Yes. But I won’t say.
I have one just like that – got it from you. 🙂Three rolling stands in one photo. You don’t see that every day.

26 August 2023 at 18:25 #34916Very nice! No idea what makes that particular 1500 special, but I grow more envious of your collection with every picture! 😀
27 August 2023 at 09:39 #34917I found these pocket calendars,note the different logos
They are full of many useful information,for example an højtonerundspreder(rondstraler) speaker in 1962 coasted 90 dkr
And i can see that 15 February 1962 the original owner spend 6dkr on cigars,3,50dkr on food and 6dkr on beer

Nice find!Martin

28 January 2024 at 20:55 #34922Not the usual bottle opener design
Unfortnuatly corrosion is showing its signs on it.
My father tells me that is was given to the employes when 100.000 of the type 39xx series TV was made.
This my father used when he was doing layout sketches of PCB traces for B&O tv’s in the 80’s before it was compuerized.
I remeber he had some black tape in different withds and alsosome small round dots to use where the component legs should be.

Hey Dennis,Been searching for some info about the “hotel version” of the Beo4 and whether it is even possible to “jailbreak” it somehow, and came across with Your post.
So sharing picture of mine Beo4 for hotels. It was custom made for Hyatt Regency.
I was a bit disappointed with my first B&O product because of this very remote. A couple days ago I bought low mileage black BeoVision 7-32 Mk4 type 9177 (w BTB module) with motorized stand, Beolab 7.1, stb bracket and “Beo4 hotel”. The entire set cost me USD 130.
All I can do is select TV, DVD, MyMusic (enables Camcorder) as source. It mentions HDMI-1, 2, 3, 4 along with DVI in hdtv (connection settings) even though I can’t find any HMDIs.
I’m also a bit puzzled with power consumption of the BV7, it says just 98w (while other bv7 state at least 150+ watts).
I really hope my BV7 is not limited like the Beo4 hotel version.
I would appreciate Your input on the matter
13 February 2024 at 23:30 #34926Hi MrMMMichail, that is a special remote! I doubt that the TV is ‘limited’. When you use the ‘MENU’ button, can you access and change things in the menu? Maybe you can post a picture of the menu screen, so I can compare that with my Mk3.
A big difference with a regular remote is that it misses the ‘LIST’ button, under which you can add various commands. And you said motorized stand, can you control that now?
Regards, Johan
15 February 2024 at 16:39 #34927Hi Tignum, thank You for reply!
Yes, I can access and change settings in menu as well as control the stand.
I’d like to add to my previous post that before buying the set the seller showed me his PS3 connected through DVI (he selected MyMusic = Camera source). He turned PS3 on and in 5 seconds or so image appeared on the screen. Seems like the BV7 automatically recognized PS3. But when I change HDTV settings to DVI in “Camera”, it wont allow me to select the source and won’t recognize TV box.
Is there a way to make BeoVision 7 automatically recognize signals from sources? Maybe somewhere in service menu?
I decided to take a video for You and show how the BV7 works. Here is the link to YouTube.
Thanks again!

The names in the connection menu (AV1, AV2, CAMERA, etc) are matching the naming of the physical / analog inputs on the back. Any connection can be linked to an individual remote key. That is done using the SOURCE entry. So e.g. AV2 can be assigned to TV, AV3 to DTV and so on. DVI can then be assigned to that source using the HDTV option.
The HDMI options are shown there because back in the days they offered an external HDMI switch / expander that is automatically controlled by the TV.
In your video you are assigning the CAMERA input to the DTV remote button. That is the reason it doesn’t react to the CAMERA remote key any longer.
Also don’t forget to separately connect the audio signal from your source device as DVI does not carry that. You can either use SPDIF and select the matching port in the AUDIO SOCKET entry – or use the analog inputs (which are a bit inconvenient for the camera source – located behind the push-in flap on the side)
25 March 2024 at 12:53 #34929Probably gonna be more of an addition than addiction
I have never really been found of the look of it, but when BS4 was announced at a price I couldn’t say no to I picked it up anyway
Of course it’s sticky all over since B&O at that point was going all in with these coatings on all surfaces.
Furthermore when powered up the glass door is moving down, but when it reach the buttom gear noice starts and keeps going.
Could be a sensor problem?
I was very surprised by the low weight of it when I picked it up. B&O must really have saved on the material bill on these units.
Anyway. First things first. I have allready started to remove the sticky coating as my fingers get all black when I touch it
19 June 2024 at 10:04 #56580I was in the market for a Playmaker when I stumbled upon this deal for ~150€
All untested so have to see how good of a deal it was, but there might be some working parts between. A bonus is the Beolab 3500 table stand on one of the BL3500’s which seems to be almost unobtaniumFrom top to bottom:
Beogram CD50
Beocord 5000
Playmaker
2 x Beolab 3500 MK1
Beolit 505
Beolit 707
MCP 6500
Beocom 6000 MK1 with extra handset
4 x MCL2AV
MVL2A
LC2
HDR2
2 x BL1000
Video Link 1
Beolink Passive
19 June 2024 at 11:22 #56583An excellent find – I am looking forward to hearing about lots of experiments with your new acquisitions, in particular the Video Link 1 😀
The table stand for the BL3500 is particularly hard to come by, worth €150 on it’s own to some people! The DVD2 is a fantastic piece of engineering but just so very complicated in use – I had one for a while but gave it away free when I sold my BC6-23. I now just use the far simpler DVD1.
What’s the plan with the Playmaker? (The main reason that I keep mine is in case I want to use the aux-in auto-sense to trigger PL speakers, perhaps for a non-B&O TV)

I was also a little curious about that. I looks like it can send datalink signals between TV’s with datalink capability through the antenna cable, and that way a local room (I guess that means Link room in modern terms) can control the VCR in the main room. Clearly something for the MX and LX line of Beovisions, but might not be very usefull today. I will save it though if an idea pops up.
The DVD2 is a fantastic piece of engineering but just so very complicated in use – I had one for a while but gave it away free when I sold my BC6-23. I now just use the far simpler DVD1.
It’s actually a HDR2, so again a thing that might not make much sence for modern TV’s. I will hook it up to the BC6 and test it though.

It is the autosense function I was going for, and might be primarely used in test setups
Btw. I have teted the 2 Beolab 3500. One is software 2.0 and is working, but the bass driveres are damaged. The other one is software 1.0. I ca not get it to activate my Ouverture, but it says ML is ok. But the SW 1.0 was also not fully working with Masterlink, so that might make sense.
As for the BC5000 it is completly dead, and the CD50 is ejecting the CD when I try to play one. It might be a small reapir.
19 June 2024 at 12:39 #56592Jealousy…
19 June 2024 at 12:42 #56593As for the BC5000 it is completly dead,
Nothing B&O is ever “completly dead”, maybe the Beosound 3 and still, not always.
Correct your post unless I will have to moderate it! 🙂
