      Listen to the Severed Hand and replace the lan cable between Theatre and TV.

      B&O seem to buy their Lan cables at Temu and/or Shein. Utter crap.

      Aliexpress has even better cables.

      All the comms between BR1 and tv go thru the lan cable.

      I binned that cable out of the box.

        What actually would you like to control exactly on your PS5?
        I have a PS4, and no idea what to control with a BR1?

            I also get this message (your Bang & Olufsen Product has been disconnected…)

            Yes, excactly the same message I get when I pull the HDMI cable out the tv on purpose.

              Yes, the lan cable shipped with the Theatre is utter garbage.
              From the box straight into the bin so it won’t cause any harm.

              A 10 grand soundbare shipped with a 50ct lan cable, how much harm can you do to your own brand?

                I know the ethernet cable provided with the Theatre is garbage, but I don’t know with the Stage.

                Swap out your cables first, after that you can complain about B&O’s Stage firmware.

                your Beoremote’s commands travel through those cables to the tv.

                that your cables where fine before is zero guarantee, they can just give up after a while.

                As far as I know the Stage is rock solid.

                  You could use Beolab 3, 4000,17, or 8 high up on the wall or ceiling with the appropriate brackets.

                  or use celestials, but they are passive speakers and need a seperate amp.

                  The Theatre can do the room correction once it knows wich speakers are connected.

                  This measuring is suprisingly accurate.

                  The is a technical soundguide on how to do this, but I don’t know where to download it.

                  Someone else can jump in here.

                  you can use Wisa, but be aware that when your Wifi router is hopping channels it can cause disturbance.

                  Setting your wifi router manually on one channel and/or on 2.4 or 5g is very helpful.

                    You can use all of the Beolabs from the eighties onwards

                    you choose the right model from the pull down menu when configuring/adding them to the Theatre

                      Kose trading has a YT video where they take the BC2 apart.

                              If there are no microscope photos (usb microscopes are cheap)  availlable, assume that a secondhand needle is worn/broken and needs retipping.

                              Buy a cheap mmc4 and have it retipped, then you are sure of a good quality needle or stylus/cantilever.

                              Don’t ask me why I know this…

                                You need a service manual too, and Kose Trading has a Youtube video how to dismantle it.

                                I have replaced these belts too, the clamper belt was hard to source but I got it from a dealer who was not alowed to sell it on…🤐

                                 

                                I still need a fix for the sticky clamper, there seems to be a fix for it, but I haven’t found it.

                                        Tonar has had aftermarket cartridges, there is some new old stock here and there.

                                        Retipping means mounting a new diamond on a needle(cantilever), there are different kinds of diamonds that can be mounted. The needle, wich is called a cantilever can also be replaced.

                                        The SP type cartridges are cheaper then the MMC type cartridges.

                                        FJS in Germany retipped my SP cartridge, he said it had a lifespan of around 2000hrs, the cheaper ones a lot shorter.

                                          Choose one that has or can have an internal RIAA Preamp.

                                          Beogram 1000, 1500 (old model), Mostly modelnumbers x500 like 4500 5500 etc with. some exeptions like 1800? On Steves website you can find them somewhere.

                                            The German service is a good adress for retipping.

                                            If you buy a secondhand cartridge, you’ll accept that they mostly need a retip.

                                            I’m afraid that a cheap cartridge does not excist…
