Beovision 7 - 40 MK 2 and new Amstrad Sky+ HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2010 04:45 GMT

Thanks for the clarification Malcolm. Mine is also set to Thompson still. I am not sure how you change this setting on a MK II anyway! John

Beovision 7 - 40 MK 2 and new Amstrad Sky+ HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 27, 2010 15:54 GMT

Again guys thanks for the comments. Sky have offered to try and track me down an old Thompson box if nothing else works. Still hoping someone out there knows of a solution to this which means I can keep the new box and g…

Beovision 7 - 40 MK 2 and new Amstrad Sky+ HD box
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 27, 2010 11:47 GMT

Thank you for the quick response. My previous box was a Thompson that worked fine. Sky guy said everything now would be Amstrad. Had a suggestion from a B&O dealership that the Sky Box frequency had to be set at 50 rathe…

Have just had my faulty old sky+HD box replaced with a new Amstrad one. Problem is there is now no picture (or pulsing picture) on the TV when I use the HDMI to DVI converter. Picture is fine through scart connection - b…

Thank you for the replies Simon and Keith. Seems more substantial than I thought!! I will see if he can negotiate down a little. John

BeoComm 6000 pcb
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2010 05:10 GMT

My MK1 6000 has finally gone into permanent "no signal" and will no longer connect to my BeoCom 2 base unit. I fear the solution is a new pcb but am concerned with two things :- Can anyone supply a pcb? My dealer says it…

Mac Mini and BeoPort
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 11, 2010 06:10 GMT

Thanks Phil. All fine now - used my iPod dock as suggested. Realise now that my question was pretty stupid!! Like all semi nerds I spent so much time looking at the options at the back of the box I never looked at the fr…

I have a Mac Mini connected to a BeoPort box to push my iTunes around the house. I control it through remote on my iPhone - all normal so far!! I want to use the speaker connections on the back of the BeoPort box but do …

BeoCom 6000 No Signal Problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2010 06:35 GMT

Keep getting No Signal on my BeoCom 6000. Have done the usual stuff - deregistered, re-registered, put closer to the signal etc. etc. etc. BeoCom 2 and other BeoCom 6000 on the system all work well. Any ideas out there? …

Had problem with sensors before as it is vertically hung so I am careful about keeping it clean. Just cleaned them again but nothing has changed. John

Could be. Just pressed button to open door - opened about half way, red light flashed three times and door shut again by itself. Not looking good. John

9000 (wall hung vertically) happily playing through an Avant in a link room. Suddenly stops playing. Go into other room and see 9000 has switched itself off with clamper still in position 2 - red light still on at positi…

Beosound 3000 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2008 14:02 GMT

Problem seems to be catching!! I "solved" the problem but do not really understand how - did it under the influence of red wine. As I recall there seem to be two phases. Firstly I pressed "sound" "0" "store" (I think) on…

Beosound 3000 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2007 04:19 GMT

Back at home. 3000 still not responding to remote even after taking advice above. Remote works fine with everything else. Buttons now working but I do not know why!! Happened after I reset the date. Any more bright ideas…

Beosound 3000 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 26, 2007 05:15 GMT

Am away at moment but will try when I get back. Not sure why it has suddenly stopped responding to the remote - and particularly why I cannot use the buttons - but I do have a Beo5 that seems to send random ir's around t…

Beosound 3000 problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2007 05:14 GMT

My standalone 3000 has suddenly become unresponsive to the Beo 4 and also only works manually on the functions (cd, radio, load etc.) Cannot change volume and the sound button shows "Use TV". Thought that somehow the opt…

I have a Beosound 9000 hung vertically. When using my new Beo 5 remote on the Select Disc option the 9000 stopped playing its current disc but did not move to the selected one. After a few minutes the 9000 switched itsel…

BEO5 configuration software

Thanks for the tip. The dealer is a good guy and wants to do a good job - he is probably as frustrated as I am!! I will probably work with him to sort it out for a little while longer J
