Beocenter AV5 strange fault: automatically changing sources
in BeoVision · Mar 17, 2025 07:08Dear members, my Beocenter AV5 has developed a strange fault. When I turn it on, it doesn't stay on the selected source, but rather randomly switches between various sources. For example, if I select CD, the Beocenter go…
Comptaibility of MX IR receiver boards
in BeoVision · Jul 3, 2023 09:02Dear members, I am looking for a Beovision MX8000 IR receiver board since mine is missing. Does it need to be the MX8000 version or are others from other models compatible? An MX4200 one didn't work, unfortunately. It fi…

in BeoSystem · Jan 4, 2023 21:24Then 2 pin is fine, of course. I was assuming that you are using speakers with display that were typical for B&O of the time and matching the 4500. Sorry, my bad. Cheers, Kai
Reparatur BeoGram 7000
in Deutsche · Jan 4, 2023 21:20Hallo Jens, sicher, dass es nicht einfach ein defekter Tonabnehmer ist? Wenn der keinen Halt in der Rille mehr findet, dann wird er einfach quer über den Plattenspieler geschleift. VG, Kai
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Jan 4, 2023 19:52You are of course correct, Guy. I was assuming that already. We managed to get a spare MX8000 IR board. Let's see whether that works. I am still suprised that the MX4200 board did nothing since to the best of my awarenes…
Beosystem 4500 Speaker Cables
in BeoSystem · Jan 4, 2023 19:48Ah, I see. You want to use speakerlink rather than powerlink. Is that correct? I am not 100% sure but even in that case you need the four pin version. The two pin version likely can't feed the display with data since it …
B&O Cartridges
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2023 19:41Good evening, many of us have. My take on it: the 20 EN, CL, etc. series is the best sounding, in particular better than MMC 1-5, at least to my ears. MMC 6000 is the way to go. The earlier SP 8/9 is decent as well, but …
Beosystem 4500 Speaker Cables
in BeoSystem · Jan 4, 2023 19:35Hello, nah, the displays won't work then. You need the correct fully wired MK2 powerlink cables. What length do you need? Steve (Soundsheavenly) can probably provide the right type of cables. I would have a spare pair as…
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Jan 1, 2023 19:08That's a very good idea. Another thought. The MX8000 has an STB controller installed. Wouldn't that be an option as well?
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Jan 1, 2023 16:54Dear Guy, thanks again. MX4200 is very similar to MX8000, from the same generation, similar chassis, and also a pure one way product. Therefore, it is no surprise that the cable is similar as well. Unfortunately not much…
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Dec 31, 2022 19:39Dear Guy, yes, six PINs in MX8000 connector. 1 red power, 2 silver grounding, 3 IR brown, 4 red standby, 5 yellow LED red and 6 green LED green. MX4200 cable has also 6 Pins, but can't tell the inside since it is not cut…
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Dec 31, 2022 15:39Dear Guy, thanks very much for the answer. I meant the board sitting right on top under the cover where the standby LED is located. MX8000 is a one way product, therefore we are speaking receiver rather than transceiver,…
Missing IR Board on Beovision MX8000
in BeoVision · Dec 31, 2022 10:04Dear members, I purchased a Beovision MX8000 some years ago and kept it in storage ever since. The previous owner had it as part of a set up with non B&O components. When trying to use it, I discovered that it did nothin…
Masterlinking Beocenter AV5 and Beocenter 2
in North America · Jun 17, 2022 04:34Dear members, I try to link a Beocenter 2 to a Beocenter AV5 via Masterlink. I have additional speakers connected to the Beocenter 2. What is the correct option setting for the Beocenter 2 and the Beocenter AV5? Normally…
Beovox M100-2 midrange speaker required.
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2021 09:39I already told you via PM that there is no good alternative replacement and that originals are very sought after, rare, and therefore awfully expensive. You won't get a different answer here. Greetings.
Beocord VX7000 no sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2020 11:35Hi there, makes a lot of sense. That is exactly what I did except for the SPDIF setting. I can't seem to find it. Whre is it supposed to be? I have looked everywhere and no entry where to disable SPDIF. Thanks! Kai
Beocord VX7000 no sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2020 23:31I am pretty sure that it is due to the DD module. A converter will be needed. Thanks! Kai
Beocord VX7000 no sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2020 21:03There is cinch audio out on the VX7000. Can this be used to get sound to the MX8000? Sorry to be so lost here. I have had a similar issue with my DVD2 when connected to the old Avant. Scart didn't transport any sound and…
Beocord VX7000 no sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2020 20:02Hi there, can't say for sure. Have tried two different Scart cables to no avail. Maybe they were both not fully wired? Are you sure that you need a fully wired one? How can you tell whether it is that or not? Greetings, …
