Optical input to powerlink converter, need some advice on power link [solved..?]
in The Workbench · Feb 5, 2011 08:19Ok, so I connected pin 1 (power link mk2 'Speaker On') to pin 4, and it suddenly works. Is there any good reason why I shouldn't do this? 🤔 I don't really like taking two separate wires and twisting them together like t…
Optical input to powerlink converter, need some advice on power link [solved..?]

in Nordic · Jul 22, 2009 12:31Jeg vurderer å selge mitt beocenter 9500 med beolink 5000, da det bare står og støver ned hjemme hos mine foreldre. CD-spilleren er overhalt slik at den leser cd-r uten problemer. Fjernkontrollen ser ut som den nettopp h…
URGENT! Do B&O Make Good Pens?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 14, 2008 10:03A14BEO: I think the real issue here is why he bought an R32?!? 😂 :D Yes, here in Norway the price difference between the R32 and a slightly used 911 turbo is not that big. :P The R32 is about 100 000 USD.

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 14, 2008 05:13Excuse me, but... What?! Are cars supposed to come with pens? My BMW sure didn't come with any pens. :-(

Penta High- End - a great project!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2008 15:22Thanks. I wasn't trying to criticize you in any way, I just wanted to make sure that this was really worth it before trying to pull the grilles of again. Nearly destroyed them before giving up the last time! :p
Penta High- End - a great project!
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2008 14:49Hi Bulgarien, Thanks for all the pictures! Really nice. Do you really think that soldering all the connections is well worth the hassle? It is a lot of work disassembling the speakers, and I am afraid that I'm going to d…
Simple question....
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 3, 2008 13:52Congratulations on your new system! I have the exact same, and it is great! To connect ordinary passive speakers to it you need a special connector/cable called speakerlink described in the beginning of this page: http:/…
Beovox Penta recap
in The Workbench · Nov 1, 2008 20:01Mmm. I like the looks of the capacitors for the crossovers. How much difference does audiophile caps like these do compared to normal (ie the ones I bought from you before this kit was ready 😕 )?
Beolink 5000 - No contact
in The Workbench · Nov 1, 2008 19:52I just bought a nice looking beolink 5000 to control my bc9500. However it has one fault, it does not work in two way mode. I've searched the forums and found that some other people have had similar problems. Specificall…

Beovision Avant 28" can not be turned on from stand-by mode
in The Workbench · Oct 16, 2008 13:05I had a problem with my avant never getting to standby mode at all, no red light. After resoldering the large transformers on the "main circuit"(?) the set started up nicely, and has never complained since.
MX4000 Bent graphics
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 16, 2008 12:56I'm shooting from the hip with this, but I remember to have read that a weak power supply will expand the picture when it is very bright. Martin (Die_bogener) is the expert here, but I would think it has to do with old c…

Pfeifen Beocenter 9000
in Deutsche · Aug 6, 2008 18:56Hi, It is very easy to open the beocenter. Just unscrew all the screws in the back that have an arrow pointing at them, and three in the front. With these gone, you can carefully tilt the whole top section of the beocent…

Beocenter 9000 MUTE RELAY??
in The Workbench · Aug 6, 2008 18:04I had to solder mine out and pry it open with a screwdriver. Very fiddly job. The plastic has become very brittle with age, but if you crack it, you could always just tape it back together or just buy a new relay. I beli…
