Hi Stuart and welcome to Beoworld!
to be compatible, needs to have a built-in RIAA pre-amplifier
To be honest, that’s about the only ‘compatibility’ requirement, hence you can take/read advice from any source. Depending on the turntable output connections, you may need an adaptor to connect to the Ouverture’s aux socket. Our site sponsor Sounds Heavenly should be able to supply – see below.
If you want to be able to remote control the turntable then you should purchase a B&O Beogram with built in RIAA, such as BG4500, 6500 or 7000. Anything ‘cheap’ will almost certainly require servicing and/or repair.

I would probably buy one from here: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/relay-for-beomaster-5000-5500-6500-7000/

It’s referred to in the Service Manual (available to Silver/Gold Members) as the System Control PCB, also known as PCB40 – it contains the main microprocessor (under the metal cover). The attached battery is the backup battery (referred to earlier in the thread) that makes sure that the system retains its settings.

Many thanks for the heads-up, and good luck with the move! 😀

Do you have a remote, and if so does it work when you use a remote? Does the FM radio work?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
You haven’t said which BV10 you have, but all the guides and instructions are still available from B&O here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041518732-Beovision-10
Look are the pages titled ‘Registering Additional equipment’ and work through them slowly. I use Apple TV with my Beovision 10-32 and it works well.
Come back and ask if you struggle with a particular part of the instructions. (Your screenshots don’t show, by the way)

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
Have a look at the diagrams half way down this page covering the mini DIN 9-pin (the third one covers powerlink): https://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32157&KW=beovision+11&PN=0&TPN=27

I would like to put the Auto mode but on my Beolab 4 I have only 2 switch : one is for position 1-2-3 and the other one is for PC-Line.
Auto mode will be activated when you use the line-in socket and set the ‘PC-Line’ switch to ‘line’.
Instructions are available on the B&O Support site: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041571012-Beolab-4

My recommendation would be to also replace the clamper belt while you have it open since it is relatively easy to do.
Good idea – yes I think I will do that also. I’ll probably need to place a Danish Sound Parts order so best to get a few extra spares.
I think on the BS4 I will leave the sticky plastic as it is – it’s not mine! If I get it working that will be enough of a success!

I had a visit from a couple of my cousins yesterday and they dropped off some B&O for ‘repair’ 😀
I powered each up briefly yesterday.On the left a BeoSound 3000 – I think the only problem is the doors being very slow to open. CD and radio worked well. I’ll strip it down, give it a good clean (remove white paint specks!) and replace the door drive belt at the least.On the right BeoSound 4 with DAB. This seems pretty dead other than red standby light showing. The glass door opens, and moves further for CD loading as it should, but that’s about it! I can’t even put it in Service Menu. I have never worked on one of these before, so I had a quick search of the earlier forums and think there could be an ‘unrepairable’ problem with PCB06 (the main microprocessor board) so I don’t hold out much hope! (It’s not a PIN problem – I do have the PIN but it is not being requested, and I an unable to enter the PIN menu)Anyway, I won’t have any time to look at either until September, so I will get back to the forum to let you know how I get on …Location: Warwickshire, UK

Great news – thanks for letting us know, and enjoy your B&O! 😀

Thanks Guy…I just double checked, and my sound system is a 4000, not a 2500! I’m not sure if that makes a difference. I did try the sequence that you sent me, but it didn’t work.
The BS4000 is also known as BeoSound Ouverture in Europe. This has its own Masterlink socket, so no need for the Beolink Converter that I mentioned.
So your system should work as described with just the masterlink cable between the TV and BS4000 – check that the cable is pushed fully home in both sockets, and maybe try reversing the cable to see if that makes a difference. Check also the masterlink sockets for dust or debris.
Otherwise perhaps there is a fault in your BL1000 remote, so you can also try using the Beo4 remote to conduct the Option setting as follows:
- With the whole system connected & powered but at stand-by.
- BS4000: On the Beo4, press the POWER button and LIST together. Then press LIST until OPTION is shown, press GO (centre button), and then press LIST to show A.OPT. Then press 0. The red stand-by light on the BS4000 should blink to show that this option has been accepted.
- BV5: On the Beo4, press the POWER button and LIST together. Then press LIST until OPTION is shown, press GO (centre button), and then press LIST to show V.OPT. Then press 2. The red stand-by light on the TV should blink to show that this option has been accepted.
Now try again! Fingers crossed!

Assuming that the TV and BC2500 are in the same room, and the speakers are connected to the TV (which is the most usual set-up):
With the system at stand-by, using the BL1000:
Press SOUND then 0 then STORE (to put the BC2500 in A.OPT 0)
Press PICTURE then 2 then STORE (to put the TV in V.OPT 2)
Then try to operate as before.
(Double check all your cable connections also – if your audio centre is definitely a BC2500 then there should be an extra box (Beolink Converter) between that and the TV))

Great photos Tomas – welcome to Beoworld!
I guess sound transfered via that same cable too?
And I have realised that I never answered this question! Yes, the cable connection was just the RF, hence sound was also transferred and worked beautifully.
When researching the sale I found that it is quite easy to modify the Atari 2600 to provide composite (or even RGB or s-video) outputs, which may be useful for more modern TVs without analogue tuners.

Now that archivedforum2 is working (apart from the search function), here’s a couple of BM5/BS5 threads that may be helpful (although I am not sure whether your specific question is covered):

New tape as highlighted above is the ‘proper’ way to fix, but I have used super glue gel successfully several times. Me being lazy, there is no need to remove the old tape – just squeeze a very small line of glue around the edge.
(My BC9500 suffered extreme temperature during a house move to Bucharest – my boxes were sat in the sun in a shipping container in the heat of a Romanian summer. Both glass panels has to be re-glued.)

@MJBeo – ArchivedForum2 should now be working, but its ‘search’ function is still work in progress. The google search (using site: etc) should be a useable workaround in the meantime.

Thanks for highlighting. I have just reported the problem to Multicare.

Will they, for example, work with my Beocenter 9500 or Beomaster 4500, with two-way remote?
Sadly no.
I tried my MCP5500 with my BC9500 several years ago. Although some of the simple functions work (source selection etc), the two-way IR seems incompatible, hence important stuff like volume control will not work correctly.
What was wrong with the BL5000s that you tried? Other than the common screen failure, capacitors can fail which stops the two-way IR from working.
