I should first say that I am in the Algarve in Portugal and B & O dealers are very scarce in Portugal. So my Beosound 5 has just been returned from repair in the UK.

Having pieced all the connections together inside the Beosound and then in turn to the BeoMaster I have hit a few snags. Firstly the BeoMaster shows up as a network device once the Beosound is switched on but does not show as a Network device with a drive letter on This PC.

BeoConnect is running and has found the network IP address of the Beosound 5 and pings a return.

Secondly, on the Beosound display, the left side selector arc is not working, one of the choices is Highlighted but I am unable to change the selection.

The unit has been back to the UK twice now and is a real expensive laborious pain to do so again.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Thank you.

I just set up a Beosound 5 for the first time. Installing the Beosound to the wall bracket or table stand puts stress on the cables. Re-inserting cables on both the Beosound and Beomaster resolved this problem for me.
