Tangential (TX, 5500, 6500, 7000) BeoGram gear reset
in BeoGram · Dec 26, 2020 17:32In adjusting the setdown position for my BeoGram 6500, I believe I’ve gotten the pickup arm gears at the top of the camwheel in a confused state. I’ve followed the directions to “make the pickup arm transport manually” o…
"DAGSKO" marking on BeoLink 1000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 19, 2020 03:27I have an older (Mark II) BeoLink 1000 which I'm cleaning and repairing. I found a label reading "DAGSKO 284" underneath the 4.7uF capacitor and am curious if anyone knows what it might mean? (Besides the obvious 'day sh…
How to set PlayMaker to fixed volume output for use with an audio system
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 14, 2019 07:01Thread resurrection, etc. (Who can still be using a PlayMaker in 2019?!) Seems like there are a few advantages and disadvantages to each method. Let's assume the use of 1990s equipment such as an Ouverture or 9000. If I …
Another US Closing...
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 3, 2017 21:17Just a quick note on this -- large cities in the States have had dedicated stores going back to at least the 1980s (Chicago, San Francisco, NYC). It would be worth trying to come up with a history of the company's sudden…

What's the latest Beolit 12 software
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 30, 2016 18:15Thanks for that detailed info, Keith. What's odd is that my 12 shows 1.02.12 as the version on both the Status and the Update Product Softare page, but with a date of 2012-03-26 for that version. Updating doesn't seem to…
HP new design and modular PCs with Bang & Olufsen 2016 "elite slice" and "pavilion wave"
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 1, 2016 17:33Has anyone figured out the logic of when HP uses "BeoPlay" and when they use "Bang & Olufsen?" There is even inconsistency between the "B&O" logo versus the name written out, although that could be chalked up to differen…

Ouverture / 2300 / 2500 / 4000 etc rail lubrication
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 12, 2016 23:13Right, so when doing maintenance on one of the "sliding glass door" models, what's the best kind of lubricant to put on the rails after cleaning off the gunk and dust? I've heard silicon spray lubricant, but wanted to ch…
Finally bought an A3
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 16, 2016 01:29Update: tried with a 3rd-generation iPad, running iOS 9. Good news: BeoSetup app launches, and knows its connected to an A3. Bad news: Firmware update (mine is still on 1.0.0.0) fails to contact the server. My guess is t…
Finally bought an A3
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2016 23:56Right, so first problem discovered: BeoSetup 3.8.5 won't launch on iOS 5.1.1, the last version of the OS that works on the original iPad. Since BeoSetup 3.8.5 dates to September 2015, I'm guessing it's a case of that app…
Finally bought an A3
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2016 23:56Now that these are showing up in the remaindered channel for ~US$100 or lower, I rather suspect more of us will use them to breath new life into older iPads. Certainly quite a change from the original price! Elephant's o…

Music shown with 1983 Beosystem 2000
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 26, 2012 22:04Upon further inspection, I now think it reads "Contemporary Danish Piano Music Played By The [...]", which would make sense given the B&O context...
Music shown with 1983 Beosystem 2000
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 26, 2012 22:02Here's a question about the record shown in promotional photography taken of the circa-1983 BeoMaster 2000 etc: can anyone identify the album/artist? The photo is below, including the best close-up of the album cover pos…
