hi,I also have a beomaster 5000 that shuts down after about a minute of playing.I suspect because it is overheating as the heat sync gets hot very quickly.how did you resolve this issue?

thanks

Darren

Hi Darren,

I solved my issue simply by cleaning the heat sinks and re-terminating my speaker wires with new plugs, insuring no stray strands were shorting.  There are so many possible causes, it's difficult to say what might be your system's issue.

Dillen is your man. He knows exactly what to do and can supply the (inexpensive) parts. Fixed my 5000.

If you want to do it the right way look Here and get yourself a manual, and get parts from Martin (comes with installation instructions)
