Connecting Pentas with Speakerlink
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 3, 2010 08:46Yes, I switched both panels to Auto and turned on the system. Both of the Pentas were green until I went from standby to playing a CD. At that point, one went red, and the other remained green and played. I have the Inpu…

Parting out Pentas?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2010 11:40Thanks for your reply, Mika. Just this morning I found some reasonably priced Penta woofers on U.S. ebay that I have purchased. So, I will fix the Pentas up and sell them as-is. I really did hate the thought of having to…

Penta bass drivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2010 22:46Hello all, I just purchased a full Beosystem 6500 that included a pair of Beolab Pentas that need some work. On one speaker, two of the lower bass drivers are shot. I think the voice coils are damaged. I called a B&O Ser…

M100 bass driver
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 20, 2010 10:04Listening to the buzzing, it really sounds as though it is coming from the driver itself. I made sure that there were no wires or anything near the driver that could cause vibration within the cabinet when I reinstalled …

Beogram CD 50
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2010 19:02I just installed a new 9V battery into my CD terminal just for the heck of it and aimed it at my CD 50. Lo and behold, it responded! So as it turns out, I do have the optional infra red sensor in my CD 50 after all! I di…
M100 bass driver
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2010 18:16Recently, I had the two mid bass drivers refoamed on my Beovox M100s. One came back with both copper wires attached to the cone broken. Luckily I was able to save this one by carefully soldering the wire ends together. H…
Beolab Penta
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2010 11:33Pentas are great speakers. As the others said, watch out for possible amp problems and foam rot, especially if they are the Mk I or even Mk II. It seems that most if not all Pentas Is that I have seen (on ebay) have had …
Beogram CD 50
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2010 09:58Okay. I removed the cover and inspected the area behind the window. I am thinking it doesn't have the sensor. There is one brown wire connected to a circuit board, but I am not sure if it goes to the display or to an inf…
Beogram CD 50
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 17, 2010 22:46Yes the green light flashes when a button is depressed and I determined that the remote is sending out infra red signals with my digital camera. However, I am trying to determine whether or not my CD 50 contains the opti…

Beocenter 9000 lights out
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2009 12:30Hey guys, I've got a Beocenter 9000 that up until now worked fine. A few days ago, I noticed that the "AUX" "CD" and the "2" in "TAPE 2" lights were dim. Then, yesterday, all three of these lights went out completely. Wh…

age of members
in General Discussion & Questions · May 8, 2009 11:43I'm 20. Interesting age distribution; I would have guessed the average age being somewhere in the forties. Maybe the younger beoworlders are just more prone to adding to this thread! Aaron
