Hi there!
I have service manuals in German and English. German version just looks nicer and it is not a problem for me since I can speak German. I haven’t yet started to study the manuals (they appear to be 90+ pages), so not really familiar as of now. If you could hint me to exact chapters which could be useful to checking those connections – I would greatly appreciate it.
My thoughts about this function being locked with remote came after researching some posts abound BeoSystem 2500 I found on this forum and archived version, where some problems like timers were discussed. Was not sure if this could be the case so thought that asking wouldn’t hurt. My version is the one with curved tracking, guaranty papers mention June 1992, so this is somewhere in the middle of production to my understanding. It says Type 2601 on the back of the unit with another sticker saying Type 2201, my guess was that this Type number is in relation to the BeoSystem as a whole and not BeoCenter itself, though I would be happy to know more =)
Since I had basically the same issues on Sony CD player I thought that dirt or dust on the laser could be to blame as well, how deep of disassembly is needed to clean the laser itself and not the lens which is seen from the front side?
I am excited to get this thing fixed, lubricated and enjoy it in its full glory. It is my first experience with B&O and I am so far really pleased with feeling of the unit and speakers =)
Best regards!
UPD. I have found the thread where you and Madskp seem to have closely related problems to my unit. Read through those threads and all those mentioned in them, appears that this CD problem could be not that small as I thought. At least now I have a bit of understanding on what should be done and in what order. In. my head looks something like this: replace all the belts, clean the laser eye, probably put it in test mode and check for errors, check all the possible connections and try to spot any cold solder joints while doing that, if the problem persists – then I will need to dig deeper and search for some failing caps. Seems like a small side repair in the sea of more complex ones I have already lying around is not so easy after all, but I will do my best =)
