Brilliant, thanks both, the renovation can now begin!!

[stotty1111]

Been listening to Red Cardell Running in Paris, track  Mandolino, on cd thro’ ouverture and Beolab 6000’s, they are a local band here in Finistere – regularly go to see/watch over the summer months, brilliant shows!

Mandolino is about the singer’s lady, a well played / used instrument just like his mandolin!

Back to some early Yardbirds later, they will be on tape tho’ again via the ouverture etc, will also try to get some photos later!

^  Thanks for the info, I feel a shipping order coming on!!

[stotty1111]

yeap , know about that!

[stotty1111]

So have re prog’d the tv and BS 4, still no sound from the 4000’s, so, tried ’em with my ouverture which is working fine, prog’d as a standalone, booted the system – still no sound from the 4000’s.

I assume there is a switching relay inside each speaker, is it mechanical or electronic, if the former may be accessible to squirt some cleaner on the contacts etc if the covers are demountable.

I await access to the manuals section for more info on the 4000’s!

[stotty1111]

Doohhh Mr Stupid here!!

Ok thanks for that!

I’m now off to put my head in a brown paper bag, it may work better in there!!  :-()

[stotty1111]

Ok, so the dot button I assume is the off button  on a Beo 4  —  am i correct?

I have a crib sheet somewhere, but I cannot lay my hands on it at the moment!

[stotty1111]

Have done a little work, speaker options are 3 fold, vid on 2 aud on 3 (the 4000’s), It all used to work fine, but now the speakers do not fire up so to speak  —  i have got the various sources working and producing sound when prog’d to option 1 , the tv speakers.

I have now found some pl cables, will try the 4000’s with my ouverture later!

[stotty1111]

When first plugged in is there not an indication on the inbuilt screen , 4 x * if so try inputing 4 x 0, that might work, the other route might be to contact b&o with the serial number and an explanation , they have in the past given me the original pin code

[stotty1111]

Best of Robert Palmer cd on an Ouverture through Beolab 6000 actives  —  excellent!!  😉

[stotty1111]

are the 2 x vent grills on the underside clear of debris, just a thought!!

Hi Yann,

The ‘sort of’ B&O  dealership in Nantes use 111 Services. I say sort of because they deal in a wide range of ‘stuff’,  not just B&O!

There is a dedicated B&O outlet in Rennes although my experience was a little negative, the owner got a little short with me because he would not give me any details of 2nd user tv’s. They at that time, 2 years ago, also used 111 Services in Nantes or so I was lead to believe.

I cannot find the relevant telephone numbers, addresses etc as they are filed in an old laptop, if time permits tomorrow or wednesday i will try to find said info!

[stotty1111]

I don’t know, the repair place did work for 2 x B&O outlets, the technician worked thro’ lots of suggestions from B&O all to no avail!

[stotty1111]

Ok, about a week on from the remote clean, and still no repeat of the problem, must have been the remote!

Thanks for all suggestions!  😀

[stotty1111]

It was a 7-40 Mk6, and had lost picture but the sound was ok!

[stotty1111]

I live in Brittany, Finistere, nearest B & O vendor is in Rennes, about 150 miles away, followed by Nantes 170, locally ‘stuff’ is a bit like hens teeth, dealerships are also a bit’snooty’ probably because my french is not top line!

Hey ho life’s a bitch!!

[stotty1111]

Hi Tignum

Sorry about my delayed response, other ‘stuff’ cropped up, I build and sail r/c model boats, and am known for solving probs with control systems. There are lots of times when I wish I wasn’t!

Ok, I will have a look later in the week and maybe decide to go with no foam. A friend thinks she may have a piece that might work, time will tell!

[stotty1111]

So, an undisturbed nights sleep, I assume the problem was remote based as I did not change any setting with the ‘system’. Time, pardon the pun will tell!

Thank you both for the input.

Tony

No hdmi sockets on the tv, scart used, with a computer connection, hdmi at the pc to dvi-i at the tv, and, basic boxes so no auto updates!

[stotty1111]

Ah could be, the control has been playing up recently, replaced batteries, sort of ok, stripped it down this morning and gave it a spray with switch and contact cleaner, it seems to be working ok now but maybe tomorrow when the solvent carrier has vapourised will tell me more!
