Beovision 10 - How to connect RCA?
in BeoVision · Feb 18, 2024 15:38Thanks, I actually made two mistakes: 1) I have 2 Beo4 remotes, and one has the Go button, the other has a tiny joystick thing. I was using the wrong remote for that TV, so I could navigate but not click anything 2) I as…
Beovision 10 - How to connect RCA?
in BeoVision · Feb 17, 2024 10:44For years I've had the BV10 on the wall with an HDMI connector but I'm putting it out in the sunroom with a Nintendo for the kids. Anyway, it has the yellow-white-red RCA connector which I've plugged in, but I forget for…
Beovision 7 repair
in BeoVision · Jun 24, 2023 07:05My old BV7 decided to not turn on, just the red dot, no response. I had this a few years ago but when I opened it I could see a capacitor that had popped and managed to replace it and it worked fine the last 3 years. How…
What source for new speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 4, 2022 13:04My living room Analogue system has been on the blink in a couple ways and the BeoSound 2 was something I'd thought about picking up at the weekend. (or maybe a 2nd A9, I love how you can order the custom covers for them …
What source for new speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 4, 2022 04:19(As a physical media person, I ask every few yers but here we go again) As far as I can tell, most of the current range is 'bring your own device' speakers. I have tapes and radio and records, although I also have about …
Better App than iTunes
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 7, 2021 03:21(I posted an identical question 2-3 years ago, I thought I'd see if we're anywhere better today) So the current lineup is wireless speakers and if you don't want to have yet *another* monthly subscription, that means you…
BeoVision 10 not turning on
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 23, 2021 16:48Wow. So today I went to unplug the cables, take it downstairs and have a look inside. Randomly I thought, "let's plug it in again and see if turning it off and on works" It worked! Turning things off and on at the mains …
BeoVision 10 not turning on
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 22, 2021 11:47Went to turn the TV on this morning but nothing is happening. Tried, swapping the HDMI cable to my Laptop and still nothing. The green light comes on but there's no picture or sound and then it goes off after a little bi…
Beolit 20 launched!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2020 13:26This is very much a "where do you live" question. If you're in Europe and especially if you're in a city then DAB is a thing but I have friends who barely get mobile phone reception and my parents live about 10 miles fro…
Beolit 20 launched!
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2020 04:29I just don't get why they can't put a radio in there too, an AMFM circuit must cost like 2 Euros or something. I remember when the first version of came out first back in 2012 [?] and I would have gotten one if I had the…
Overture: Replacement deck or suggestions on what to do with it?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2020 02:47I posted a few months ago about how my Overtures tape deck spends about 5-7 seconds making clicking sounds when it starts up (due to a broken clutch cog) Anyway, I've searched once per week to see if any spare parts woul…
How to wall mount heavier tvs
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 3, 2020 03:47Answers as I found 1) The bracket actually has multiple holes designed to fit presumably everywhere 2) The larger tv brackets have 4 points so it is itself the bracing between 2 studs. For my BV7 which has a single line …
New Century Tape Idler Cog? (3D printed vs actual part vs new tape mech?)
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 16, 2020 05:00I came across an eBay seller who is selling some of the (more lucrative) bits to a century that was physically damaged. He thinks he probably has the tape deck in the pile of bits he didn't think were worth much. After r…
New Century Tape Idler Cog? (3D printed vs actual part vs new tape mech?)
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2020 02:44I actually got down to seeing it by taking the piece of that covers it (the bit that goes up/down on play) off. It's just a snap fit that holds it so not too bad. And to get that cog out is pretty easy at this point real…
New Century Tape Idler Cog? (3D printed vs actual part vs new tape mech?)
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 15, 2020 01:44I posted a week or so ago about how my Century tape mech worked when I removed a snapped tape. Anyway, I noticed that it was skipping a bit today when I went once again to use it. After a few seconds the pickup spool sta…
Century Tape Mechanism Clicking sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 11, 2020 02:07As an aside I will say that my elation at having the kitchen Gigi working again is by far outweighed by losing a tape. I could plug the computer in and record a copy tomorrow (I keep all my playlists) but it’s not the po…
Century Tape Mechanism Clicking sound
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 11, 2020 02:03I decided to finally spend an evening opening the unit to see what it was, expecting to find a loose band and have the parts all over my basement while waiting on a new one to arrive in the post. Well it turns out it was…
BV7 Pop, and then not working
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 10, 2020 01:48Well I opened it up after getting a service manual online. It was super dusty inside so it must have been getting hot. Once you get in there's two main modules that swing out and the larger one has a whole bunch of capac…
How to wall mount heavier tvs
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2020 18:31I'm from the UK and used to masonary walls so wanted to ask before I make a mistake here but B&O tvs are made of proper materials like glass (not plastic) and therefore weight quite a bit more than normal consumer ones, …
BV7 Pop, and then not working
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2020 04:48Mid-program, my BeoVision7 (mk1 or 2, I forget) decided to make a popping/snap sound and cut off. There's still a red dot down the bottom right though. Is this a standard and repairable thing that's worth my time opening…
