The BC9500 is similar to the 7000 system… and 5500/6500/7000 amplifier have a problem with the potentiometer of the “no_load_current”.
If it fails, the current is so high, that the emergency cutoff is activated.
Replace the pots, around 100 Ohm… measure the adjustment of the pots, remove them, replace them… start around with the same position of the pots… take FOTO !
The 7000 uses this adjustment… it’s 7000, not 9500. But very similar…
There are some different software levels of the BL7000. Some are so old, that the BC9500 does not understand.
I have repaired some 9500 and some of my BL7000 did work with them, some did not. It depends on the software of the BL7000 … AND of the BC9500.
The BC can be upgraded, the BL7000 does not… SMD chip without socket…
The BC sends IR only from the front and the small sender horizontal IR beams.
The BL7000 has 2 IR receiver units… one horizontal and one vertical.
So… one is dying now on yours, probably the one when standing in the charger and the one looking to the ceiling is still alive…
Soooo, repair the smd caps in the metal box on the front…, dont wait, they are spreading acid over the ir transmitter chip. There is a time limit to repair when the acid is under this chip… then it is beyond repair. There is no way to remove the acid under the chip, it will only become better, but never again like new…
… They did the impossible; got a VX5000 working for me (and they swore they would never work on one again)…… -Gregg
I know exactly why. A running and working VX5000 is a lot of work, around 200 caps to replace … and around 100 further never seen and hidden in a lot of boxes making heat problems…
This are of the replaced caps you can see … and arond 100 more unseen inside a lot of boxes…
Not talking about capstan motors, gearboxes, clutches, loading units, flaps, unused analog tuners, power supplies… 12kg electronics is overkill.
But it can be done. Some are running now for years, cool and reliable…
This is typical for a defect accu. Check the cells… 1,25-1,45V each, depending type. And all identical. Probably one cell will be lower with a problem.
Eneloop NiMh cells are pretty good for this job. 5 Years lifetime and longer. Some will run for 10 years.
NiCd are a good reason for scrapping the BL7000 in 2 years. They will loose their acid.
If you like pictures like this, use NiCd or standard NiMh…
Touch the metal plate. It must not become warm, even after days or weeks. Otherwise there is a recap necessary… not BL7000, the charger !!! Overload… and a 240V update.
If you use Penta for Left&Right channel and a TV for the Center, then this setup was pretty good with a MX8000 and the DolbyDigital5.1 System.
In the background are 2 BL8000…
The Pentas are listed in the MX8000 system software, also the BL8000 and the distance to the listener.
There is also an option for a subwoofer.
The Center speaker of the MX8000 (2x 2way system) is good enough for small/middle size rooms. Surprisingly the option “subwoofer” is not a good selection, it is way to much. Just the opposite is the better solution: switch subwoofer to on, but dont use the subwoofer.
The sound is better.
The same will happen if you use the Penta as a center. Way to big.
Or do we talk about a room with 120qm oder bigger?
Have you already tried a Penta in real life as a center?
