BV 10-46 USA with ATSC?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 26, 2014 15:29Hi Barry, Unfortunately, it does not. The only US BeoVisions to have a built in (ATSC) tuner were the BeoSystem 3 based tv's. The BeoSystem 4 based tv's and the BeoVision 8 and 10 have no internal tuners.

Beocord 4500 stopped playing music tapes.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2013 23:17Hi Rolf, I still enjoy using my Beocords too, though it has been a while since I've bought any "new" tapes! :) I'm not sure what is wrong, but my first guess would be the belts. If your BC 4500 has never had new belts pu…

Beomaster 8000 and Beomaster 6500
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 25, 2011 20:03Hope they fix up your 8000 well! Keep us updated. The B&O catalog I have for the BM6500 shows it to be rated at 50 watts per channel, which, when compared to the 8000 is probably pretty realistic. Either way, it's still …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 19, 2011 15:28This is an interesting thread. I bought one of the later 9300's in 2000 (with the matt finish and later CD mechanism), and it was probably my favorite B&O system I've owned. Unfortunately, I've since sold it, but wish I …
