in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 15, 2020 08:30Thank you for the kind offer. Let's wait a little if anybody on this forum comes up with an idea how to fix it.
Beosystem 2500 FM Tuner
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 14, 2020 16:13I have a Beosystem 2500 from 1992. Works flawless, except the FM Tuner has trouble to reliably tune radio stations and sound is very often distorted. There is a lot of "hiss". Is this something related to aging component…

in General Discussion & Questions · May 18, 2020 09:53I am thinking about to revive a passive subwoofer and connect it to a Playmaker. The obvious choice is a ICEpower125ASX2. How do I connect the Powerlink on/off pins to the amp? Bernd

DVD1 stopped reading disks
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2017 14:24I have a DVD1, which started to randomly not play/read DVDs some time ago. Since a week it doesn't read DVD any more. Is this a known problem and can it be fixed? Thanks Bernd
MX 7000 and Picture Mute
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 30, 2016 21:10I recently got a MX 7000. I expected that it supports Picture Mute, but neither my Beo4 (the old model with V.TAPE) or a Beolink 1000 turn off the picture. I tried PICTURE>MUTE (on Beolink 1000) and AV>V.TAPE (on Beo4, i…
Penta Refoam surround sizes.
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 22, 2015 11:04I recently finished refoaming a pair of Penta IIIs using the foam rings and glue from GoodHifi. The result and sound is very good and I don't see a reason not using the GoodHifi surrounds. For the inner ring I put the gl…
Playmaker Sound Setup
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 14, 2014 21:51Hi, recently my Playmaker started to play louder on the right channel. I ruled out the cabling, by plugging the speakers into a Beosound directly. So, somebody has changed the sound settings and changed to balance and ma…
Playmaker Turns On Automagically
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 1, 2014 16:10Hi, I have my Playmaker Line-In connected to the AUX Out of my BS 2500 (details are here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/advice-beocenter-9000-9500-9300-8000#post-1829121). I am extremely happy with it and every…
Playmaker Dropouts - Not What You'd Think (Long Post)
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2014 06:59Interesting. I have my Playmaker now since 5 weeks and had ZERO dropouts. I have my music library on a WD Live Book, served by the built in Twonky server. My DLNA device is a Lenovo Yoga Tablet, running BubbleUpnp. Every…
Beocenter 2500 and Playmaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2014 21:42The advantage, in the the BC->PM->Loudspeaker setup, is that the BC does not need to be turned on all the time, when the PM is playing. And, when I turn on wireless playback, from WHATEVERDevice, I don't need to activate…
Beocenter 2500 and Playmaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 10, 2014 08:44In the meantime, I have finalized the setup and cabling. The PM Aux IN is now connected to the BC Aux OUT. The PL from the Playmaker is connected with a RJ45-DIN (female) adapter to the Pentas. It is interesting that the…
Beocenter 2500 and Playmaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 11, 2013 06:56Sounds good. I'll give it a try. I have a spare Beolink 1000. Does it support the continuous LINK MODE, too?
Beocenter 2500 and Playmaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 10, 2013 21:35OK, makes sense. Does it mean that the BC2500->PM->Penta setup, would not work? I would prefer this solution as it would leave the BC turned off most of the time.
Beocenter 2500 and Playmaker
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 10, 2013 18:42Hi, I have an early Beocenter 2500 (Type 2601) and would like to extend it with a Playmaker. Since the PM will be the primary music source, I'd like to connect the BC2500 (PL out) to the PM line-in, which will drive a pa…
