The shield is actually really difficult to remove but, instead, I used some tiny probes and my multimeter to probe the IR RX pin on the ribbon cable connector on PCB58. It reads 5V when idle and then when I use my Beo4 remote to issue the “Go” command, it quickly drops to 4.6V. I’m guessing that means the IR sensor actually is working and maybe the fault is higher up the chain. The search continues. Any other advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding and telling me about this. I had thought about removing the metal shield but I will go ahead and do that (after I try checking that it hasn’t somehow switched to option 0). If it is the capacitors under the shield, I am guessing those would be surface mounted components since the back of the PCB has no through-holes in that section?

Thanks again. This is my only B&O product so it really helps to hear from someone with more experience. I tried getting help from the CRT TV enthusiast community but it seems that B&O TVs are such a different kind of product that the regular CRT TV enthusiast community can’t really offer much help for issues like this. Thanks again!
