BV9 on the way upstairs

[Ipe]

Hi,

I’m planing to “lift” BV9 upstairs. Corridor is too narrow and stairs…….hmmm. Does anyone have experience or has someone put that TV to smaller more lighter pieces? One can of course hire a crane:)

I have no idea what can be taken off. You would obviously need help but if your not comfortable trying this get a pair of house moving guys who are used to moving stuff in tight spaces.

It is worth keeping !

Hi,

Unfortunately, BV9 is a 110 kg monolith and I would not take the risk to dismantle it.

The best is to hire movers, you’ll take advantage of their tricks… and strength 🙂

Good luck,

Yann.

Valve, you were faster than me 🙂

The Beovision 9 is in fact extremely easy to disassemble, by far the easiest of all B&O TVs. The heaviest part ist the plasma panel, which ist attached with a few screws and connected to the Beosystem 3 only with a DVI connector and the mains cable. It took me around an hour to disassemble, transport and reassemble the unit within my house. The panel can be carried by one strong person or two guys of average build, as can the housing with speakers and Beosystem 3. I strongly recommend going this route.

The disassembly process is (briefly) covered in the service manual, which can be found on Beoworld or via google document search.

My only memory from such a job years ago was….back pain ?

Wow – did not expect this as a practical option. Why aren’t more people talking about this? If I had known this, I would have been shopping a BV9 vs what I could move up the stairs at my old flat!

Hi, been planing to move bv9 upstairs next weekend. Checked it (TV) a bit from here and there. Should not be a bad thing to do at all. Lets see how it goes:)

Hi, TV 124kg + two strong guys would be at least 300kgs. I really question durability of my old house stairs:) They also make 90 degree curve and are relatively steep……..

@Beoaddict

From where did you begin to unscrew? From back or front? I did not find that kind of service manual with exploded view. Just ask because I don’t want to do extra work or any mistakes:)
