have a Mk1 that is still working but not perfectly. Might need some service but it is very rarely I even use CDs. It plays but makes a scratching noise while moving between the disks. Sometimes it stops. Mainly I play music from radio or a.aux (AirPlay). I see no real reason to upgrade to N.Music since that is a quite obsolete solution now, especially when you have all the radio stations and music you want in your phone. I enjoy the BS9000 look and feel. Opening the drawer once in a few months keeps me happy. It's that simple for me.
I had a m1 and a mk3. The mk1 did need its cd mechanism replacing when it was about 9 years old (and I used them a lot) but other than that they worked perfectly. Sound was excellent.
I have my BS 9000 now for 17 years. Although the laser had to be replaced three times and also the mainboard, I still love this device. It's a masterpiece of design and a highlight in every room, a B&O statement at its best. When the laser will fail next time and I cannot get a new laser (because it's not available anymore), I will buy a used Mk3, no matter what it costs.Take a look at a BS 9000 and a Moment side by side, and you will see the difference between an icon and bullshit!RegardsRäuber
Met my first Moment up close last nite. The tablet is really beautifully made, and the materials have that BnO gestalt.Glad I ordered one!BTake a look at a BS 9000 and a Moment side by side, and you will see the difference between an icon and bullshit.
i have MK1 and MK2
MK1 ( one working ) 2 units to be repaired.
MK2 working.
no difeerence when workig...top of the line units.
for me the B & O icons of all time.
moreover, Beosound 2500, 2300, and BEOLAB 8000
All newer units do not have (mojo) to become an icon.
ok..maybe Beolab 5 and BL 18
Hi,
i've done the upgrade of my BS9000 MK1. It's just to replace the original EPROM chip with a new one containing the new version. Nothing will change after this except that it understands and controls NetRadio and NetMusic delivered by the BeoMedia1 (or 5) which is connected via Masterlink.
The AUX connector is still available for other devices.
Has anyone done the software upgrade? I understand the part is simply a chip that needs to be replaced, are there any other procedures for install?
