Also if you mind, a link to the poster you would like to have.
Thank you.

Hi,
No. Airplay is the way to go, through Apple boxes or (if you’re that sensible to soud quality – I can’t advocate for it, but…) B&O devices like Playmaker or Essence.
Compared to BT any should be better.

Hi,
I reckon hcraig advice: try to repair it by yourself before dumping it and raplace it with an unknown specs driver.
It is scaring but lost for lost, if you succeed, then… Mmmmmmmm.
Lots of threads and step by step tutorials on BWII and BWI.
Good luck.

Oh, I forgot that one!
Happy Birthday B&O (and to myself by the way 😉).

Search the old forum and also maybe that one. It is all well documented.
Nevertheless I reckon I keep a Beolink 1000 with “shift” key only for that purpose.

Yes, capacitors are a problem at a moment or another.
But before, maybe you should carrefully check connections and the cable with all the tapehead wires.
I assume you have correctly clean all the contact parts and you tried with different cassettes, right?
Good luck.

Hi Michael,
First, your remote is a Beo5 not a Beo6.
Sourcing good batteries for these remote is quite a challenge. Some are good and will work as expected, other may run dry just after few clics.
Some that work well in one remote can last only few minutes in another remote. No solution to the problem as far as i know.If your remote has not been custom programmed you can switch it to standard mode:
In the setting menu (red dot+center key) choose “config” then you can choose between “custom” or “default”.
“Default” will load a standard config with common commands for any Beosound/Beovision/Beocenter device.Then you can use the remote while patiently learning and crafting your own program.
I’d like to add that if you only own a Beosound you’ll go into too much trouble by using this remote.
A Beo4 is a wiser choice really. I love Beo5/6 and it is really central in my setup (Sound/TV/Lights/ATv).
But I ended up with two remotes taking turn on the charger to have a least one working and in the other room where it is used, the remote is always on the cradle and when I need to use a command relying on several clics, I need to rehearse the sequence before to be sure to clic it all before the battery dies.Good luck.

13 October 2025 at 14:16 in reply to: Beo5 programming: can I dedicate some commands to separate systems #70396Long time since I have play wit a Beo5/6 but as far as I remember, commands can have a “video” or “audio” prefix.
Moreover, if you press TV, the remote should be in “TV” mode and send TV commands. Same for “CD”.It should work the same way a Beo4 would do.

I second Tignum advice,
It would be easier and more efficient to recloth an “anycolor” pair. It will cost the money for a pair a pantyhose and a double side tape, plus a couple of hours of work: the procedure is very well detailled in the BWII (or I) forum.
Obvisously any original cloth will be transparent and ugly by now, just look at the fabric on silver Beovision Avant.
That would mean you need to recloth it anyway.Location: Paris France
Beosystem 7700 works the same way: Led meters on only in REC mode.
That’s a bit dissapointing since all the gorgeous pictures in catalogs are with the meters on.

Lot of documentation in BWII including a comprehensive guide from a fellow beoworlder.
Also lot of threads, templates, tips and tricks and also free codes.Learning to program the remote is not an easy ride but it is very rewarding: Play with it and come back here with specific questions once you’re really stuck.
Have fun!

Hi,
If you still have the BeoSound 2 charger I would be interested to purchase it of you if you have no use for it. Happy to pay packing and postage cost to Australia.
Regards
JOHN
Hi John. Got one. Let’s talk in PM if you’re still interested.

How many % should I scale it up?
Common Issue, yes. Documented in the thread. I can’t rememnber right now but it must be like 10%, 100% or 1000% = A multiple of ten.
Again, the size of the final object is shown in the thread: please read it all!Location: Paris France
Not a really helpful answer but yes, the driver might be dead, I’ve had one dead myself. And they’re special drivers, not traditional drivers with membrane and difficult to source.

Well, no luck.
After multiple resets and pairing after unpairing the issue is still there: As soon as the music stop (end of an album), when the music resume the sound is chopped.
I then need to select another sound output and the Beolit 20 again to have continuous sound.(the issue may be on the Mac side since it sometimes ask me for a pincode to connect to the BL20).

Thank you Mads,
Make sense since it is a rented home.
I’ve reset the unit and it seems to work right now. But I will report on the long run as it seems to me to be a usefull intel.
This is Beoworld!

I so much in love of the design.
I bet you are! Those things are so beautiful next to any plant specially gold ones. And the silver plus marble! OMG.

Hi,
More likely a touch screen default that is not “usual” but “common”.
AFAIK, no easy solution: dead is dead.BUT!
I own a Beo6 with totally unresponsive touch screen and have program it like some sort of Beo4 and it works well.
You’ve got like 18 hard commands to play with and if you can program the remote to display the commands like the beo4 screen would, in color and in full 360×240 pixels!
Heaven…Hope this helps.
