MCL local input
in General Discussion & Questions · May 23, 2008 04:10Hi Is there any way to 'fool' a MCL2AV unit into thinking there is a datalink product attached? I want to connect a non-B&O tuner to the MCL2AV and be able to select 'Tape', Aux or CD from a BL7000 and have the input ope…
MCL2AV diagram?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 22, 2008 21:04Hi Does anybody have a schematic diagram for the MCL2AV? I just received a used one which does not work - no 12v or 5v at the regulators, and the 12v one gets very hot...
Beo4 MkIII and Phono?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 15, 2008 18:51Thanks, got it. Shame they dropped Phono off the List..
Beo4 MkIII and Phono?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 15, 2008 04:18Hi Beoworlders, Is there any way to operate a Phono with the Beo4 MkIII? I'm using with BC9500 and BG9500...? Steve
BC9500 2way IR audio interference
in General Discussion & Questions · May 8, 2008 05:01Hi Keith, They are homemade from microphone cable - 4 core + shield. This may sound strange, but you may recall I was having problems with the Penta 'mixing' the channels, so I made these cables to carry only one audio s…
BC9500 2way IR audio interference
in General Discussion & Questions · May 8, 2008 03:28OK, just had another look and tried what you have suggested - I first listened on the passives in the MCL linked room - the hum was present at zero volume even with the Pentas in the main room muted. I then disconnected …
Cona and BL Pentas
in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2008 20:51Thanks for that Peter, The Pentas do sound great by themselves, and I wouldn't really want to filter them through the Cona. What I had in mind was lowering the frequency range of the Cona by changing the crossover compon…
BC9500 2way IR audio interference
in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2008 19:16Yes, I think it has always been present - audible from both speakers, particularly when playing a CD loud...
Cona and BL Pentas
in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2008 09:57Not sure whether anyone else has tried this setup - before I caught the B&O bug I loved my B&W DM220 passives. I bought my BC9500 and it had the B&O contagen so off I went and bought a Cona. I liked it. I have a thing fo…
BC9500 2way IR audio interference
in General Discussion & Questions · May 7, 2008 07:49Hi Beoworlders Has anyone noticed and 'fixed' the IR interference I notice on my Beocenter 9500 when it sends a two-way IR signal? It is like this short buzz or hum and it seems only to be audible on the send cycle of th…
Penta Pop
in General Discussion & Questions · May 1, 2008 05:58Hi Keith & other Penta people, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I have finally fixed all issues with the Pentas. New PCB22 arrived today and I fitted it - display now works and the "Penta pop" is gone! Now just wa…
Penta Pop
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2008 03:29Keith, The problem with the display is that it does not light up at all - nothing. When I swapped the PCB22 with the other one the display issue followed the board, so I guess it is the board which is faulty. I have orde…
Penta Pop
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 24, 2008 19:56Thanks Keith for your (yet another) comprehensive answer! Situation 2 sounds similar to what's happening with my system - except I am using a Beocenter 9500. It is interesting that PCB22 in the popping penta also has a f…
Penta Pop
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 23, 2008 04:54All, I have seen mention on the forum of a 'fix' for the power-down 'pop' or thump. Can someone tell me what that fix involves? I can't actually seem to find the thread where it is explained... I'm certain these particul…
Penta III display probs
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 19, 2008 18:48Thanks for your answer, but I am confused - according to my diagram and component lists, there is no 470uF cap on PCB 22... The display boards themselves work fine with the 'good' amp unit connected. I swapped PCB 22 in …
Penta III display probs
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 19, 2008 07:54Hi, more Penta issues to share beyond my Beolab amp probelm which turned uot to be a diode... http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/105509.aspx Now one display has stopped working and I have isolated it to PCB22, the o…
More Penta III issues
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 19, 2008 07:40Keith and others, After replacing a number of capacitors and having no joy I measured some voltages again around the PCB1. I noticed that the voltage was low around TR3, so I desoldered it and to my amazement the amp cam…
More Penta III issues
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2008 20:15Thanks Keith, Your descrition of the switching IC is useful. I have sourced one of these ICs for 90 cents and along with more capacitors I will persevere with replacing components. It's a bit unscientific, but hopefully …
Beolab Penta 3 dead
in The Workbench · Apr 14, 2008 03:04Hi all, I have posted questions related to this issue in the General Forum, but I guess this is the more appropriate forum for things B&O which have died... I have now spend hours working on this Penta III amp unit and h…
More Penta III issues
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 13, 2008 18:38Thanks Keith, the question I have is should the mode switch, when set to Left, only process the left signal - because what appears to be happening is that regardless of whether the switch is set to left or right, the sam…
