Beosystem 7000

19 replies

Hello Everyone,


I'm new to B&O and only have a bit of knowledge about the products (from WWW research).  I was the lucky recipient this weekend of a complete Beosystem 7000 set.  This includes the Beolink 7000 as well.  I did not get speakers so unfortunately I haven't even been able to hear it in action yet.  I ordered a pair of the speaker converter ends off of ebay so hopefully I will be rocking it soon.\\


I have few questions:


Is there a cheap remote option for this system?  The beolink 7000 I have only seems to work half the time the other half of the time it just sort of goes to sleep and does not respond to touching it at all.   I have seen that the Beolink 1000 will control this system but I would really like to get something cheaper.  Does anyone know anything about this 1000 copy?


Welcome to Beoworld🙂

Very nice system (I also have one). Please don't consider one of these so called copies as I promse you that you'll be disappointed with it.

The beolink 7000 is a truly iconic peice of B&O but not the best for every day use. What you want is a link or a , you can also use the 2 way

Thanks, Chris!

Any chance you can post a link to the type of battery pack you are talking about?  Plus, I believe that there are only 5 AA's is my Beolink 7000?  Does this sound right?


Another question...I don't have the AM/FM antennas for the Beomaster 7000 either.  Are these fairly easy to find?


Thanks again for your help.

 

Hi Jason,

              You're proably right about it being a 5 battery cell - it's been quite some time since I opened one of these. If that's the case then

Thanks a lot for your help, Chris!

I too have been having trouble getting a remote to work with my beosystem 7000. I have a beolink 1000 but cant seem to get it to do simple things like power on and off and to raise and lower volume on my system. I'm lucky enough to have the cylindrical speakers to go with the system but cant fully enjoy it because I cant change the volume. Any assistance some knowledgable person can give to get me unstuck will be greatly appreciated.  ron

Ron,
Chris stated above that the Beolink 1000 should work with the beosystem 7000.  As I am in the process of trying to find a used one this is worrying. 


Chris - Any ideas. Typically the beolink 1000 should at least control the basic functions (volume / source) of the beosystem 7000, right? 
I still can't believe that there is not an easier way to control the volume on these things at least.  I understand that is part of the charm but come on it is a hassle for those of us without a working remote!

Anyone know if you can buy the beolink 1000 anywhere other than ebay at reasonable prices?
Thanks,
Jason

I assume that this system is new to you? Is the remote itself known good? Might it have been in a linked system prior to your ownership? Have you tried re-optioning it?

There is no question about it. A BL1000 will control a BS7000.

Also... I assume you are in the states.

If you are interested...

I have available a BL1000, BL5000, or a Beo4 remote... any of which will control your BS7K.

I have sent you both a PM (top right of the page - click on your inbox) and an email...
