B&O going 3D - good or bad idea ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 30, 2011 14:00I have studied 3D vision in the past and the cut out effect is quite common with photographs and there are psychological reasons why it occurs. It is not inevitable but it is more noticeable on some scenes. I think glass…
Beocenter 9000 Volume control
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 30, 2010 16:22Martin, Thanks for your reply I suspected it might be a microprocessor problem but I have no idea how to do a reset. I can't remember seeing anything in the user manual and the service manual is a bit daunting. Is there …
Beocenter 9000 Volume control
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 30, 2010 15:29Could someone suggest where I should look to solve an annoying problem? I can not get the volume to reduce. After switching on the volume is about half position and it can not be reduced. On occasions in the past it has …
Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 11, 2010 15:33I think I can now wind this thread up. The switch was a sticking plunger on the OFF actuator. Cleaning the dirt and dried grease and a bit more lubricant has solved this. The hum was loading of the power supply but with …
Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 8, 2010 04:44I have tested again and found with only one speaker connected all is fine. This is for each channel separately so it looks as if I need to investigate the idle currents. Unfortunately this will have to wait because I hav…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 7, 2010 08:53Yes I did replace it but perhaps I will try a larger value. you are suggesting one twice the capacity of the original. John
Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 7, 2010 06:15Hello Martin, I followed your guidance to get at the pcb. I had not expected the slider plate to be clipped as it was a very strong spring. Once off all was easy and I replaced the connecting lead. On checking there is s…
Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 6, 2010 16:43Can anyone help me with two difficulties I am having with this set? The major one is related to hum. The symptoms are that when switching on there is a very pronounced hum that rapidly dies away to a very low level. Afte…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 21, 2010 15:16Hello Steffen, Thank you for your kind comment. The lights were quite straight forward with Dillen's kit and instructions. The most tricky part I found was the light on the cursor. It seemed as if the end of the flexible…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 7, 2010 03:51Just to wind up the thread, I have put all back together and it sounds excellent. Also the advice I had on the light sub-unit from Dillen worked fine and it all fits quite well. Thanks to everyone John

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 10, 2010 15:24Mika , I just had a careful look at the panel and I am now certain that there should be two fingers on the other end also I think I will be able to fabricate a channel out of resin and filler to bond to the pcb. this wil…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 10, 2010 11:40Thanks Mika, I might just give the pots some cleaner while it is open. I keep finding problems as I go on. The tuning and stereo indicator PCB and lamp holders were adrift when I looked inside so I dont know how they wer…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 9, 2010 15:11Yes that is what I meant. It makes sense but there was no sign of glue. I will cement them in place. Fortunately the tuning scales look fine so I can leave them alone. Thanks for your warning about the sliders they did n…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 9, 2010 13:42I took the easiest first and fixed the pre-sets. When I unclipped the assembly I ffound I could remove them from the pcb one at a time and this made remembering the wiring easy. Your description how to free the slider wo…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 9, 2010 06:01I have found the dial rod seems a bit rusty so I think metal polish and lubricant is needed. None of the dial lights work so I will have to look for something common. I will check them but as none work it may be a simple…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 9, 2010 03:46Mika, It is going well at the moment and am steadily getting the bits back. The tuning capacitor is freeing but I think I will have to re string or at least shorten the string as the drive slips. I have had sound from th…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 8, 2010 10:39Thanks Mika. I persevered assuming the hinges were at the rear as you said. There were some slight distortions and loose woodwork but as you reassured me what should happen, I have now got it standing upright and can sor…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 8, 2010 06:22Can anyone help me? I have just acquired a Beomaster 2000 that has had a rough time. The manual tuning is jammed and I would like to free it. One end wooden trim has come loose and so far I have removed the base cover an…
Back Glass panel on Beocenter 9000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 8, 2010 15:35Thank you both. This is brilliant, I only need to remove one panel so it should all be easy. I now know that I can use the 9500 diagrams if I have any further problems. It is amazing how quickly BeoWorld can help with od…
Back Glass panel on Beocenter 9000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 8, 2010 11:40Steve many thanks. It seems my memory was not inventing things. I can't remember using the 9500 service sheets but that is what I must have done. I don't feel as apprehensive now so can go ahead. Regards John
