With the Beomaster 5500 I always look at the ariel inputs and use them as the basis for deceiphering the diagrams lol. Seems to work ok!

Beomaster 5500 How do I enable Speaker 2 with MCP6500 ?

different way of specifying the power or which line you look at in the spec sheet
Modern times - yes the specs have ever been changed for the worse.
Best example is the "PMPO" - Wattage.
It's also called the "cardboard wattage" - because it's only printed on the cardboard package 😕.

hehe I always called that the argos wattage - Argos being a catalogue / invisible shelf shop company in the UK.
Well ok sorry it took so long to get back to all of you :)
I am listening to the 5500 right now and I have tried every single fathemable way to get speaker 2 to work and I cannot hear any audio out of it at all. A real shame
Other than that, this receiver works fine, but I also cannot get this one to tune like I can my other 5500. I know how it works so I dont know what I'm doing wrong... is the step program supposed to be on a certain number?
See if the timer is activated. It might be the problem. You disable it by pressing the "step program" and "mute" in a few seconds.
Unfortunately that did not work :( Is there a reset for the receiver itself, to set it back to factory default? Otherwise I guess I am at a loss :\
Just had a look at the schematics - there is no way to stop speakers 2 from working 😂
That'll backup Mika's findings...
So either someone has clipped off those speaker connector wires or the connectors itself are faulty.
Maybe even the wires have fallen off...
Don't know your skills but you might have a look inside...
EDIT: found this on your posts:
Speaker 1 is the top speaker outputs with speaker 2 being the bottom right?
NOPE!
Speakers 2 are at the TOP (those with 3 pins). The lower ones are speaker 1 (with 4 pins). So that solves the mystery of not-working permanent attached speakers 🙂
So obviously your speakers 1 aren't working which makes much more sense... Now it's back to muting circuit or mute relay...
P.S. @ olly: BINGO!

And another good way to permanently mute #1 outputs is to break a headphone plug in the socket... 👍
The switch in the socket can get stuck, too, or oxidize and lose contact. I vaguely remember arriving to this diagnosis with somebody else a long time ago. If you don't find a broken plug in it, try inserting and removing one for several times, perhaps wiggling it a bit.
If you don't hear a relay click in the Beomaster when you operate MUTE normally from the remote control, this is a possible problem source.

Good point!
Or probably leave one of those in it...

LOL I think if you managed to force one of these into the socket you would have more to worry about than speaker 1 not working 😁
