Given the integration into a 'Beosystem', go for the subforum here:   

I started a new topic, but now it is marked as spam. That doesn't help.
Could you please check if something can be done to correct this?
I was only referring to an old topic with a link, further it was just text and a picture

Yes it went to spam - all sorted now but I'll keep an eye on the thread in case of future problems. Edited to add link to your new thread:  link

I hope to hear more of your project, @type81.  Perhaps we can collaborate on some protocol work in the future.

It took months  to find a Beolink 7000 within the realm of "affordable", and a few more weeks to figure out how to recap it.  It's kinda-sorta working now, but still a bit twitchy.

Now that I've cleared that hurdle, I'm finally getting my first look at B&O's Datalink '86 RDS protocol implementation.  Lots of BeoBabble "Invalid Message" warnings and several never-before-seen conditions yet to be coded for, and all of it yet left to decipher. I'll hopefully make some strides in getting a rough protocol update and update the documentation within a few weeks.

I'll be able to add RDS to the MCP iPhone app, but beyond that, its use case will be fairly limited, primarily for anyone who uses a BM7000 and still has an interest in listening to over-the-air radio.  That said, the journey of discovery keeps it fun.

For sure, if we can help each other I'll be happy to collaborate wich each other.
For now I work with the BL80 standard, and only need to listen to the commands.
So my usecase is pretty straight forward.
But maybe if this all is ready I can try to talk to the Beomaster for showing text on the Beolink 7000 with BL86 protocol.

Edit: I did a search on your topics, pretty impressive what you already achieved!
From protocol/software perspective you're way ahead of me

Finally fixed the CD skipping on my Beosound 2300, and I'm embarrassed to say it was simpler than I thought: dried or non-existant grease on the transport rails.  Drove me crazy because the skip happened at a very certain point on a CD, down to the second each time. So I thought it was a scratch in the CD -- but a new copy of that same CD skipped in nearly the same place. Obviously it was that particular area of the rail that was either blocked by gunk or too dry.

Oh well, I got a CDM12 controller board re-cap out of it... (and all these SMD's seen below tested within spec after removal, of course! :)

 

I finally had the time and all the pieces in one place to test my Beolab 5000 (restored by Frede in 2012) + BM5000 + BV3000s + BV 2500 Cubes + Stereo Width box (+a single CX50 as a center speaker for testing). I've bought these piece by piece between 2011-2017. Didn't really need any repairs other than contact cleaner on switches and new speaker plugs + re-cap of the crossovers on the speakers. These are so heavy 😁 And yes, they do sound very good! I had imagined the stereo width box doing something more exotic (like the Ambiophonic adapter) but still it does make an audible difference and I quite like it.

I didn't remember that I had the instruction booklet for the Stereo Width box and I couldn't see it online so I scanned and uploaded into archive.org:
