Well, the tuner has preset adjustments which may have been changed causing the problem.
Also we are not 100% sure of the model type because of the damaged label, but we could find out for certain by putting the unit into test mode.
To put the unit into “Test Mode” do the following:-
- Unplug the unit form the mains outlet wait 2 minutes
- Plug unit into mains outlet and within 30 seconds press DOT 2650
- The display will show 8888 when unit is in Test Mode
NOTE: DOT above means standby button
When in Test Mode press 08 to display tuner variant
- 0 in display means tuner error
- 1 in display means EU but not UK
- 2 in display means UK
- 3 in display means USA
- 4 in display means Japan
You will need to get a copy of the service manual if you want to check the tuner adjustments as its not that simple.
The Beosound Century was configured depending on market area and can be checked by the four digit type number:-
- Type number 2651 is EU countries excluding UK and had FM Only
- Type number 2652 is UK and had FM, LW, MW
- Type number 2653 is US & Canada and had FM, LW, MW
- Type number 2654 is Japan and had FM, LW, MW
If you have a type number 2651 then MODE change will not work. Please check type numbers. If it is one of the other type numbers then the instructions you were using are correct. See below for confirmation.
The short answer is Yes
The long answer is most older B&O products had mains transformers with two primary windings.
When the two primary windings are put in series its for 220 volts and in parallel for 110 voltsThe CDX has such an arrangement as you can see from the image below taken from the CDX manual. Apologies for the poor image quality
You will not find the software on-line because B&O just added it to the recovery partition. You then go into the recovery via the BIOS. However as your disk apparently has totally failed you will need to get an disk image from another Beomedia 1
To build on Guy’s comments, the following may help you..
BeoCom 2 Basic and BeoCom 2 System have the same hardware and look the same.
Only the software is different.BeoCom 2 Basic = software version 1.3
BeoCom 2 System = software version 2.2A software readout on the display is made by pressing following keys on the BeoCom 2 keyboard:
9#9#9 then INT then OKBeoCom 2 MK II is different from BeoCom 2 Basic and BeoCom 2 System as it has a smaller contact plate
on the plug for base/charger.

I can log in to the archived forums but no pics there, nearly all of my threads are worthless without threads. 2012 we had the same problem but asking Keith he would bring back the pics asking thread for thread, I then had the disaster with Photobucket, I brought back nearly all the pics, just missing a few threads when this happened. When the archived forums came on here I went there with the idea to save all my threads somewhere else, but again no pics. And as Martin I miss my PMs. Disappointed.
No images are missing from the latest archive forum, but if an image was in a post it is now attached. Just click the attached image to view it as below
