Hi Metalas.
If the 5000 is anything like the later 7000, then mute function does not work on Speaker 2, only on Speaker 1.
Could it be you have accidently pressed mute on the front panel?

thanks that got it going but still seem to have nothing from left side on speakers 1, Andy P alias metalas
Hi Andy,
There is a common fault with Beomasters of that age, where the relay that mutes Speaker 1 can fail, causing a loss of sound on one or both channels. I always think that the Speaker 2 output gives a better quality of sound than Speaker 1, even on Beomasters that are not faulty. I use Speaker 2 for my main room output on my Beomaster 3500 and Speaker 1 for my extension room, where no serious listening takes place.
If Speaker 2 works, then I would use that connection instead.
Best regards,
Steve.
thanks steve I was a bit worried I'd bought a lemon it does sound good out of speaker 2. Don't seem to get much response from trying to set the time and date on the MCP I'll start by putting in new batteries but I don't think that's the problem might just be me not knowing what I'm doing yet, I may give the 4500 a run and see if sounds better or is easier for this HiFi ignoramus to get his head round.cheers
Hi AndyT read your thread on renovating the s120 speakers, great story and picture board, makes me glad we have a really good audio sales and repair shop here in Auckland [Axcent audio] they specialise in good quality audio gear,my s50 speakers that they did the same job on sound great I was interested to hear they will improve as they loosen up, I thought that my $150 less than 50 pounds equivalent was well spent you have the patients of Jove.just an aside my s50 have the overload ,when I look these up on beoworld they don't seem to have this are mine of the last produced , also are you audiofiles out there under rating what sounds like a really good speaker,[ just asking .] Thanks Andy P. alias metalas
