Beolab 2: No longer receiving signal
in BeoLab · Jan 20, 2024 08:17I have a Beosound 4000 that outputs to Beolab 2, which is then daisy chained out to a pair of Beolab 6000. One day when I turned on the Beosound 4000, the Beolab 2 led indicator remained red and did not turn green as usu…

Problem programming Beo4 remote to IR repeater/blaster
in BeoRemote · Nov 29, 2022 04:19Thanks all! That's correct, there is an app on my phone (Tuya) that can link to a device (IR blaster) that sends IR signals to the respective device. I can see that my IR blaster is in fact running on 38kHz. I wish i bou…
Problem programming Beo4 remote to IR repeater/blaster
in BeoRemote · Nov 28, 2022 04:22I have a wifi IR device (sorry I don't know what it's officially called), which lets me program IR signals into the device, and then I would use the app on my phone to trigger the device to send the signal. For example, …

Beolab 2 Powers on but no signal

Beolab 2 Powers on but no signal
in BeoLab · Oct 4, 2022 09:16I've finally caved and took my working Beolab 2 apart, and tried putting in the base unit from the non-working Beolab 2 into the working one, and it still did not work. The light does turn green and I do hear a very weak…

Beolab 2 Powers on but no signal
in BeoLab · Sept 4, 2022 11:26Just to update in case anyone interested - I used a 9v battery and connected the base unit +/- terminals and hear a mild clicking sound. I've also managed to source a multimeter, i'm getting an ~8ohms reading so I believ…
Beolab 2 Powers on but no signal
in BeoLab · Sept 2, 2022 14:08Found the service manual, maybe it's the base unit that's faulty (the front facing piece) Is there any way to test the base unit? I will not use my working condition Beolab 2 to test it :D

Beolab 2 Powers on but no signal
in BeoLab · Sept 1, 2022 02:22I picked up a very beat up Beolab 2, it powers on when plugged in (red LED), but when I plug in the powerlink cable and try to play music, there's no sound (still red LED, does not turn green). I took it apart and looked…

Beolab 2 radiator rubber melted and sticky
in BeoLab · Jul 6, 2022 05:42I picked up a used beolab 2 that has been sitting in a storage for some time. The radiator surfaces (assuming is plastic) seems to have melted a bit and it's very sticky, and if I scrape it gently it'll come off. Is ther…
A question for Geoff Martin on BL8000 Damping…
in BeoLab · Jun 24, 2022 01:42Thank you for this! I have a stupid question (I'm new to this) - how important is it to use the original damping foam parts from b&o? Will it make a significant difference to the sound quality? To me it just looks like f…

in BeoLab · Jun 21, 2022 03:35Thanks for your great write up. I'm fixing up my BL6000 and the foam has completely fallen apart as well. I will check with my local B&O store whether I can get replacement foams (unlikely), but if not can anyone suggest…
