What's playing RIGHT NOW?
in Music & Film · May 9, 2010 16:16Right now, wobbling the SMMC4 on my BG2000: The Blues Brothers OST which I found in my dad's garage along with two crates full of 12" vinyl.
B&O in movies
in Music & Film · May 9, 2010 16:13I've got a new favorite: A Beocom (possibly older series) on board the TARDIS as the ship's phone.
Project: Beolink / AUX multiplexer
in The Workbench · Mar 21, 2010 21:18[quote user="Die_Bogener"] It's much easier to build than you think. Use a 4052 multiplexer for selecting the input channels. You can control the inputs by a switch or by a programmed Atmel Microcontroller. Use caps 1-10…
All of those Beocords wasted...
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2010 21:07[quote user="jldmelb"] Anyway, just an idea. [/quote] You just gave my salvaged Beocord 2000 casing a new meaning in its life. The gap which accepts the cassette tape is almost as big as a standard iPod dock, drop in the…
What is stopping you buying B&O?...
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2010 18:48[quote user="Peter "] 4. I am sure this is what the revised Masterlink will offer. Along with 1 and 3 - but not 2 I am afraid! [/quote] I'm a bit sceptical about a central media server -- it's something the entertainment…
Beomaster 2000 recap - What do I need?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 14, 2010 05:07[quote user="Dillen"] I always considered them fairly reliable but I've seen a couple of dead TCA4500's recently. Why not just replace the chip and see if that cures the poor thing ? [/quote] Well, the internal oscillato…
Beosystem 2500 Technical Problem
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 14, 2010 03:20[quote user="mediabobny"] Beocenter 9000 wasn't equipped with 2-way communication. Only the 9500 had it. [/quote] Still, something is still interfering with the Beosound's way of operating, and since the problems started…
Beosystem 2500 Technical Problem
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 13, 2010 21:12[quote user="danthecomb"] As a footnote, the system was fine until I purchased an old B & O centre 9000 and installed that in the same room !! It went a bit haywire shortly after but had been fine up to then. [/quote] Th…
Beovox S45-2 - How I almost loved them to death, but got them back to live better than before
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 13, 2010 21:04[quote user="Claus"] Measuring the low frequencies is difficult due to room resonances (and I don’t have access to a sound-dead one…). I’ve made a near field measurement of the woofer – but no important difference is vis…
Beomaster 2000 recap - What do I need?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 13, 2010 20:43OK, little update on the tuner fix-attempt: I took the whole unit apart today and decided to start some trouble-hunting. More to the point, I needed to get the stand-by button fixed anyway, so I figured it would be a goo…
Very familiar with B & O family but never owned. Need advice on best Beomaster.
in North America · Mar 13, 2010 20:17I think the eventual choice is up to your own taste. The flat systems (Beosystem 2000 and up) have very distinctive design, and the older systems are quite common. The Beomaster 2000/3000 is quite easy to get for a fair …
Beocenter 9000
in The Workbench · Mar 11, 2010 06:40[quote user="Sami"] Any ideas? [/quote] Have you tried cleaning the optics? They may have dusted up a bit when you're tinkering around in the unit.
Project: Beolink / AUX multiplexer
in The Workbench · Mar 10, 2010 18:34I've been working on this project for about a week now, here's the deal: Lots of Beomasters and Beocenters only have one available TAPE input. On some systems, there's actually no additional input available, or it's buil…
Flash your B&O!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2010 18:15[quote user="Ville Laustela"] I suppose it's only for the symmetry, the speaker elements being furthest away from each other. In my setup the speakers are anyway just less than a meter away from each other so it doesn't …
Flash your B&O!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 8, 2010 19:32[quote user="evman140"] I'm really admiring this! You're complete 4500 is flawless! A great combination of system and speakers 🤒 [/quote] I guess that'll be a pain to polish! Are the Labs going to be on the wall anytime…
Decoding Datalink
in The Workbench · Mar 8, 2010 19:21[quote user="tournedos"] Hi Stoney3K, just wanted to thank you for posting your findings - only now had time to read them properly. Do you intend to publish the codes, or make me find them out myself? 😁 (I don't blame y…
Decoding Datalink
in The Workbench · Feb 27, 2010 16:47Time to give this thread an update... The (Win)LIRC trick only works for systems equipped with a remote from Beolink 1000 up, since that's the point B&O introduced a new, multiroom-capable, Datalink format as outlined in…
Beomaster 2000 recap - What do I need?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 23, 2010 16:22[quote user="Dillen"] So, basically, what you want is a list of which components you need to replace, how to do it and with what, which instruments to use and what adjustments to make to repair this Beomaster that was st…
Beomaster 2000 recap - What do I need?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 23, 2010 14:29I'm getting ready to give my BM2000 (291x) a good cleaning, and replace some worn capacitors in the process. Now, the question is, which capactors really need replacing for such an old unit (1983), and, what are their va…
Flash your B&O!
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 19, 2010 09:18[quote user="evman140"] Well if it isn't around there will always be another! [/quote] We also have the photo album, but you need to be a Silver/Gold member and ask the administrator if you want to post a photo. Probably…
