GOLD MemberHi Max Deems,
Schematics are available to gold Beoworld members. These carry details on how to adjust the tonearm, etc.
Could be worth your while if you plan to repair more B&O.
Location: Kent, UKHi Woodewood,
Very odd behaviour. If it doesn’t make any difference to power it down for ten minutes and restart, I would expect an electronic element has expired.
It might be time to find a trusted service centre and have it inspected.
Location: Kent, UKThere should be no nylon washer – but in some Beocords you will find a bronze spring plate. Does the large pulley wiggle on the metal spindle? Has the thread on the spindle been damaged? Martin
Hi Martin – yes the large pulley does wiggle on the metal spindle. And on those wiggles the scraping noise occurs. The thread is ok as far as I can see.
I shall remove the nylon and see how the pulley reacts.
A small bronze spring plate should be easy enough to come by so thank you for that suggestion.Location: Kent, UKWas this Beogram moved to a different mains voltage area?
Good question. I’ll check the serial number and see if it’s an overseas model. I have very little knowledge of the origins of this and the other parts of the Beosystem. All new stuff to find out…..Replace the transformer and make sure it is set up correctly for the actual local mains voltage before connecting mains. Having siad that – if the Beogram suffered an over-voltage situation, some of the electronics may also have been damaged. Martin
Thank you Martin – I’ll hope for the best and try to find a replacement transformer.
Location: Kent, UKThank you 👍
Location: Kent, UK- Beogram CD4500: same as CD7000.
- Beogram CD3500: same as CD7000.
Just to clarify, the CD4500 and CD3500 have full touch controls and a digital out so may be worth considering as a good cd player in this setup. Plus they both have nice moving lids and look fabulous in the dark – it’s not just about the sound with B&O it’s the theatre too (no pun intended).
Location: Kent, UKI’d love to see a reissue of the Beocenter 9500, with a DAB tuner and Bluetooth. That would be superb!
Location: Kent, UKThank you! I really appreciate your help (thumbs up)!
Sure, no problem. Maybe let us know here if you got any further with that issue then.
Update: I bought a bluetooth receiver and connected that to the L&R audio input of AV5. Powered on and told the BV that AV5 was DVD2. Went to the kitchen and activated DVD2 with the Beolink 1000 (thanks to Guy’s old Beo4/Beolink 1000 shortcuts thread).
Youtube audio from my phone via bluetooth to the BV and through the BL Converter, through the BM and via MCL Xtra Speakers kit to the kitchen 😀
The desired outcome achieved.Julian
Location: Kent, UKLovely Beocave!
Location: Kent, UKWowwwww!! Very nice indeed!
Location: Kent, UKI have a good feeling about Beoworld – I’ve been a proud member of the forum for a long time, learned so much and expanded my knowledge and enthusiasm for all things B&O.
Dillen and Guy have been legends helping me repair my beloved Beosystems.
Onwards and upwards, always appreciating the creators and the caretakers.Welcome Mark. Thank you Lee andKeith.
Cheers everyone!Location: Kent, UKFingers and toes crossed for a smooth transfer.
Thanks for the update Keith ?Location: Kent, UKHi Alfa,
The 3500 is a great system, looks fantastic!
I have a similar issue with my BeogramCD too. If I gently press down on the rear top right hand corner as a cd is playing (on the grill not the lid) the hum stops. So I am inclined to believe perhaps the mounting of the power supply is old and needs replacing. I shall take a look inside soon enough.
It could also be due to a tired capacitor or two. These players are quite old now.
A cap replacement kit is available from the Beoparts store online.
I’m afraid I don’t know what might be causing your other issues with the Beocord and Beogram, other than to check the Beocord is correctly earthed.
The Beogram? I have no experience with the inner workings of these.Service manuals are available to Gold Beoworld members. Always a worthwhile consideration.
Good luck with the repairs!

Location: Kent, UKWoop! Woop! This has to go down as one of the best easy quick wins in Beoworld history!!
Location: Kent, UKHello,
There is an overview of each of these Beosystems under the ‘products’ menu at the Beoworld homepage.
The 5000 series is the oldest and uses a different style of IR coding – it cannot be controlled by Beolink 1000 or Beo4, for example.
The 7000 is the newest and has RDS in the tuner section along with 2-way communication when paired with Beolink 7000.
My personal favourite is the 6000 series – I prefer the polished finish over that of the 5500 series. The 7000 series remains out of my price range as it is often thought of as the last of its kind and therefore the most refined.Hope this helps you choose your favourite.
Julian
Location: Kent, UKI wish you the very best with this and will await your update. I don’t have any knowledge or experience to share with you sadly, but I hope you succeed because this is something I’ve been looking into for my BV7.
Location: Kent, UKUpdate and closure!
Dear all, thank you for your contributions and suggestions. Today I had some spare time (at last) so took both my Penta amps off the towers and set them out on the kitchen table. Took them both apart (only to the power supply stage) and compared the working one to the not working one.
I resoldered some rather bad looking connections and swapped out both fuses in the Penta (the 2A and 150A (140A was not available but read on here that 150A would be ok)) before resoldering in a new mains power lead.
Reassembled and tested.
Everything works perfectly!!Location: Kent, UKThank you! I really appreciate your help (thumbs up)!
Location: Kent, UKHi Beohacker,
I didn’t know that, thank you 🙂
So what is enabling the firestick audio when it does come through MCL to the kitchen? Because if the kids are watching a film off Netflix for example in the main room (via firestick) I can use Av, TV on the link room Beolink 1000 and listen to the audio from their film.
I can also cast music to the firestick from my phone and hear that in the link room, but only if the BV is on and TV is the connection in use.In this scenario the HDMI input is being broadcast via MCL.
My problem is simply getting this to work without having to go to the main room to turn the Beovision on to TV before coming back to the link room to cast music.
Julian
Location: Kent, UKHi Beohacker,
Thanks for your reply. It’s a mk5 type 9644. The HDMI inputs do allow digital audio via masterlink because the firestick, internal tuner and bluray audio can all be played in the link room.
My issue is with activating the ‘TV’ input from the link room.Julian
