PC to BV7-40
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 27, 2012 17:20(Searched but didn't find. Apologies if repeat.) I want to connect my PC to my BV7-40 via HDMI. I have 2 monitors attached to the PC (both 1920x1200). Will I need to set up the TV as a 3rd monitor? What I really want to …
Beocom 6000
in eBay - the right way! · Jan 2, 2011 11:57Probably older than 4 years as they are version 1. Bases look compatible though - 1st is the controller base, 2nd is wall-mounted charger, 3rd is table-top charger.

Annoying word of 2010
in LifeStyle Discussion · Dec 30, 2010 13:05"Iconic" Everything has to be iconic (in UK). I cannot imagine how things like sound or an event can be iconic, but they apparently can be.
So.. why do you buy Bang & Olufsen?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2010 07:03In my teens and early twenties, I was attracted to B&O by the visual design - always looking "modern" - but of course couldn't afford it. Eventually, in the 70s, I got a (still gorgeous) BeoVision 3500 and a "music centr…
Beocom 5 and Beocom 6000 MK1 compatible at all?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 17, 2010 05:08That sounds like good news if true. It's also new news, as B&O's official line earlier this year contradicted this, as did my experience. So, how does one establish what release of software is in one's base, and how does…
Beocom 5 and Beocom 6000 MK1 compatible at all?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2010 15:59The PSTN base is not the same as the original pyramid base - it came later. When I was trying to mix BC5 with BC6000/1s, the BC5 would not talk to the original pyramid. When we tried a PSTN, the engineer couldn't get the…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 16, 2010 07:08Get your dealer to call you via the speaker. If you can understand ANYTHING he says, then it might have improved.
Beocom 5 quality in general
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2010 09:23Actually, you got it right both times - the Beocom5 phone itself is poor, and the speaker is much worse. The 6000 is wonderful - my 10+ year old 6000s are and always have been working perfectly. The 2 looks very smart in…
Beocom 5 quality in general
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 12, 2010 16:13Beocom5 is particularly dreadful. The speaker base just DOES NOT WORK (as you describe). It is impossible to hold a conversation through the speakerphone. This was SUPPOSED to be solved with the new release of software, …
Beocom6000 - No Signal
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 6, 2010 18:53Not clear whether it is the handset that you have unplugged or the base unit (BeolinePSTN or whatever). Try unplugging the base unit and replugging it - this "robooting" may just kick it back into action. It could be tha…
BeoCom 5 vs BeoCom 6000
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 5, 2010 17:58The chart I saw shows that the Mark I is not compatible with Beoline2. Moreover, having been assured that the chart was wrong, I was sold a BeoLine2. The chart is right - it does not work - and the Beoline2 went back. Be…
BeoCom 5 vs BeoCom 6000
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 5, 2010 13:33Beocom6000 Mk1 handsets are NOT compatible with Beoline2. The PSTN base is the only one deemed to be compatible with both Beocom6000/1 and Beocom5. The PSTN base is discontinued, though second-hand ones appear occasional…

BeoCom 5 vs BeoCom 6000
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2010 14:09The aim was to have it as the main phone (with speaker). It sits in the lounge. But since the speaker doesn't work it isn't first choice. In fact, the Beocom5 doesn't start ringing or showing the caller id until 10 secon…
BeoCom 5 vs BeoCom 6000
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2010 13:43I got my Beocom5 because I wanted a speaker phone on the same system as my 6000s. But the speaker base (in the UK) currently just doesn't work - the person at the other end can't hear you due to breakup - theoretically i…
BeoCom 5 sound problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 20, 2010 14:01Yes - my Beocom5 and speaker-base are sitting looking pretty and absolutely useless. I bought a Beoline2, having been assured in writing that my Mk1 Beocom 6000s would be compatible with it (which they aren't), so it is …

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2010 19:03"No dial tone" comes on whenever you pick it up. The speakerphone sounds nice... to me... but... the person at the other end can't hear a thing, as the sound breaks up. It usually tells you who is calling, but occasional…
