My BV10-40 freezes occasionally
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 28, 2011 17:40[quote user="bayerische"] Another intermittent problem I'm having is that the TV starts up without picture, then a shutdown and re-start is required, always sorts the problem. [/quote] I've also experienced this! Althoug…
LC2 appears to be toast - recommendations for 3rd party equivalents ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 15, 2011 21:06I tried a product called Innovus RAOne Smartdimmer. It works just like a LC2, responding to Beolink 1000, Beo4 etc. Only thing is it emits a soft, high-pitched whine when on. Only available in 240V. Leo
My BV10-40 freezes occasionally
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 15, 2011 20:57Sorry to be late to the discussion but this happened to my BV10-40 twice. Both were within a few days of each other sometime in May. It has not happened since. I don't know how to check the firmware number but it was fro…
The one that got away..
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 15, 2011 20:48Extremely cool and futuristic. I assume it could have run off batteries? Would have been a great complement to the Beosound 3! Leo
Floor stands for cx speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2011 16:39I bought these all-metal stands at a local hi-fi store. Nothing fancy, but it has holes for cable management, and spikes. Leo
I'm angry and upset and its not even mine!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 12, 2011 16:28True that human beings gravitate to the latest and greatest, to whatever's in fashion at a certain period in time. Flat screens are not popular just due to "fashion", they're also more practical (lighter and taking up le…
How to use an LC1 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 14, 2011 23:23Thanks Lausvi. The SmartDimmers are a good alternative, and much cheaper. The only other things I'd need are some upconverters and 240V bulbs. I think I'll get some! Leo
How to use an LC1 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 13, 2011 16:37Hi, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but today one of my two LC1's developed the same fault! Ie., it responds on-off to touch, but nothing from the remote. Lausvi (if you're still around), any suggestions? Or anyone? Th…
Peoples obsession with the latest and greatest
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2011 00:03Regarding having Full-HD on smaller screens, for some people that can really be useful. I often hook up my laptop to my TV's and run them either in dual-monitor mode or single-monitor mode. The BV10-40 is great as its 19…
Beosound Century question (and link to stupid review for a laugh!)
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 1, 2011 02:03It certainly puts out a very big sound considering its modest power output! (BeoSound 2000 is what they call the Century in the USA) Re. the stupid review: What a joke, a "Top 27 reviewer"... I'm sorry for all the people…
Cx50/100 as rear speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2011 13:10It would be a good set-up assuming you're not a hard-core surround speaker person! Recently I installed a pair of CX-100's to fill the rear-speaker role of a home-theater system consisting of BeoLab 9's in the front, and…
Loudspeaker "pop" when changing channel in cable box
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 21, 2011 11:13I hear a "pop" too, but my situation is different from yours. My cable box (Pace RNG 110) is connected to my BV10-40 with HDMI only, and when I used to have only front speakers (BL 9) connected, would not hear a "pop" wh…
Well, look what we have here !!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 17, 2011 20:18Are these prize drawings open to overseas gold members? Has anyone from the US won? Recalling off-hand, it seems that most past winners have been in the UK, with some on the continent. 🙂 Leo
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2010 11:36Does anyone know if the BS8 fades out when the power is turned off, and fades in when turned on? At least that would give it a little B&O credibility. The BV8-32, embarrassingly, doesn't have the electronic curtains. Wis…
Blu Ray for Bang & Olufsen?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2010 06:50A B&O standalone Blu-ray player would be awesome. I'm using a PlayStation 3 configured with Beo4 remote control, which is nicely integrated all-and-all, but nothing would beat having B&O for the whole disc-to-display cha…
BeoVision 7-55 or BeoVision 10-46? That is the question...
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2010 05:12Saw a BV10-32 on its floor stand the other day - it's the most adorable TV! Kind of like a big-faced little robot... Leo
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 21, 2010 06:17Many people seem to be dissing the BS8 solely based on the "Made in China" bit of the equation. How many have actually seen a BS8 in person, and felt it and touched it? I had the "pleasure" to do so yesterday (and today …
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2010 19:04[quote user="BeoFab"] I don't understand. This way of thinking might be true 15 years ago but now Made in China is not neccesarily bad quality. [/quote] [quote user="Doctor"] The site of assembly does not give any true i…
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2010 13:09I had the chance to play with a BS8 in a store today, and was disappointed by its quality. The remote control is lightweight and plasticky (although I like the "UFO"-inspired design). The LED's surrounding the control pa…
Beo 6
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 16, 2010 09:26Will this Beo6 come with programming software freely available to the consumer? Having grown up in a digital society, I like to program the settings myself and tweak them to my delight. From what I've heard, the Beo5 nee…
