Beosound 9000 CD skipping
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 29, 2012 14:19Maybe blowing a little compressed air at the laser lens will do the trick. Make sure you also clean the little clear tabs at either end of the unit where the glass door opens (the sensors that stop the clamper from movin…
What to buy for older system: Penta III or something else?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2012 21:34I still have my Penta III speakers, and they sound great. I boost the treble just a small bit to make up for the fact that they do lack crisp highs.
Update to Beovision 10-46 vs. jump to 7-55?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 15, 2012 19:59I beg to differ that the BV7-55 is a heavy and clunky-looking TV. It looks weightless on the tall floor stand. I faced a similar dilemma between the 10-46 and the 7-55 for almost six months. In the end, it came down to w…

BeoSound 5 Encore - Airplay in the future?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 23, 2012 13:42Airplay is on the new BeoLit12. Does anyone here think that feature will ever be added to the BeoSound 5 Encore in the next revision?
BeoVision 7-55----Owner experience?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 10, 2012 18:36I should have referred to the effect as "haloing". I have the 3D version, which is the most recent generation of the 7-55. The haloing is noticeable in some dark movies, but hardly an issue under most viewing conditions.
BeoVision 7-55----Owner experience?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 10, 2012 02:46I've had my 7-55 since early August of 2011, and it's been a great TV. Wonderful contrast. The only fault I've seen is in some really dark movies with sparse lighting, you can see a little "cloudiness". This effect is be…
Beolab 6000
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 7, 2012 15:56To remove the old tape marks, you might try using a non-abrasive, liquid car wax on a micro fiber cloth. A small dab is all you should try. This should dissolve the old tape residue without wearing down the clearcoat ove…
Beosound 9000 clamper height adjustment
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2012 18:48Hmm. That's strange. Maybe some kind of adjustment is needed, but I'm not sure why it would only affect numbers 2 and 4. Maybe the spring-loaded CD holders on 2 and 4 are sticking out too far, but I guess a simple adjust…
Beosound 9000 clamper height adjustment
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2012 14:12I have experienced the CD scraping sound as well. I tried an experiement and replaced all of the CDs in the player, and the scraping stopped. My guess is that if you leave the same CDs in the BS 9000 system for an extend…
Blowing out BeoLab 8002
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 2, 2012 22:29I've had a pair of first generation (BeoLab 8000) speakers since 1994. They've never blown or needed any service, and I use them constantly with very loud music and movies.
Best B&O system
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 2, 2012 18:35BeoSound 9000, but if you mean only "stacked" systems, that would be the 7000 system.
BeoVision 7 3D Glasses Compatibility?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2011 18:32I know that I asked this question at one point before, but back then, these televisions were brand-new. Has anyone tried using any "universal" active shutter 3D glasses with a Bang & Olufsen 3D capable TV? I see these gl…
Bad service bad quality
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2011 18:14I, too had many B&O products from the early to mid 90s, including an Avant television. All those products worked well. My Avant never suffered a glitch. Like the other customer, I upgraded to a BV7-55 and sold my trusty …

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 29, 2011 22:35Paolo, that's a great-looking, clean setup! Is your BV10 a 32" or 40"?
Beolab 8000 - possible damage from power surge
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 26, 2011 19:56Make sure you check for the obvious - like the SETUP switch. Make sure it's set to L or R, but not LINE.
Design concepts
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2011 21:12The designs have potential. As many of the Bang & Olufsen designs that make it to production, sometimes they have to grow on us.... like the BeoSound 8 and BeoLab 5.
