Blinking Standby Light on an Avant

6 replies

The light on my BeoVision Avant is blinking when the system is in standby. Everything seems to function fine otherwise. I've put the system through its paces and cannot find anything else out of the ordinary.

Any ideas? 

If it's a Avant VCR then remove the tape cassette 🙂
It is not. It is just a regular old Avant. No tape, no DVD. 

Hi,

It happened to me sometimes,  I used to simply set the video option again with the Beo4. I don't know if it is a standalone set or if it's linked to an audio system but you can just try to do the following :

Stand in front of the TV so that the remote reaches the avant : 

Press the STOP (red dot) button in the beo4  ****simultaneously*** with the button list,

Press LIST again until you  reach  'OPTION?'

Press GO

Press LIST button until you reach  'V. OPT' flashing

Press 0 if it's a standalone TV

Press 2 if it's linked in the same room to an audio system

Press 1 otherwise.

You may also try to simply plug/unplug the power (i guess you've already done so...)

Hope this help.

 

This happened once to me, too. No apparent reason. Switched off the set with the main switch and unplugged it from the mains for 30 sec and the stanby-light returned to 'normal'.

Thanks Moolauss. I'll give this another try. Even if it works, you can imagine my level of comfort with "unexplained" blinking! 😕

Thanks again!
