Beolab penta 1 connections
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 10, 2021 14:01OK, I've had another look and I can see that the powerlink outputs bypass the channel amplifier cicuits which feed the speakerlink outputs but in listening terms how is this going to affect the sound apart from, presumab…
Beolab penta 1 connections
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 10, 2021 13:39I've been running my Penta 1s from my Beomaster 6500 / 7000 successfully for many years but was always curious/concerned that the speakerlink output is for passive speakers. Obviously the Penta 1s don't have powerlink in…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 2, 2020 21:18Yes, and they have worked for years before the BM6500 went wrong. The remote operates the cassette if it's in TP2 but not in TP1.

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 1, 2020 17:32Having finally got a working BM7000 I've been reluctant to dismantle it again but today I took the plunge and replaced diodes 3 and 4 on the CD and TP1 data circuit, (anyone whose done this know what a pain in the bum it…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 27, 2020 11:04Swopped TP1 and TP2 over and I can no longer operate the Beocord so it looks like the datalink diodes on TP1 and CD as Martin suggested. This may take a while, anyone know the values of D3 and D4 ? Being a complete novic…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 26, 2020 22:44I'm using TP2 for the Tape as I have a Sony minidisc in TP1. I noticed that TP1 and CD datalinks are paired. Not sure if this makes a difference.

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 26, 2020 22:26Progress ! I have replaced the internal battery and this has restored radio presets and amp settings, vol, bal etc. I can also turn it off without loss of remote access. One fault remains, remotes operate everything exce…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 21, 2020 01:22Been using it for the past 5 years with a BM6500 with no problem. I can check inside the plug but it seems unlikely that unplugging it a couple of times would break it, especially a factory fit plug.

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 20, 2020 13:37Stranger and stranger. Despite numerous power on and off yesterday I couldn't get a peep out of the BM7000, with the resulting request for my money back from the auction seller who said it was working, (with no other B&O…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 19, 2020 16:43Well this just goes from bad to worse ! Yesterday I plugged in my recent auction win to find it won't talk to the CD etc. and wouldn't retain any settings but at least I listened to music last night. Today it won't respo…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 18, 2020 09:37So I can carry in using it while waiting for the new battery can you tell me what type I need, then I won't have to take it apart till it's here. Forget it, bit of research and it's a CR2450 !

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 17, 2020 22:05D1, 2, 3 and 4 on board 3 I presume, (I'm working from the service manual), I'll check tomorrow, thanks Martin. It's also not retaining any settings or radio presets, I assume the battery on the microprocessor pcb

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 17, 2020 21:31All plugs in the correct sockets, and playing ok, just can't control them remotely. I have simply replaced a BM6500 with a BM7000 so all din plugs are the same as I have been using for the past 5 years

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 17, 2020 19:33Yes, the BM7000 IS responding to all commands but is clearly not talking to the CD Tape or Phono
Blown Beomaster 6500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 17, 2020 18:00Before you all call me an idiot I've realised the problem is that the BM7000 is not transmitting the instructions to the 6500 equipment. Anyone know if there is any resolution to this problem ? Anyone know if I can swoop…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 17, 2020 17:22I've not been able to fix this yet but I have got hold of a BM7000 and something odd has happened. Having used my beolink 1000 and MCP6500 with it neither will now operate my original 6500 equipment. ????

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 8, 2020 20:48There was until something popped while I was checking !! Now I've got nothing again. Before it popped I found 40v on one channel and nearly 80v on the other. No idea what's gone now, both power supply fuses are fine, I n…

Blown Beomaster 6500
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 8, 2020 12:58I have a very depressing update on this issue. Early on I tested the low voltage rectifier and it didn't fail in that the internal diodes had readings in the correct direction however, the voltage drop to the pos and neg…
