apart from one (quite annoying) change! – I now MUST start radio from the app.
did you change your BLC settings (“IR Mapping”) accordantly?
I did now! And it works. Thanks again for your help Carolpa!
When I first checked the BLC settings, I could not find ‘B&O Radio’ as a source. It turned out that in the set-up menu of the Core all source tick boxes (‘at sources in local list’) were unchecked. I re-checked the tick boxes, and ‘B&O Radio’ (actually ‘B&O Radio’) showed as a source in the BLC’s ‘IR mapping’ menu.

After an update of the app (on iPad) I am also able to use B&O radio (using Millemissen’s tip to rebuild a list of favorites from the bottom up). Playing my stations seems to work well from Core through BLC onto MasterLink, apart from one (quite annoying) change! – I now MUST start radio from the app. Radio with not start with the (IR) remotes. Only after starting radio from the app, I can use Beo4 to select the station or move up&down. The Core keeps playing radio after I switch (my BeoLink Active) off with the remote, but stops when I want to start RADIO (again) with Beo4. Has anyone else such a set-up (and issue)? My Core is at software 2.1.5087122855122.
In the other thread (https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/new-software-edge-shape-core-bs1-bs2-a9-mk3-4/) I wrote that I corresponded with B&O about a similar problem (still with Tunein). I will see if there will be a change with any software update and let you know.
I am able to toggle between B&O radio and TuneIn, so for now I will use the latter that still behaves a bit better and does not switch off radio when I use the RADIO button Beo4.
Have a good evening!

Switching radio stations on the Core through Beo4 and MasterLinked products (using a BLC) did not work a couple of times now. After changing the radio station in the app however, it does work as normal. I will see if this persists and if I can replicate and influence and let you know. I did restart the Core and deleted and rejoined both the Core and the BLC to no avail.
I found out that after a full system switch-off (in the app, or with a long press on the Beo4) the issue arises: when I then choose RADIO on the Beo4, the last chosen radio station plays, but I cannot use the Beo4 to choose another station. Only after I change radio station in the app once, I can use the Beo4 again for changing stations (I use TuneIn btw). I will see if I can report this to the software team. Is anyone else seeing this too?
After some friendly e-mail exchange I received this answer: “We are pleased to inform you that yes it will be fixed in a future software update regarding the issue; the issue has been reported to the Product Development team, and they will provide a software update as soon as possible.”

That does not sound too unsimilar. Could you try to switch station once using the app, and see if it then works with BR1?

? Great that you got it working! And thanks again for posting how. Cheers, Johan

Beogogo, thanks for solving the mystery so other readers can benefit! But… you are the OP right? 🙂

An elegant way to introduce a second source would be through an additional BeoLink product with a Line-in connection.

Maybe with a DAC that has multiple inputs? I don’t know if that exists.

Hi N0nl1near,
The Core has Apple airplay, so maybe no need to connect the Airport Express? The ‘1 x Line-in (analogue & digital combo) with sensing’ is then free for your TV.

Nice to see a 6500 or 7000 pizza box on the work station! One of the test tools maybe?

Hoi KolfMAKER, I believe that’s three things :-)!
- I indeed used tape on the inside and the outside, the cloth folds over the notches and covers them. I did it because I was afraid I could not cut clean enough to ensure perfect covering of the sharp edges of the frame. I did not put a lot of tension on the cloth that covers the notches and the cloth is thin enough to ensure that the notches still work. I actually think B&O welded the cloth to the frame.
- it is just a bit of fiddling, the cloth is really strong. When you don’t push it down on the tape too hard at first, you can still peel it back off and correct. I am afraid that I was giving all my attention to the job and did not take too many pictures of it.
- I checked, see below – it was pre-cut, enough to do two 8000s and two 6000s with.
Akustikstoff have some info on their blog, with some images of results that look very good!
I did once read here on the forum that getting the covers to fit back 100% perfect, even when just taken off, is not an easy task. Still I think that a nice deep black reclothed fret, even when the sides and the top lid are not 100% flush, looks much better than a wrinkled, sun faded but flush mounted original.
Maybe you can make a little how to when you take on the endeavour?
Good luck, Johan

Hi, this book for the turntable afficionados out there has the 4000c on the cover!

Hi KolfMAKER, I posted some pictures a while ago when I fixed my BeoLab 8000s (and 6000s): https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/189/332850.aspx#332850. Unfortunately the photographs have gone (as Guy said already) but I still had them. I did use fabric from akustikstoff.com that to me is very nice material. In my view the limited stretch works much better than panty material that seems to have infinite stretch, but also can get too thin when stretched too much. I used akustikstoff’s standard black (10) fabric.
I decided to use double sided tape (HPX ultra mount tape) that is thin and very sticky to both the plastic of the fret and the cloth.
My frames were quite bad with the top flap and some of the clips on the side loose. The vertical long strips of tape on the inside of the frames I positioned deeper to make sure the working of the clips is not affected.
The flap in the top is the most fiddly part. But with a bit of patience the result will be much better than before. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello Matt,
Not so easy to judge from your description I think. You write that it has been reconditioned, would it not be an idea to record the noise (maybe even film the Ouverture when it happens) and ask the seller/reconditioner? I would say that if it was sold as reconditioned to you, it should be working flawlessly, and the seller should feel responsible for it.
Regards, Johan
