Any Bluetooth headphone transmitter should work as the 9000 has a standard headphone jack

I woke up a boot-locked BEO6 recently. Unit had a new battery but would not power on or show any signs of life on the charger. Config tool would not see it plugged in either. I had to use VirtualBox to emulate Windows 7 with the config tool and it woke right up. All signs pointed to completely dead but it just needed the right connection to the config tool.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:I imagine this would work fine. If you are shopping for used Sonos, please make sure the manufacture date is 2015 or newer – Only units 2015 or newer will work with the current-gen Sonos app (I think the cut off date was technically mid 2014 but just to be safe).
A more reliable(?) new solution may be something like the Wiim Pro as it has a line-in for the turntable and line-out for the 6000s. It wont give full streaming capabilities but Airplay is a close second on a budget.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Glad you got that out!
I have had decent but inconsistent success with lasers from eBay. Seems like 1/3 don’t work and need to be sent back. There is a sticker on the Philips CD module that will verify which laser you need – requires some disassembly to get to it.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:You will need some kind of preamp with volume control. Something simple and inexpensive like a Schiit Syn or Saga. Alternatively, you could get something from B&O like a Beosound Ouverture, or something new like a Beoconnect Core (this one will give you streaming and multi-room features)
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:I’m curious if this screw is not the original. I don’t think I have ever seen a silver screw here – only black. This is only a set screw so it is just threaded into plastic and not metal. With enough torque it should budge, but I wouldn’t want to put too much pressure on the plastic lifter it is threaded into. Tricky.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Beolab 6000s are still very impressive speakers. Their biggest downside is the lack of low end as they only use two small 3.5″ woofers. They sound great in a small room but could also work in a larger room for background music. A sub could be easily added, and then you’d have a really great sounding system. Beolab 2 and Beolab 11 subwoofers will work natively. You can have a really nice and easy to use system with a Beconnect Core and a pair of BL6000s.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Ah I see, masterlink will do it too. Glad you got it working!
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:I don’t have an Eclipse to test this with, but I know that with my Theatre system, I have a speaker group that is comprised of a pair of BL18s and one BL19 – completely excluding the Theatre bar. However, things may be different with Eclipse
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:So, is there anything plugged into the Powerlink port on the 9000? If not, you’ll need an option 1 plug.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:BS9000 IR commands will only work if there is something plugged into the Powerlink port. Do you have speakers connected? Changing option mode via remote also requires buttons that I don’t believe are available on the BR1. You would have to use an older remote. I recommend Beolink 1000 or Beo4.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Wow good stuff! Looks like you have some things I don’t have. The original buyers only purchased the BM8000, BG8000, BC8002, and SC80 cabinet, so I have the paperwork for all of those. No info on speakers. From what I can tell these systems are pretty hard to find in the US, especially with paperwork.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:That’s great!
You can control the BS9000 with BR One, but I don’t think there is a way to add the “Shift” command, which is required to access test modes.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:It does sound the same. Try the methods mentioned by Bill. In my case I had to replace the whole clamper arm (2854207) as it had physically broken due to heat and I couldn’t bend it back into shape. Old on left, new on right.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Yes, I have both. One was in better condition than the other and I swapped them.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:The core should autoplay the line-in when a signal is received. The tricky part is easily joining the Theatre and Core together. Probably the best way to do it would be setting the group as one of your four preset buttons on BR One.
- Use the app to set Core to line-in, and join the Core and Theatre.
- Make sure your listening position and other settings are how you like them to the turntable.
- Then, press and hold one of the four preset buttons on the remote to save that configuration to that button.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Can you connect the turntable directly to the line-in (USB-C) on the Theatre? Then you wont have to join the Core and Theatre, it will just autoplay on the the Theatre.
Location: Winter Park, FLMy B&O Icons:Very often these units will have laser issues. Search for other threads on the forum for laser cleaning and/or replacement.
