      Breaking News (like if my last post brought me bad luck)…

      The remote does’nt even last few hours nor even minutes. I used it today in Apple TV mode and after few clics both went dead.

      I suspect this being related to the aTV IR command but I dont know how to tell for sure.

        A little feedback on the CS batteries,

        They are still running fine but they discharge a lot faster than in the first weeks of use.
        To the point that I need to have two Beo6: one on the table the other on the charging dock. Average swapping is two days.

        I’ve also noticed that it never charge at full: on the Beo6 red battery indicator there is always one or two millimeters black even though the remote sits on its craddle for days.

        For the record all Beo6 are full of third party IR codes (Samsung & Apple) and all screens use full screen images.

        Nevertheless, those batteries are still the better option to date.

          Another flat fallen joke: I did’nt see the attachment and your message only reminds me the scene in “Le Mans 66” when Ken Miles advices Leo Bebee from Ford about how to improve the Mustang…

            With regard to the sports vehicle I recommend this. Better aerodynamics, more impressive, more sportive (24 hr world record 1,250 km  exactly this type), price only 7 to 8 H 100.

            […] And you would still buy a Chevy Chevelle, and it’s a F* terrible car?

              Is that a Lar-Bang-ini A1 in Moss Green color behind you?

                I must say that as an auto-sense line-in device connected to powered speakers, it worked 100% absolutely perfectly.

                Then you are both lucky. Mine is a little bit “temperamental”. Appart from the issue described above (needed to turn off Auto Airplay Connect on all the phones from the house but not sure yet it solved the problem…) it also not always revert to airplay after playing a record (meaning auto-sensing the analog input).

                  I found these in my downloads, not sure who is the author. Maybe it will help some of you. *Edit: I uploaded it to Makerworld.

                  Now it’s done but the least would have been to ask permission to do that.

                  If I’ve decided to make them available to Beoworld only and not on any random STL files platform, its for a good reason: Beoworld gives and you give back to Beoworld.

                  If you take time to read the full thread you’ll know that those clamps have been stolen again an again and even to be shamelessly put on sales.
                  First it’s a steal and a scam and second, it takes trafic away from Beoworld that needs people to come here for clamps and start a new passion that will feed the forum and then all of us.

                  Anyway, if you’re sensitive to all of that, please remove your upload. Me as moderator will delete your link since the files are now again available on the first post.

                  Regards.

                      Hi everybody,

                      The STL files were available to download to everyone free. The change of platform for the forum, I beleive, has broken some links or made unavailable attachments, thats why you can not see the stl files that use to be there.

                      In the meantime, I’ve seen the clamps I designed, available for sale everywhere even to the point they give the Ikea-like guide I’ve also designed.
                      The ownership of the clamps may be questionnable (anybody trying to made his own clamps will inevitably end with that design…) but the instruction diagram is clearly a steal.

                      All that being said, I just can’t answer each individual request and send the STL’s by mail.
                      And this without saying that some request are at least “dry” and sometimes even rude.

                      So I’ll check with Multicare if the attachent feature is off or if I just need to reupload the files, but until then you all just gonna have to wait or, if you’re in a hurry, buy them to a fellow that did download them for free some month ago.

                      Sorry if I’m bitter, and sorry you all, nice people, have to undergo the consequences.

                      M

                        I must say I am glad/surprised to hear Millemisen has had it be reliable.

                        I’ve read a lot about the unreliability of the B&O wireless connection.

                        My Playmaker is wired because just near a router so I can’t really testify. But I4va also a Beolit 12 that to my knowledge share the same guts than the playmaker and it as prove to be quite good and consistent.

                          I just connected a 1611 to a Beolab 3500, and the clock did not show up, so I guess it might have been with the Beolink PC2 you registred that.

                          Totally make sense. I should have confused both experiences.

                            Thanks Guy,

                            I’ve found a similar option in my older iOS, something about “ato connect to airplay devices”.

                            I’ll try in the following weeks if it still react that way and will report.

                            All the best.

                              I’m not sure but I might remember that when I tried the Beolab 3500 with the 1611 box it did display the time.
                              But I may be confused with the use of the Beoport that for sure display the time taken from the computer connected to it.

                                Many mentions of B&O products in the Danish, Aarhus based TV Show “Dicte”.
                                Each time it is used to underline de wealthyness of a character when police visit his appartment: “He must be rich, it’s B&O TV !”

                                No captures sorry…

                                  Can’t see iphone’s music libray in the B&O App and can’t follow guidelines found on Beoworld Forum: no option for itune’s library, only streaming and HomeMedia.

                                  Thanks.

                                    (incorrect temp sensor reading preventing the charging?)

                                    Very dumb and ignorant assumption from me but yes, I believe the main problem could be here. I’ve tried lots of batteries that didnt work inside the beo6 but that worked well outside as regular batteries.

                                      Thanks Millemissen.

                                      I need to add that the phone is used as just a phone and does not play any role in the setup beside the iTunes Remote app that allows to browse the iTunes library on the Mac mini so n direct connection between the first two.

                                        Sorry to say , and I “might” be wrong, but the answer is – NO –

                                        BS3000 Small clamper are well know for “fried IC” issu.

                                        I Believe there is a solution, involving buying new, custom made IC’s but I think it not worth the hassle.

                                        I Sympathized (got one too that made a very good facia for a cheap and aesthethicaly wasted BS2300.

                                          Hi alls,

                                          Two weeks of usual use without problem.

                                          The sleeping room one notably ,that used to have problems with Apple Remote IR commands that drains the battery instantaneously is now working well.

                                          Regards.

                                            I respectfully disagree.

                                            I believe that for any B&O enthusiats the difference between vintage or not is quite clear.

                                            I also tend to think that the new organisation “by product line” is not efficient.

                                            I reckon it may be because of old habits from the previous forums.

                                            My two cents…
