Thank you I will try it. I have already experimented but I realise I need another mouse and keyboard before I can use both. I don't think you can use a single mouse and keyboard to work both computers.

Cannot access digital Radio
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 24, 2021 09:39 GMT

Yes it worked until I connected the Beosound 9000 and all stations are tuned correctly. I think the problem was that there were two radios: one in the Beosound 9000 and one in the Beocentre 2. I think I had to disconnect…

I thought someone may have some knowledge of this machine but I guess it is too old for those in this forum to be familiar with. I guess a repairman may be the answer. paddy2042

What has happened to Australian showrooms
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 13, 2018 08:47 GMT

I guess what worries me the most is sacked staff. There were several very knowledgeable people working in B&O and I am guessing their expertise is not valued by the company and they will have to get other jobs. This is n…

Should I buy a BeoLab 19 subwoofer?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 5, 2017 19:01 GMT

I will continue to try different settings. I find it amazing that B&O don't seem to have any interest in sound. There is almost no information from B&O on the details of the setup. There are plenty of details on subs in …
