Free for spares or repair - Beocenter 6-26 and Beocenter 2200
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 17, 2021 00:03Please delete this if not appropriate. I have some old non-working B&O equipment that may be of interest to someone either as a repair project or for spare parts. Beocenter 6-26 - On power up the green light comes on, fl…
iPlayer changes for Freesat users
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2016 13:25HI Chris, I saw your separate post about your control problems with the HDR110s. Have you resolved them? And if you did, perhaps you could share which PUC set you are using? I may also go this route but don't want to los…
iPlayer changes for Freesat users
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2016 16:35Viewing iPlayer on my Humax Foxsat HDR last night and got the message that the service will no longer be available on that device from September. Seems BBC is no longer supporting a variety of older Freesat boxes and a f…

STB Signal too late for Beovision 6
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 11, 2015 09:16I have a BC6 connected to a Humax Freesat box using an IR-Blaster. That also has a pretty slow start up but presents no problem via the SCART connection. I'm puzzled your TV goes back to standby as on mine it will hold t…

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 25, 2014 23:40Hi there, Anyone one out there know if the Humax HDR-1000S Freesat STB is controllable using PUC. I know there are codes for many of the older units but just wondered if this later model has been added or if one of the e…
Form 2i in Which?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2014 18:57My 23-year old son has a pair - chose them himself with no pressure from me! They seem OK with a very natural sound. He wears them all day when he's working - at a desk - and says they are very comfortable. Not so good i…
Apple TV3 and BC6-26
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2014 00:16Anyone out there know if it's possible to connect an ATV3 to a BC6. It's an HD TV but has no HDMI only DVI and Component. HDFury2 looks like it might allow connection to Component but info on their website seems a bit va…
Beosound 3200 and AirPlay
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2014 21:32Hey Beogreg, I think you may have had a problem with your AE set up. I use mine on three different systems and volume is the same as other inputs whether I stream from my PC, Mac, iPhone or iPad (usually use iTunes on Ma…
Beosound 3200 and AirPlay
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 1, 2014 21:42I've no experience of using a separate DAC but I do have three Airport Express devices streaming to different B&O systems with BL8000 and old RL speakers. Audio quality seems fine to me. The Airports are also simple to s…
Beovision 6 22 and which humax freeview box which will allow beo4 use?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 21, 2013 13:02Hi Jonnie, Not sure but I think you misunderstand the way the control works. The Beo4 will not control the box - it controls the TV which sends the command using the IR lead to the IR sensor on the box. You tell the TV w…
Cool product sites..

Playmaker VS Airport Express
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2013 13:44Hi Harry, I think you made a wise decision to select on how you want to integrate your system rather than supposed differences in sound quality. Playmaker and AE are similar in what they do but each has some unique funct…

No sound on beoCentre 6-23
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2013 15:54May sound obvious, but have you tried powering it off? My BC6-26 used to lose sound in DTV mode now and again and powering off and back on used to fix it (I mean powering off at the wall socket). Has never done it since …
Beovision 6 and Numax
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 9, 2013 21:33Not sure I can answer your question in full but no-one else has chipped in so here goes. I think you mean a Humax Freesat. I use one of the older Humax HDR units with a BC6 26 and have had the TV's internal PUC updated. …
What could make new customers start buying Bang & Olufsen/B&O Play products?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 9, 2013 10:06You said it all with your comments on media hubs .You can do al this with products already on the market so it would be pointless for B&O to go that route. They need to focus on good looking and decent performing product…

What could make new customers start buying Bang & Olufsen/B&O Play products?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2013 11:42Actually, BMW do make cars in China - they have aa number of joint ventures there. I believe the X5 is made in the USA. Does that make it less of a BMW. Do you know BMW even has a design studio in California? Open your e…
