Wiring diagram for TV stand
in The Workbench · Mar 29, 2009 06:25Morning all! I wonder if anyone could please help - my other half's son, bless him, moved the AV9000 the other day - and didn't realise that the wire which connects the TV to the sound unit was still plugged in when he d…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 6, 2008 13:22Or perhaps a RedHat!! :-) Bring back PDB, I've never one anything but I'm pinning all my hopes on him......
Prize draw
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 9, 2008 19:25Hey all... I've been away for a few months, did I miss anything?! :-) Lee, is there any way I can go back and check the last few months prize draws please? You never know... Thanks! Alex
Bang & Olufsen Store rated as Best Independent Retailer 2006-2007
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2007 08:22Well done, Gavin! So when is an STB bracket going to appear as a prize draw item? :-)
Avant and Xbox 360
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 2, 2007 08:10When you say it's a 50Hz model, are you reading that off the ID sticker on the back? If so, that probably refers to the input voltage frequency, not necessarily the screen refresh. I'm no expert, but if it runs the Xbox,…
Problem with the BG6006
in BeoGram · Oct 3, 2007 12:40Hey Sveifors, Ignoring the possiblity of simply a sticky hinge at the end of the pickup arm, or an iffy control servo, have you considered that it may be a dirty or disfunctional "laser eye"? I believe the whole point of…
BeoLab Penta: Front Panel of the amplifier
in The Workbench · Oct 3, 2007 12:30Is that the grey panel or speaker fret you're referring to? I presume it's the plastic panel... if so, you could simply use a little blue-tack! It's hardly a pristine repair but it should hold it... Good luck, Alex.
SHIFT on BEO4 and other remotes
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 3, 2007 12:27Shift on B&O remotes is a lot like Shift on the PC keyboard - it opens up a lot of secondary features. On the Beolink 1000, for example, I found out by chance that Shift+A.Tape will turn on the second Tape input on my Be…
Transporting a BeoVision Avant 32
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 3, 2007 12:00Now that's something I hadn't thought of! I often think I should keep an inflatable bed in the back of the estate, but I don't think anyone'd believe it's for transporting TV's on...!! So is that why your handle's Hoverc…
Light Control
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 3, 2007 11:49How's the development going? I'm in London and have a selection of B&O equipment and remotes, let me know if I can help with the testing!! I'd love to see the prototypes.... :-) Alex
Transporting a BeoVision Avant 32
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 26, 2007 21:41I've transported an Avant 32 over a distance of 60-odd miles in the back of my E-class - the hydraulic suspension will help a bit, and it'll fit with no problems (as long as it's not in its original packaging, I suspect …
New tube for Beovision Avant 28"
in The Workbench · Sept 26, 2007 21:28Many thanks, Marc! Now, where did I put my Sencore 7000? 😕 I'll pass this on to Simon, see if he thinks it's possible and whether he has the tools - if this works this could be a very useful procedure, as you say, there…
New tube for Beovision Avant 28"
in The Workbench · Sept 25, 2007 14:39Perhaps I should look further into the problem... the picture is fine except for the green channel, which appears to be completely out of control - when no image is being displayed the screen has a dark green tinge all o…
New tube for Beovision Avant 28"
in The Workbench · Sept 24, 2007 22:51Morning all... it's ten to four on a Tuesday morning, and I'm at work. This is not right. Ah well.... I may need to look in to the possibility of changing the tube on the Avant; does anyone know where to get one from, or…
Beocenter 8500 that won't respond to remotes!
in The Workbench · Sept 24, 2007 22:35Ahhh. So I did accidentally affect the control modes when I set up the Avant/MPAV, then. Ooops. 😮 Thanks Peter!
MPAV9000 - advice needed
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 24, 2007 22:32I do have full control, but as mentioned above, it doesn't seem possible to get the MPAV menus (eg tuning) to appear on the Avant. Which is a pity. It is simply connected via the Masterlink cable, with the Avant set to O…
Beocenter 8500 that won't respond to remotes!
in The Workbench · Sept 22, 2007 04:55Hi all, Now that I have my MPAV9000 working with the Beovision Avant, all is right with the (beo)world.... except.... Since I set up the MPAV and Avant in the same room as my Beocenter 8500, the 8500 now won't respond to…
Beomaster 5000 very soft sound?
in The Workbench · Sept 22, 2007 04:51Excuse my ignorance, and I appreciate that I am talking to people far more electronically gifted than myself... but could it possibly be a short in the external circuitry (eg either chewed cables, a stray wire strand at …
MPAV9000 - advice needed
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 22, 2007 04:48It works! Itworksitworksitworks. :-)
MPAV9000 - advice needed
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2007 07:22Weeeeeelll.... I will sell it for a reasonable price if it can't be made to work with my Avant or one of the MX's. In the mean time, my MPAV has SW version 1.1, and I have a masterlink cable sitting there idle... so wish…
