have you tried the Beoport stand alone with the computer?
Not yet. But do you mean with Powerlink speakers or alone with earphones?
Location: Paris FranceOk, trying with LP1 I had differently inconsistent results.
LP1 respond to Beo4 (still no eye) to select source and stand by the system. Not to volume control (volume commands are “taken” by the BL3500), Pressing CD brings the CD source on LP and GO start the playback of the first track. But when you want to skip to the next track, it skips to an track from the iTunes library (with a certain logis I’ve not yet concentrated on but it’s always the same tracks).
New thing when I change source, the right source is display on LP1 but with no sound and it brings the macOS system preference dialog upfront.
Also I can’t select PC from the remote…
Location: Paris FranceIn the meantime, something happened: this is kind of working!
I cannot remember where I was but at a certain point, sound came up from the 3500. No IR eye, 3500 ML to Beoport, Mac sound out to BP sound in.
Well, at a certain point I was able to skip tracks and control volume (on the BL3500) but none of the change was reflected in LP2.
After the I was also able to skip tracks and navigate the library with the Apple Remote and then, change were reflected on LP2. Note that B&O volume on LP2 is independent from Beolab 3500 volume, i.e. not linked.
So tha was as if the Mac din’t see the beo4 commands but the 3500 did. and when using the Apple remote it did work.To shut the system down I had to do a very long press on the beo4 red dot, or the lab 3500 wouldn’t go to stand by.
Clock is displayed on the stand by screen of Lab 3500.
BUT
Now I dont work again. Chossing a source on the beo4 remote just display it for a second and the speaker clicks out.
Starting playback from LP2/AR doesnt wake up the Beolab…
Zut !
Location: Paris FranceI did remember that Guy told me the wiring for my MCL2A IR eye is not the same. So I used his advice: the IR eye shows the red light and react to the remote commands (other led blinking) but doesn’t pass commands to the Beoport. LP2 also doesn’t deter the eye.
Location: Paris FranceI also had some cases where closing LP2 starting BM link and using that, then closing it and starting LP2 would help get things going. Havent seen a pattern in when what helps yet though.
I’ll try that.
Location: Paris FranceThanks Madskp.
Tried to wire up an IR receiver but it does nothing and LP2 not even detects it.
Had to dig out a Beo4 with N.things.
Trying up now.
Location: Paris FranceFirst try:
Beoport connected to the computer in USB and Mac Audio Out to Beoport Audio In.
Bl3500 (Opt 6) connected to Beoport via Masterlink.
The Mac is declared as Audiomaster in LP2.
The Beoport seems to be seen because the windows says SW 1.3.
Also the volume indicator from LP2 change when you turn it up or down.But no sound, no reaction from the BL3500. No clock either.
I’m soldering a mini jack to an IR receiver to see if it changes something.
Location: Paris France“The Eagle has landed…”
Location: Paris FranceIR Eye disconnected, Beolab back, still nothing
If I press N.Source it displays it for 1 second on the BL3500 screen and the speaker turns itself off immediately.I have tried also LP1 that clearly allows to put the PC2 in OPT.0 (Same configuration as with the 1611, I guess) but also nothing at all.
I’ve used this for the IR eye wiring. Its a square IR eye (MCL I think) that works with the Beolink Passive. Anyway, I’d like to use it without IR eye, through the 3500 IR receiver…
Location: Paris FranceHi, I’m not dutch but can still answer 😀
A friend of mine ordered surrounds delivered to my house.
But he misspelled the address and the parcel get lost.
Audiofriends, while knowing it was an error from our side, sent the order another time to the right address, at no cost, not even shipping fee.I doubt they tricked you.
Here his the email address I have: webshop@repairyourspeakers.com
Please let us know.

@matador Wouldn’t it be better looking if you also design/print (with black PLA/PETG/ABS) the top panel instead of using piece of black cardboard cut to shape?Yes it maybe would be. The thing is I dont undertsand anything in PLA/PETG/… plastics and I rely on an remote 16, hormonal dependent teenager for the printings. Then as soon as the wood grills were on the speakers I stopped research!
Location: Paris FranceThe small clamper version is shinny and the big clamper is mat.
EDIT: unless you replace the whole fascia, sorry.
Location: Paris FranceThank you drmichi for showing us your work.
Nice shade of wood and beautiful Beocorner you have there.Enjoy.
Location: Paris Francethus flashing light reflections from the surface (depending on CD artwork), and therefore risks triggering epileptic fits?
I think I’ve read somewhere that it was for safety reasons because the spinning disc was too exposed to Beochild fingers.
Location: Paris Francethe machines with the small clamper had a curved track for the laser, whereas the machines with the big clamper had a straight track.
I believe that the curved tracks laser mechanisms are more reliable.
In all cases a deep cleaning of the eye (lens up, lens down and mirror) should bring back your laser far more often we believe. I’ve cleaned last month the one I took out of a BS9000 MK2 three years ago an it is now spinning perfectly well.Location: Paris FranceIs Type 2671 ok, or should it be avoided as it seems to be the first type for BS3000.
This is to be confirmed by a more expert member but, I have and have seen many, many Beosound 3000 with fried eprom or IC or whatever is called that chip. It dies and your Beosound just become a brick with a red dot, doors that open and close and thats it.
Most of them (and mine) had the small clamper but I dont know if it’s really related to this.
A guy nearby claims to sell eeproms for repair but I wont play with this.Mine was pristine and now houses the guts of a Beocenter 2300. Happily!

Location: Paris FranceFour buttons: Light, Audio, Video and “all” in the center.
You press to turn on TV, Radio or Lights and long press ton turn them off.
Long press in the center turn off everything.The idea behind the A9 Keyholder was that when your leave your Beohome, you longpress the key holder and it shuts down all your stuff.
No volume control, hence my comment on background listening…
Location: Paris FranceI’m reading carefully.
Looks like we’re gonna write the next B&O related book: “B&O black boxes mysteries revealed”. 🙂
Location: Paris FranceYou literally take the words out of my mouth! Yes.
In background music listening scenarios, where volumes are set, this is the perfect… Key!
