Keith Saunders posted about a modification needed to Beosound 6000 with this issue. I will D/M him and ask if he has any input. https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/p/3280/24478.aspx Power-link mode: Mount a 1 nF capacitor across 03D1. Line mode: Mount a diode 1N4148 between 03R126 and 03D19. Apparently, B&O designed a fix?

Luke,
I received your PM and I can confirm that the answer I gave in the thread in the archived forum is correct.

Both the Beolab 6000 and Beolab 8000 had a similar reported problem, BUT they were not completely the same, but similar and B&O’s official solution were very different.

For the Beolab 8000 a formal notice was sent out to all B&O dealers on 1st March 2002 which had the following information.

Does not switch off after standby from Master
Symptom:

Switches on and off by itself, or does not switch off after standby from Master.

Cause:

Self-triggering when using the line-input socket.

Solution:

Mount a capacitor 0.33 uF/250V across the primary terminals of the mains transformer.
Please note that the capacitor must be the safety type supplied under part no. 4130546.
Remark: The modification is only to be used in sets with serial no. lower than approx. 09459585. From this serial no. the layout of PCB 02 has been modified to prevent the problem. (PCB 02 version F).

Regards

Keith..

Dear Beoworld Members,

I have noticed that many members are using the “Attachment” facility to add images.

Whilst I have allowed images to be attached to a post, it would be much better if you used the “Insert Image” facility in the menu of the editor as shown below.

Staffan,

Apologies for the late reply.

As the BeoSound 9000 Mark 1 manual is about 2 cm thick I just scanned the power supply section which is below and attached in a PDF. Click on the image to see it in large format.

Adding to Paul’s input the following are the registry entries

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bang & Olufsen\BeoPlayer\N.Radio]
“ViewSelection”=hex:00,01,02,03,04
“BufferTime”=dword:00000005
“ServerURL”=”https://nradio.beoplayer.com/nradiodata.asp”
“UserId”=”60B1D8994C224AC69B91931AE710521A”
“SoundIcons”=dword:00000001
“EnableDebug”=dword:00000000

As mentioned, it would seem that the lack of registration means that the Beoport itself is not recognised, thus once Beoplayer is installed my CONFIG menu is missing the ‘Advanced’ tab where you would set up the hardware (Option settings etc). I get no response whatsoever from Beo4 operation either .

One question — Is your Beoport connected to your MasterLink system?
The advanced tab is mainly associated with the MasterLink.

As you said when you registered a very long time ago via the registration URL it would have provided you with an encrypted username which is stored in the registry. So if you have a backup of your old system or of your old registry those items could be restored.

Any ideas before it goes back in the box for another day? Is anyone actually using a Beoport successfully based upon a (much) earlier Beoplayer install?

I have and use Beoport/Beoplayer on my 64 bit Windows 7 which works fine.

The only issues relate to the N-Radio where many of the stations are available to select, but never connect. In the UK selection all the BBC stations work and a few lesser known also work, but most just sit trying to connect which almost certainly means the linkage to the station was removed.

In fact back in 2005 I actually helped B&O debug their software and it took a long time before it became a useable product.

Hello everyone, I’m a returning member (same username and information from last forums). I still have a few months of active gold membership from the last site. Also, yesterday I was visiting with a friend who is also on these forums, and he thought that I had won a prize draw at one point in time. Is there any way I could check that?

Can you please tell me your friends Beoworld username and when he thinks he won a prize?

Good day Keith,

Not so much a problem but feature request/knowhow.

Q. How can I get the last post to a topic to be top of the page as default?

Cant seem to see an obvious answer.

Thank you

Well, you will be surprised to learn that is exactly how I had the forum setup when the new forum started. The latest post appeared directly under the question. However I had so many complaints that people apparently could not find the last post that I changed to it to what we have today.

It was for that reason I implemented the up an down arrows to get to the top and bottom of the current page.

I feel I am in a no win situation with this one!!

I think the question I would ask is it really a Mark 1 Beolab 3500 or is it a LCS9000 which looks exactly the same, but the early versions had modified software?

Check the B&O label in the back..

Is it really just as simple as that to change the voltage input?

Yes it is..

Most older B&O products use transformers with at least two primary windings. When these windings are placed in parellel then it uses 110 volts and when in series its 220 volts..

In this case they have gone beyond or extended the two primary windings to allow voltages of 100 & 120 volts with 230 & 240 volts.

[Keith Saunders]

Mark,

I can confirm that Lee is fine, but for sometime now he has been working on a new project unrelated to B&O.

I will let Lee give you an update when he is ready..

it is not your password. When you posted a pic here or in an other forum you find the most pics in google search again. Then everybody can copy that pic and can use it. That is not under the law but the most people give it a sh*t of that.

You may think no one cares about the image copyright laws, but many large organisations have departments or external companys working for them who go around web sites including ebay to check if any of their images are being used without permission.

When they find an image posted by an individual or organisation they will normally contact them and request either that they remove the image and delete the image or pay a copyright fee. If the person or organisation declines to do either option, then expect a lawyers letter.

Over the years Beoworld has had many (greater than 20) letters about images posted on Beoworld with a couple ending up with legal letters and potential court action.

If you look HERE on the UK government web site it gives a good overview of the law.

The copyright laws are similar in the US with the major difference being that almost all large corporations have people checking for copyright infringements.

The bottom line is if you created the image in any form, then you own the copyright unless you have sold or given permission to use it.

So, if you have made the image you post on Beoworld, no problem because you posted you own image.

I have had all my Beocom 6000’s Mark 2 connected using VOIP for some years without a problem. I am not on Virgin, but my comments below relate to any ISP.

There is fundamentally two methods you can use with total success and they are:-

1. Use a Router which has analogue sockets such as the Draytek 2830vn (Shown below)
2. Use a Cisco SPA112 two line phone adapter (Interface shown below)

I use method number 2 and have a free SIP account with Sipgate.

Other points to note is that BT uses (3) wires at the master box. Pin 3 on the master box is ring indicator which in the master box is linked by a capacitor to one of the line wires and two wires go around your house to slave sockets. If incoming calls are not ringing, then your problem is related to pin 3.

Both options above get over this problem because their outputs are as if you were plugging your phone into a BT master socket. Also check if you are using 2 or 4 wire RJ11 cable, you need four wire.

It could be the battery given you say it drained when left overnight.

If you do decide to change the battery the instructions of how to do it are below

[Keith Saunders]

Yes, but they are only going to make 20 available for purchase!!

[Keith Saunders]

You don’t say what kind of issues you are having with your Beolab 5?

Based on the B&O web site there are only two partner company’s in Illinois with one in Chicago and you can get the address and phone details HERE

[Keith Saunders]

When you try and read a CD does the disk make a small movement, then the words “Pause” appear in the display. If yes, then the laser is 99% the problem.

For the Mark 2 & 3 the laser assembly can still be obtained. However, if you have a Mark 2 BS9000 there are two different laser assemblies.
