Good morning guys,
I recently had to change the tape belt for my beosystem 2500. I found well know video about how to actually replace the belt but nothing around on how to access the tape mechanism. Even if the service manuals are well do, it wasn't not much a help. I finally found a very cheap Ouverture to play as "dead body for practicing" and managed to successfully change the belts on both systems.
I though some pictures may be a little help for anyone running into this.
I post this on the english forum for maximum visibility, but I'm french, so forgive me if some instructions look weird, or typos or whatever… In any case if you read something like "hit it with the hammer until you hear a loud noise on the floor", its obviously a wording mistake!…
Here we go…
Tools you need : Torx screwdriver N°7, Pozidrive screwdriver N°1 (PZ1), the rest is up to your skills.
I personaly use a flat blade cutter to lift the connectors, but thin screwdriver or plastic spuddger may work as well.
It is safer to remove the glass doors before any operation. And of course, remove any tape in the deck.
1- Removing the back case.
The back case is hold by 7 screw, 6 in the corners, one in the FM Aerial holder.
Remove them and lift the case.
