Anyway, if anyone wishes to share opinions about the proper transport of Beolab 5s I’m all ears. I think I’ve basically decided how they’re getting here so I’m receptive to opinion modifiers.
Have you enquired with a local B&O dealer whether they can supply crates/boxes?
As an example in this country, I just looked on UK eBay and found these for sale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/198091752627
Or these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404905427970

Alternatively you could get an older BL1000 remote with a phono button – the PHONO remote command is the same as N.RADIO.
EDIT: The older AUDIO TERMINAL also has a PHONO button, as does BL5000.

There is no way to re-assign the labelled buttons, but in some newer B&O systems it is possible to get the RADIO remote command to start N.RADIO.
What B&O equipment are you controlling with your Beo4.

How can I please assign the beo4 music button to nmusic
The normal Beo4s do not have a ‘music’ button. I assume you have a ‘hotel’ version – is N.MUSIC available in LIST?
Normal versions are as shown below – note button labels:

(On the extra note the transformer on my beomaster is really loud, is this common? Just tightening or adding some cushions could fix it?)
Danish Soundparts (a Beoworld Sponsor) do sell some new support rubber bushings that may help alleviate the problem: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/transformer-bushings-beomaster-3500-4500-5000-5500-6000-6500-7000-etc/
I replaced the bushings on my BC9500; it still hums but to be honest I cannot tell if the humming is reduced! The old bushings were very brittle, however, so new soft rubber should theoretically improve the damping. You could also look at re-positioning the Beomaster away from any shelving that may resonate and amplify the hum.

I can’t answer all your questions, but offer the following:
Beoport latest version for PC is Version 5.04.00.0031 – I downloaded from here: https://beoport.software.informer.com/download/
I have run it on Win 7 (32 bit), Win 10 (32 bit) and now it is running fine on on Win 11 (64 bit). There is a small problem with Radio stations, in that the PC audio system ‘mutes’ when changing internet radio station.
Hopefully someone can help with the other questions – there is a Beoport/Mac thread here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/playing-with-blink-pc2-and-beoport/

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.

Looks good! Looking forward to hearing more about the project! 😃

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.
