I had the same thought. The connections you were i doubt of is digital sound, so a motherboard with that will be needed. Also there might be some drivers issues, but I wonder if it is more or less like a PCI version of the Beoport which has prooven to work under windows 10, and therefor should be possible to use in anothjer system. But that is a test for another time
Beoport also works with Win11 – trialled and discussed here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolink-pc2-beoport-beoplayer/
I have since installed Beoport and tested with my new Win11 desktop and all the functionality is there, but I didn’t connect additional ML devices. It still has the annoying bug of muting the audio when you change radio stations – I’d be interested to hear whether your Beomedia(s) do the same.

I started a new topic, but now it is marked as spam. That doesn’t help.
Could you please check if something can be done to correct this?
I was only referring to an old topic with a link, further it was just text and a pictureYes it went to spam – all sorted now but I’ll keep an eye on the thread in case of future problems.

In which subforum would fit such a project? Then I’ll create a separate post with more information.
The project is in a 80% state of completionGiven the integration into a ‘Beosystem’, go for the subforum here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/forum/products-related-forums/beosystem/

Hi all,
Pretty new here, a few years ago I made an account but never been really active.
I’m working on a networkplayer which integrates in a Beosystem 5000/5500/6500/7000.
Base housing is an old Beomaster 5500 which was in appaling state.
Hart of the system is a Raspberry Pi with Volumio Audio Streamer.
Around this 3 Led Matrix screens behind the frontpanel, An Arduino to communicate with the Beomaster and a second Pi to control the screens.
If you like it I can create a separate topic.Sounds interesting, and welcome to Beoworld!
If it’s just a couple of posts/pictures, then post here, but it could well be worth starting a new topic so that Beoworlders can follow future developments and ask questions as your project progresses.

Thanks Guy, had a feeling it would be that but didn’t want to risk it. Happy to say I got the bottom off, used some plastic glue to fix the break, reassembled, and it’s working. It’s looking a bit worn as these bases often do, but at least it’s working.
Good stuff. The base that I broke up was awful – really stick black plastic that almost crumbled and made a mess every time I touched it. Luckily I found another base with a ‘broken’ BC2, and used that as part of my final setup.

Here’s my intact one to help explain.I think inserting something very thin into each of the three gaps (arrowed) between plastic clips and metal weight should release the base. Maybe cut up a bank card?

Luckily, when I destroyed mine I took some photos:
From the bottom, I think if you slide something very thin up between the plastic tab and the metal weight, you may be able to unclip the three plastic base tabs inwards so that they release out of the weight, thus exposing the screws that enable you to proceed further.Location: Warwickshire, UK

Hi Michelle and welcome to Beoworld,Hi Member 20100, Do you have a link for that part, please?
Can I ask what part you wanted a link to, in case @20100 doesn’t see your post?
There’s an amazon link in one of my posts that still works, in case it’s a replacement laser that you are after.

Hi Mark and welcome to Beoworld!
The BC9000 speaker 1 sockets will accept 4-pin DIN cables like the ones available from Steve. The extra two pins on the BC9000 speaker 1 sockets are to provide data to the Penta speakers. This enables the display on the Pentas to show Volume and Source. Speakers without displays should work fine without the two extra connections.

According to the manual there in a ‘tone ringer’ switch under the notepad section (slide to the right) which should be set to position 9.

The inner wires should still be sheathed – the metal that grips the cable should cut through this sheath as the cable is pushed into place.
EDIT: I have attached the junction box instructions because I am not sure whether we have them in the library.

Hi David and welcome to Beoworld!
Can I first just check that this is the Beocenter you are referring to: https://beoworld.org/beocenter-8000/
If so, then either BeoLink 1000 (BL1000) or Beo4 should be fine to operate it. I wouldn’t bother with the aftermarket versions, just find a decent working BL1000 or Beo4 on eBay for £30 to £50.
Come back and ask if you have any further questions once you get hold of a suitable remote.

Second post here, second para states that BC2 goes to A.Opt 0 if no speakers are connected – and post was made by quite an experienced poster/founder member.
https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/t/13784.aspx
And a post here says it goes to A.OPT 6:

Can you get into the ‘Options’ menu and turn off the Tuners? Both analogue and DVB-HD if there.
Alternatively, try going to the Service menu* and find the option ‘RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS’. Then try setup again.
* The Service Menu must be activated while the TV SETUP menu is displayed. From
this initial state, the Service Menu is activated in the following way: Beo4: the Service Menu is activated by pressing 0 0 GO within 3 s.Location: Warwickshire, UK

After disabling my mesh network and just going with one router everything now works fine.
Good to hear – I hope it keeps working!
I meant to say, it could also be worth checking that your M3 is at the latest SW level – it should be at 6.5.57689.212515568 which was released on 22 October 2025. Full details of this and earlier versions are listed in the release notes here: https://update.bang-olufsen.com/products/b4ebddbebc6542ad87534e36f49d6a9a

I found a copy of the service manual on the Kose trading site (hopefully attached below), but it should be on Beoworld also – I will check with Multicare.

Hi Peter and welcome to Beoworld!
Have you tried changing the Line In detection level to ‘disabled’? It’s the setting above the delay setting.

You have asked this question a few times on the forum so I thought I would have a look for the answer!
I could see from the circuit diagram in the service manual (available on Beoworld to Silver/Gold members) that it appears to be mounted on a separate board to the main PSU/Pre-Amp PCB (PCB2). I couldn’t find a diagram, so I did a search with Google AI and received this answer:
Transistor Details: The mute transistor designated as TR1 in the Beocenter 2300 is a 2SC4213 SMD transistor.
Part Number: The specific part number for the TR1 mute transistor is 2SC4213.
Type: It is an SMD (surface-mounted device) transistor.
Location: The P-L MUTE circuitry uses two identical 2SC4213 SMD transistors (TR1 and TR2) and two 8.2K ohm resistors, which are mounted on a small, vertical 4-pin sub-board on the main PCB.
Function: A failure in one or both of these transistors is a known cause for audio issues, such as a popping sound when changing sources or one channel being dead, as they control the power-link (P-L) muting function.
Replacement: Replacements for this specific transistor are available from various online electronics suppliers.
If you are experiencing a mute-related problem, it is recommended to test both TR1 and TR2 and their associated components, as either or both can be the source of the fault.I am guessing slightly but I think the small vertical PCB may well be the one that you can see the edge of (between the PL sockets and the 3 capacitors) in the PCB photo at this link: https://kosetrading.com/product/bang-olufsen-bo-beocenter-2300-dab-radio-type-7400-power-supply-part-pcb-2/?srsltid=AfmBOoqX2I4oeoPjxBq0Qiioegkc5mxQQZ2tYzAHYY9v579QJKmKr1Mo-
