LC2 appears to be toast - recommendations for 3rd party equivalents ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 14, 2011 09:45I think this is the trade/retailer site - they don't want to publish prices so that you and I don't see what they actually sell them to the retailers for. Mind you, perhaps we could all club together and become a reselle…
Disgraceful & ebay don't care
in eBay - the right way! · Jun 10, 2011 10:33Have just noticed today (10 June) the same guy has two more sets up also promoted as B&O A8s everywhere but that last line of the small print where he describes them as 'lookie likes'. Have also emailed ebay about them.
Sorry to disappoint but B&O may have best tech but do have the worlds worst people talk, listen designed telephones.

Beocenter 2300
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 29, 2010 12:49Hi, Yes, remove the screw at the centre top of the back of the unit and the small black clamp unit should sit over the hole and you can screw it into place using the screw supplied in the box. I think I'd actually used t…
Apple rips-off B&O?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 27, 2009 05:52What irritates me is when friends are round, take a look at my Beocom 6000s and say 'they pinched that click wheel idea from Apple!'. I then feel obliged to lecture them that the Beocom handset is ten years old and the f…
New Bang and Olufsen Book
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 30, 2009 08:26Hi All Apologies if this is a duplicate post - I dontl have the time to read every posting as I once had! I just came across this forthcoming title listed on Amazon.co.uk and just wondered if anyone knew anything more th…
Bang & Olufsen: Asleep at the wheel?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 30, 2008 08:44Fortunately I saw this too. Better still, my local Electronics Superstore said that so long as I was willing to pay the full asking price for Mr Clock Radio they would take my BeoSound 3 off my hands as part of the deal.…
Looking for a new 500GB external hard drive - Any advice?
in Beo-Mac · Oct 25, 2007 11:49I'd agree - I've three of these drives now, a 250MB USB2, 250MB Firewire & USB and, recently, a 500MB Firewire 800, Firewire 400 and USB 2. I can connect this direct to my iMac and use up the otherwise unconnected fast F…
How do I clean the acoustic lense in Beolab 3?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2007 06:27I'd suggest a soft blower brush of the type used to clean camera lenses. Use only a high grade one; blow the dust first (lightly, not by squeezing hard and then gently brush the remaining dust forwards. If any dust remai…
two way remote outastanding
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 19, 2007 02:41Although I've only seen the movie on the website, I've got to agree. It makes the Beo 5 look clunky and dated (already). Wouldn't it be interesting when the SDK appears if someone can make the Touch compatible with Beo k…
Product Configuration Guide
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 13, 2007 10:26VMWare Fusion should work, as should Bootcamp. I've had success with the former, running Windows XP Professional
B&O and 'bling'
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 21, 2007 03:39At the risk of sounding patronising (and why not?) to this group I would say that B&O is generally too understated to qualify. Take the Cadillac example: it's the copious knobs buttons and chrome that attract that crowd;…
Finally a good Beolab alternative ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 19, 2007 02:36Ah! But in B&O's case they are powered by the magic! ;)
Finally a good Beolab alternative ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2007 11:20What we are overlooking here is the unique feature of these speakers: taking a look at the rear left it appears that, although an active speaker it does not need to be connected to a power source. Or a signal source. Jus…
Register your Warranty
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2007 07:38The keyring and A8s shouldn't be too small. I bought a couple of Beo4 wall brackets and got a separate certificate for each! Pete
DVD2 now on engadget.com
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 23, 2007 10:58The Reader Comments on that engadget page are rather vitriolic and anti B&O. Perhaps we should redress the balance, even if one or two of the comments are valid!

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 18, 2007 08:42Dont' know if this has been picked up on before but the Podcast 'Apple Phone Show' edition 15 (16 August) features a 1 minute review of the bluetooth earset 2. In the one-minute (but it seems longer) review slot it comme…
Beocom 6000 handset doesn't connecting to the base.
in General Discussion & Questions · May 2, 2007 03:23HI, My (very old, first installed in 2000) system of Beocom 6000s also comprises a base (original type) and four handsets. Occasionally one of the phones will give in engaged/busy tone and it proves impossible to reset. …
