UK: BeoVision 7-40 mk5 PSU wanted
in Wanted · Jul 16, 2026 12:20I have a BeoVision 7-40 Mk 5 that locks up during switch-on from standby. The red light goes out, but nothing further seems to happen. The most likely cause seems to be the PSU, part number 8004446. Unfortunately this pa…

UK: MasterLink cable wanted

Product Configuration Guide
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 30, 2026 19:40I was trying to find a way to stay "Micro$oft Free", but still run the software. Hence my attempts to use Wine. Most issues such as this finally turn out to be a simple matter of configuration... the trouble is that find…

Masterlink: Choosing an Audio Master
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2026 17:18Ah! That makes a lot of sense. It does imply that I need to get the B&O technician to set up the NL/ML converter, though, so it'll be important to plan out future upgrades to get those included, too. It was the use of BL…
Masterlink: Choosing an Audio Master
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2026 14:09Just thinking about the diagram that you referenced... The two ML networks are connected through back-to-back BLCs. How does one access the other? Is it (for example, from Core) N.RADIO gets network radio, whilst LINK, N…

Masterlink: Choosing an Audio Master
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 8, 2026 22:45Also depending on software versions most of the products should be able to work as link room products (option 5 or 6) and be able to get the source from the Audiomaster with a Link + Source command. I'm not sure whether …

100 Years of Bang & Olufsen - Struer Visit 2025
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 16, 2025 14:37Pepps, sorry to take so long to reply, but I've been pretty much offline for the last month. Anyway, all sorted now! Your plan seemed good, so we've gone for a variation of it: LHR to CPH, then the 1119 train to Struer. …

Beovision 7-40 Mk5 - 3D capability?
in BeoVision · Jun 8, 2024 10:42That's a shame. It also seems to go against B&O's usual approach of only making visible those options that are available to you. I've been trying to establish what is meant by "a 3D TV", but haven't yet found a website t…
