      I am curious: is this functionality thru the Wi-Fi feature of the Beo6, or via the IR-emitters of the Beo6?

      As far as I know Beo6 Wifi only works with Beosound 5 and that’s it.

          Hi Matador, Copycat? Check here: https://www.leboncoin.fr/photo_audio_video/2509547503.htm

          Hi YannChris,

          Thank you for the heads-up.

          There are a lot of copycats around including people who just sell the clamps I design with the Ikea like manual but this one is not. It may be inspired but it’s not the same, it is deeper and rounder.

            It’s all said.

            I sympathise.

            Do what’s the best for you, we’ll do along.

            Thanks for everything You and Keith.

              From the B&O website (where you might expect some B&O products :-)), there is something strange going on in the beautiful home of Malene and Nikolaj. https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/nl/story/sounds-like-home-malene-and-nikolaj. In the video, at the end, the BG4000 is spinning backward! Does it need a fix? Are they trying to find hidden messages? Probably the editor prioritizing aesthetics.

              Definitely spinning reversed! Can’t see how it prioritizes the aesthetics though: no particular movement that could have been significantly different with the right motion…

                Canadian movie “Testament”. Another Beovox something coupled with a non B&O amp and deck or TV but all with style. By the way, very funny movie for anyone above 50…

                  That official picture from B&O Mediabank led me to investigate that topic.

                  I found out, after many cheap RIAA attempts something called TC4 was a quite good (for my ears) substitute.

                  Maybe blurred by the fact that it looks like THE one.

                  Anyway if you look for a cheap RIAA and you’re over 45 and not working in a submarine, I encourage you to try it. Avoid the ones that connects directly to mains: the transformer is inside the box and creates a rumble.

                      In the end it is this [multiples remotes] ….or that [a sole beautiful Beo4]:

                      Given you have an expensive Beovision TV set, an also expensive Beocenter Sound set, Beolights, Beothis and Beothat…

                      I reckon the integration is clever and very sexy but let’s understand this is not to everybody and that poor human beings having to deal with mixed AV systems don’t have to suffer the shame to have multiples remotes on the living room table.

                      Funny enough that nowadays Beoremote systems have to accommodate with third party TV brands just to keep that “one only remote” concept alive…

                      Don’t misunderstand me: Il love all being controlled by a Beo4 or a Beo6, but lets agree this not for everyone and be open minded.

                        Any special way to take it off the bracket or just tilt and lift off?

                        They should be screws in the top and bottom side like 30 cm from the side edges.
                        On the top side I think I remember they go through the bracket into the unit.
                        On the bottom side they are just like pegs sitting in a groove in the stand.

                          Thanks all for the kind words.

                          About the sizing: long time since I did this but the right size is somewhere around this thread. It’s usual to have to scale the STL mesh from 10x to 100x.

                          Please read all the thread!

                          About plastic: I don’t know enough. I think mine were printed in PLA because I’ve heard this term somewhere but I’m not sure, so I can’t really help there.

                            To second Pilatomic’s advice and with the same advices on personal expertise, I would say I remember a thread on the previous forum about reflowing some connections around the eye or something like that. Sorry to have no time to find it for you but IIRC it should pop up with obvious key words.

                            Hoe this helps or may I’ve time to help you soon.

                              This is the usual B&O table stand hooked to the wall.
                              Tilt and lift the main unit to separate it from the wall hooks part. See Below.

                                Absolutely stunning development. This is Beoworld! Thank you, tank you, thank you!

                                Except for the name… BeoTooth? Honestly, it scares me like an MLGWNL (whatever) box profoundly dug in my human body.

                                Jokes apart, you just made raise BM 5500 prices (jokes not so appart after all…).

                                  that looks like it has about 11 MCL transceivers

                                  Remove them carefully, sold them for a little or give them away to someone that will need them (I did tears ago…), and move on.

                                  Those things are good things to anyone who like them. For anyone coming from the “non-B&O world”, what you have doesn’t worth the hassle to understand it…

                                  … Unless there is something more in the closet!

                                    Had this once. Somebody replied with the “boot” sequence of a CD Mechanism. In short as far as I recall, if the laser don’t focus the motor will not spin.

                                    The best technique to perform a deep clean is to do a search on this very same forum!

                                    Tell us how it went.

                                      then ‘boom’, it just died.

                                      that’s the way death happens: it’s alive and then ‘boom’, it’s dead!

                                      Try a deep clean of the lens first, in the process look at the eye reference and then report.

                                        To answer the basic question of the title of the topic, trimmers are the variable resistors used to, in that case, adjust the idle current.. Find the service manual, the process is detailed and almost possible to anybody with a multimeter.

                                        The beomaster 5000 is a complicated piece but it really worth working on it.

                                        Godspeed.

                                          I Stobbie,

                                          Could you tell us where you get your batteries? Unfortunately all, I’ve tried an various Beo6 led me to no charging or very short (few seconds) battery lifetime. Even after reprogramming and with wifi turned off. So far I suspect a problem with the thermistor or worse with some weak component on the power circuit on the remote side but really I don’t know. And I also doubt all my four Beo6 would have the same defect.

                                          Thanks.

                                            Also it is VERY IMPORTANT to note, the Beo6 does not charge very well when connected to the USB on th PC. Make sure it is fully charged before to connect it to the PC.

                                            I would say this is the major issue with Beo 5/6: powering.
                                            If your remote battery is fine, which will be rare nowadays, no problem.
                                            But if it is weak or old, whatever you do will be complicated and useless.
                                            I own a lot of these remotes and “pretend” to know how to use and program them.
                                            The problem is just  that their battery management is so mysterious they dont work for more the a couple of seconds.

                                            AFAIK, no answer was given anywhere on that matter.

                                            Sad to say but to me Beo 5/6 are dead.
