Hello I have question regarding my Beosound 9000: When playing CDs and tracks in different ways,particulary in random order, some time afterwards it paused (each time in another CD from the six).Can you advise me if there a malfunction in the beosound 9000? Or may be the optics of the CD mechanism has to be clean? If so, how can I clean it?Can I use cleaning CD?Or may be something else to be done? Please advise. Thanks Eli

Best to start a new thread, I'm sure you will get better answers and people will find you question easier.

I got mine in 2000 and have loved it ever since. I have added all kinds of other B&O items since, but it is still my favorite product in my house....although I did just get a BV 4-50 and BS3, so we will see if this changes!

Well I got mine a few wks ago for almost "free!" 

Picked up an ebay BS9000 plus BL3 pair of speakers for just a bit over what the pair of BL3 could be sold for.  BS9000 came in the original box, Beo4 remote, and was the MKIII version!  BL3s came with floor stands!  All worked and arrived perfect!
