Hi both, just read this with interest.
My Beocord 6500 is also misbehaving. I’ve attached a video of what happens when I use Rew/FF or in this example Auto Record:

Oh. Wait. I can’t upload a video.

Well it sounds very similar. The head and pinch roller engage, a ‘painful’ whirring noise comes from the Beocord and the unit shuts down.

And because I have a Beolink set-up the BS6500 shuts down along with the BV7-40 and Beolabs 😄

The Beocord has new belts (a few months old) which I bought from Danish Sound Parts.

Any ideas? And @Grgur Pauker did you find a solution?

Thanks Mr Multicare!

So much taken in, learned some new tricks, met a glorious ‘samling af’ new Beofriends (go me with my Danish!) and have spent the latter part of this evening going through my photos. We should have a bumper set between us – something hopefully the other members can enjoy.
And finally, I must confess, I completely forgot to look through my ‘useful guide’ you made and handed out at the start of the visit…I found it in my pocket on the train back to Copenhagen. It was perfect and would have answered the same question I kept asking myself each day – where to next? Such a donut!

Genuine thanks for putting it all together and giving us all the best (ultimate nerd-out) visit!

We saw so much!!

Skål!

Hi Pete,

Try looking at Danish Sound Parts. This link takes you to their BC2200 page: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product-category/beocenter/beocenter-2200/
Hopefully this helps to solve your problem.

Good luck,

Pepps

Hi Nick, I cannot salute your match-up enough. Penta 3 love the BC 9300 and I like the sound of your streamer connection with Apple Express too!
Regarding the stand-by opton it’s something B&O designed into their products from this era, so it should be the best way. But I too go for periods where I shut down everything for a few days (Penta 2 and BS6500), often midweek, to allow components to cool off. Whether it’s right or not I don’t know, but it feels like I’m giving the boards and caps a break.
I’ve no idea whether it’s effective or not though.

Cue the next responder….

We might be in the same train 😆

Carriage 62. Seat 45.
Should be in 61 but my fellow passenger said it doesn’t matter so I stayed put.

I’m too comfy to move 😄. Had a few wines….
See you on the platform 🥳😎

Looking forward to a special visit and to meeting you all in person.

Cheers!

Enjoy your great machine!

Kind regards,

Hi Rolf – thank you for your reply. You know what I was very surprised at its size too. I foolishly assumed it would only a little deeper than a BM3500/4500! Ha! How wrong?!!! 😄

I must accept that yourself and @Matador are right in that the level meters are for recording only.
But. Imagine. What if B&O decide the BC9500 is the next model to be given the ‘reimagination’ treatment?
A little suggestion at the factory and it’ll become reality 🤪😄👍

According to the latest mail from Mark the visit to the Bremdal history collection is now (again) part of our tour.
It also seems that visiting the Bremdal Pre-Owned B&O store will be possible.

Thank you, Mark for that.

Indeed isn’t it fantastic news!!!
The itinery looks brilliant with some cool restaurants to enjoy after all the B&O goodness 👍🥳

Again I’m replying to myself!

I just set the cassette to record pause and BY JINGO there IS a level meter!!!!!
Why did they disable it during playback?

If anyone from Beoworld can share a secret button press combo to activate the level meter during playback I’ll post them a Twix!

Hello. With my set-up (BV7 & Beosystem 6500 with Beolink converter) I have the Beomaster in Op 0 (zero) and BV in Op 2.

I’m not sure if your Beolink 7000 can talk to the BV so you may want to stick with the Beo4 for films/tv watching and controlling your 9500. It’ll all work via the BV.

I love the tabletop stand with the BV7. Because it tilts up it looks so cool when it’s woken up 😎

I’m reminded of James Bond when he plays back M’s video message to Moneypenny in his London flat in Spectre. His (Sony – pah!) tv is mounted very low and looks very slick.

I used to have my BV7-32 on the floor but on the table stand when I was a Beobachelor 😄

I highly recommend a visit there!

That’s very disappointing. I fly home on 12th. My bad.

I think Steve (Sounds Heavenly) has a video showcasing this collection. You can almost smell that distinctive B&O power supply perfume from looking at the photos from Google maps 😊

I hope a few of you on the tour can find the time to make the visit.

Hello @nitro2

Couple of questions: what is the source? Is it a Beomaster, a tv or other line-level product?
If a Beomaster is used, what volume is shown on the Pentas?
What type of music? Does it happen all the time when any source reaches the same volume?

Now it is ticking almost perfectly. Just one thing: whenn I start the Apple-TV and PC on the BV, the sound is very weak and varies, too. Something to do with the settings on the Pentas?

I suspect the Apple TV has its own internal volume setting. Does your BV7 have an internal tv tuner you can use to test volume levels?

I have almost the same setup as you so I’m please you finally have correct sound in the main room.
Every time you make a change to any cabling switch off all mains power. These items delight in a shut down between cabling changes, and will not enjoy any cable changes while connected to power.
