i would definately wrap it in some bubble wrap and transport it up right not face down, unfortunately i don't own this tv but for transportation thats how i would look into transporting it.

hopefully some other people on this forum should be able to help when it comes to dismantling the motorised stand.

There's a LONG allan key required to get the TV off the stand, the setup isn't really strong enough to move it all together.

The TV can be moved flat, face UP with lots of packing underneath to support the sides, etc.

Hi Murray

The screen is secured to the floor stand by two allen screws one above the other. If you look from behind betwen the two poles you will see them. Ideally you need a long Allen key. Once the screws are removed, you need to slightly tilt the screen away from the poles and lift it up & off the stand.

The BeoLab7.2 sits on a mounting tray and should also have two screws securing it in place. These are un done from underneath the tray. If on the other hand you have a BeoLab7.4, the retaining screws are on the rear of the cabinet and once removed the speaker lifts up & off.

It is safe to transport the LCD screen face down (plasma screen should always be transported in teh upright position). Besides the onvious precautions to avoid scratches, be very careful not to catch the DVD drawer. If it snags on the floor it pops off and is a pain to re afix.

Hope that helps

remember not to lift the tv by holding the front screen,also becareful of the two cooling fans on the bottom of the tv when lifting!

Very interesting tips, as I have asked myself the same question when I move my 7-40.

Am a bit surprised by the shops inability to help - especially since I read that B&O has said they need to strengthen their shops.

I don't know if its different with your dealer but I can call mine and ask for the original packaging.

Did this as I sold a pair of BL8000 without having the box and he gave me a mint packaging even without any charge...

Hi Stephan,

Unfortunately not the same with my dealer. They installed my BV7 and BL800's and removed the packaging. When I asked for packaging this time I was told that they would charge me for it and it would take at least a week to come! I don't have a week, hence my mild panic.

Hi Opman,

Thanks very much for your comprehensive reply. I feel very confident doing it myself now.

Thanks to everyone else for their suggestions and advice too.

Best regards... Murray.

Let us all know how you get on!
