Beosound Ouverture not detecting CD
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 28, 2014 22:16Thanks Martin, that's just what i was hoping to hear. I prefer to be able to treat the cause before replacing parts. Looking forward to completing repairs.
Beosound Ouverture not detecting CD
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 25, 2014 23:31Hi, I just started working on Beosound Ouverture's this month. As it's not a model I used to support, I would appreciate any suggestions. This one that's come in, doesn't detect CDs. It will spin slightly, and that's all…

Beocenter 1 crackling noise when changing sources
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2014 13:49Hi Kai, this sounds like a very simple problem with the Amplifier board. It could be most likely failing caps, but check the power supply board anyway, as most problems do filter through as a crackle on the sound. Dry jo…
Beocenter 1 crackling noise when changing sources
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2014 19:54This sounds like build up of dirt on the power supply board. Do you get a picture on the TV or is it just going to standby. If I remember correctly, BC1 is a CRT, these have a protection circuit that will kick in eventua…
Beovision MX - power supply and deflection
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 19, 2014 14:53Having recently repaired the deflection circuits on my MX4000, the TV fails to start up, so far I have replaced the deflection ICs on PCB4 (power supply and deflection) and PCB11 (CRT) as well as replacing caps on the po…
Beomaster 1700 rebuild - availability of parts
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 19, 2014 12:53Hi Colin, thanks for your message. To be honest, the rebuild hasn't gone as well as planned. Replacement rubbers was the easy part, I have used generic wide rubber belt which fit the dimensions of the original. The tract…
The BeoSound Essence listed
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2014 23:58I like the look of the beo essence control, but fail to see the point of it. It's just another remote control? If I have beo app on my phone, tablet and a remote, the rest seems pointless. I was hoping for a little more …
ARRRGGGG!!! B&O is so frustrating!
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 15, 2014 23:49True, there is a fine line between whether an older B&O is worth repairing and the cost to actually do so. I have found that in quite a few cases, it has been more viable to not carry out a repair, but to salvage for spa…
DVD1 module repair
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 6, 2014 16:50Has anyone noticed the same issues that keep appearing on the DVD1 MK1? Aside from the philips mechanism failing after a while (I'm sure I can replace laser modules with my eyes closed now) the other main issue affecting…
ARRRGGGG!!! B&O is so frustrating!
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 6, 2014 16:39I do partially agree with you, demand is very limited for older products, but B&O are proud of the long lifetime of their products. I must admit that I have had both success and failures from some dealers. A few years ag…
Beovision parts
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 21, 2014 19:29Thanks for your answer, it wasn't until after posting that I realised there was a more updated service manual. I have 2 beovisions in at the moment. My old MX4000 which is unwell, deflection and power supply failure; and…
Beovision parts
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 20, 2014 23:53Does anyone have a list of semiconductors and components for the PCBs on the beovision MX4000? I noticed that there isn't a list in the schematics.
Beovision MX4000 repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 8, 2014 21:16Unfortunately, my Beovision MX4000 has decided to misbehave, is there anyone local to Cornwall who can have a look at this? My nearest B&O centre is Exeter which is quite a distance away. Problem is that the beovision is…
Beocord VHS Video parts
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 8, 2014 20:29I think these parts are interchangeable. The turbodrive repair kit contains exactly what I need to get this machine loading again. It's proving difficult to get hold of though. This video when it came in, was in quite a …
Beosound Essence
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2014 23:31Sounds like I will have to make some changes to my current setup. At the moment I have a Beocenter 4000 as the main amplifier. Since I no longer use the cassette decks anymore, I was more or less looking for a replacemen…
Beosound Essence
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2014 20:36My Beogram and Beocenter is too old for beolink, but works with the beo4 remote for volume functionality through the beovision. If the Essence allowed me to access the music on my PC through beoplayer, then there isn't a…
