Unfortunately no image as I did spot this recently in the cinema:

In French movie „Cocorico“, in Germany „Oh la la“ – by the way a very amusing film – Christian Clavier as Frédéric Bouvier-Sauvage (an aristocrat living in a castle) played a record using a Beogram (3000?) and a Beomaster 3000. We could not see any Beovoxes. Very well selected!

Good to hear your fun with new gear!

Hallo Maximilian,
perfekt, danke für die schnelle Antwort! Stimmt, Du hast ja extra alles für einen BL aufgelistet, da hab ich zu schnell drüber gelesen 🙂

Klingt vielversprechend, da kann ich mich endlich mal wieder am Lötkolben austoben.

Viele Grüße!

Hallo zusammen,

es macht immer wieder Spaß hier zu lesen und es gibt viel Hilfsbereitschaft, danke MadMaex für die praktische Liste!!!

Ich habe zu dem Reichelt Einkaufskorb folgende Fragen:
– es steht da 4xBeolab 8000, ist das die Liste für einen, zwei oder vier Beolab 8000?
– Und, ist das eine Liste nach der Originalen Spezifikation, oder entspricht das einer Verbesserung, die sich jemand (Die_Bogener?) sicherlich nach bestimmten Kriterien ausgesucht hat?

Danke und Euch allen einen schönen Feiertag!!

Hello all,

this is similar what I have the last days! I wanted to modernize a non B&O TV set which I have next to the (still well running!) BeoV 7. I will buy a new TV for that room but want to improve first the sound. As the Beosound Theatre increased in its price by 40% I have no interest any more and came across the Loewe Soundbar:

https://www.loewe.de/en/audio/dolby-atmosmultiroom-sound/dolby-atmos/klang-bar3-mr/70600

It has exactly these features which I was till searching for, HDMI (e)ARC, control via one remote, additional plugs for active LS like our Beolabs.

Yes, drawback: using a B&O remote and control of a stand is missing

I’m looking forward to your first impressions!

EDIT: and here a video about the features (in German) – it could be a solution working together with Beolabs

Hallo zusammen,

ich finde die BL6000 super. Ich nutze sie als vorne Links/Rechts neben einem Beovision 7-40 zusammen mit dem BL7-2. Letzterer, den ich auch schätze, liefert für mich ausreichend (manchmal sogar zuviel Bass), (und das nicht mal rumpelig wie bei vielen Surround Setups, sondern wirklich sehr gut)

Jedenfalls, in der Tat, die BL6000 sind schön schlank und mindestens hierfür m.E. sehr gut geeignet!

Vielleicht schaffe ich nachher ein Foto. Hatte das Glück, eisblaue mit weißer Bespannung zu ergattern 🙂

Innenleben bzgl Schaumstoff Gammel ist sicher ein Problem, aber es gibt anscheinend nicht so viele Ausfälle wie bei den 4000ern, die ihnen ähnlich sein sollen (?). Ich finde sie auch besser als 4000er. Sie scheinen im Gebrauchtmarkt auch günstiger zu sein

Viele Grüße!

 

ps: @MM schönes Setup! 🙂

Hello, I missed to comment on that previously.

I notice the same problems on my BS5 after change to a new HDD (a SSD). The system works in principle after a cold startup (when power switched off in between). It is also ok when accessing the system frequently. It fails with the same description like done by Luc if there was much time between the access to BS5.

 

I think it is not a problem of the motherboard but of the Hibernation of the OS (Win XP embedded). I have to add that startup did also fail sometimes if a USB device is added (again an OS related problem). I read somewhere that this (USB attached) is not foreseen…

Best regards

Good afternoon,

many thanks for the answers so far. Guy, you are completely right, the issue with sw update sounds logically, also have seen that in the manual (also many thanks!). Then I do not even try this procedure, unless there is anybody who knows how to perform the sw update and who has this tool. I am pretty sure that no dealer is doing this any more.

Have a nice day

I have aBeogram CD 6500 where this procedure (replacement of this cap.) did work.

However, the symptom was that it did not play an original CD at once. If it was running vor ~10-20 minutes, being on temperature, playing a CD worked, sometimes only the latter tracks. This led me to the assumption that this cap.issue could indeed be the problem, and I was right.

Otherwise a major service may be necessary, but there I am no expert – like Dillen… 😉

Best regards !

That really has style, a good and very nice classic combination, cassette, the danish singer and a Beocord 8000!

[kirin]

The same wishes to you and also to all the others here! I always enjoy the videos, reviews but also all the posts here in the forum 🙂

[kirin]

Thanks for this information, that sounds interesting!

Hi all,

the left branch of the diagram would in principal be the functionality of the Beolink PC2 device?

It wouldbe interesting to have a generic driver for the BL PC2 to run it on Linux Systems

Best regards

Hello, this is indeed an interesting project! In my opinion these features were and are still desirable.

I have a question, also to all the others. I remember the DataLink protocol is well documented, also the control via IR. But I never found a similar description of the Masterlink protocol. I know about many attempts in the older forum threads and open source code (eg for arduino) many years ago, but I am not sure whether it is well specified or verified working. Maybe I did just not found it?

Beohacker, or did you reverse engineer it? If yes, can it be shared?

Thanks and best regards

[kirin]

Hello,

you said, reset the CMOS, did you check whether the battery has the correct 3V voltage?

I had one where I thought as well the mainboard might be dead but it was just an old battery

In case of mainboard, it might be interesting whether similar VIA EPIA mainboards could be used as well. meanwhile they got more and more expensive

Best regards

[kirin]

This is a really great job, also the BeoV5, which you posted already 2 years ago. I like these ideas and posts about them here in this forum!

[kirin]

PS @T.W.G.: unfortunately, being located in Bavaria it will be difficult to join. I wish you good luck, maybe you can convince anybody to stay in the cafe or you might get free spots on a Wartelist. Otherwise we have to go on collecting things and setting up proper museums at home and share them in the Flash-your-B&O thread!

Haha 🙂

I remember the ancient thread in the old forum where I wished to have the opportunity to be sometimes part of such a delegation of Beoworld forum members. I was also impressed by your travel by bike 🙂
