Hello KHX, could the problem/solution be with the ‘sync cable’?
From the Beolab 5 manual:
I hope to own a pair one day, but for now this helps in resolving,

Hello, on my 7-32 9331 it just works as described, using a normal ‘GO’ Beo4:
When seeing the above screen I press << << STOP and I get the screen here below.
Hope this helps. Johan

Hi jameswmunson, could it be that the back-up battery is dead?
Besides that, I do recall some BMs needed the STORE command to be made twice before keeping the settings. Maybe worth a try.
When the storing of the sound setting works, it will also store the volume setting at the time of storing.

Hello jacob117, not sure if it is ‘best’, but both the TV and the speakers support WiSA, right?

Hello Thomas, I believe the BM 5’s Windows XP limits this to 2TB. Check this thread: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beomaster-5-motherboard/page/2/, post #26061. Also see the instructions Jens Rendboell in post #21177.
Another option could be to let the BS5/BM5 (or Encore) play from a (larger) NAS/DLNA server, but I have no experience with that and a 4TB library.

Hi Khaos87, welcome!
BL8000s are nice speakers and worth to save.
Here: https://www.beoparts-shop.com/product/damping-foam-set-pair-for-beolab-8000/ you can find good quality parts. They appear to be out of stock now, but maybe worth to keep an eye on if DIY is not the way you want to go.

Hi, with you finding M4 thread, the 6 in 6 x 32.7mm must then be the diameter of the head of the screw.

Hi KolfMAKER, was hoping to find it for you in the service manual: only the screw specs are given.
The screws in the photograph appear much longer than the 32.7. Also, just two washers seem to be used. Hopefully someone can measure the springs for you.

Sorry H71BCD, you have no choice. This wonderful complete set MUST be cared for :-).

Hallo kronzilla, noem het een esthetische kans! Misschien kun je een foto delen van de situatie?
De kanshebbers die je o.a. noemt hebben in mijn beleving 3 verschillende ‘form factors’:
- wigvormig – BC9000/9300/9500 en BM3500&4500
- verticaal – BC2500 (evt BeoSound 3000)
- stapelbaar – BeoSystem 5500/6500/7000
Klassieke B&O ‘magic’ is te vinden in de vloeiende beweging van deurtjes of lades. Dit is wellicht het meest in het oog springend (en sowieso aanwezig) bij de verticale spelers. Ook de BC9000 en opvolgers hebben dat sowieso. Bij de verticale spelers gebeurt dat zelfs zonder aanraking. Bij de andere opties zie je deurtjes/lades alleen in de bijbehorende BeoGrams en -Cords.
De wigvormige spelers kun je op het apparaat zelf goed bedienen. Voor de stapelbare systemen (zeker als je alleen voor de BeoMaster gaat) hebben een afstandsbediening nodig (waarbij op te merken is dat de MCPs en de BeoLink 7000 ook erg eye-catching zijn).
De elementen van stapelbare beosystems kun je daarentegen naast elkaar plaatsen (alsook 3500 en 4500) wat de mogelijkheid geeft om het systeem lengte te geven, dat zie je niet zo vaak toegepast.
Een verticale speler als de BeoSound heeft verlichting van de CD, wat hem ook in het donker meer eye-catching maakt. De wigvormige en stapelbare elementen hebben dan weer veel rode en groene symbooltjes.
Zelf heb ik een BM7000/CD6500 combi en een BM4500, mijn keus zou vallen op een BeoSound 3000 (met grote clamper)! Belangrijk vind ik dat kabels onzichtbaar zijn weggewerkt.
Hoop dat je er wat aan hebt.
Groet, Johan

Hello dmacri, happy new year! Is your BM in A.OPT 0? Then it will not ‘listen’ to the remote’s IR signals directly. It will get its commands from the BS3 through MasterLink.
If so, what I would try is: (first power down other B&O equipment in the room to avoid messing up their settings). Then set the option of the BM7000 temporarily to 1 (A.OPT 1) to make it respond to the MCP6500, do the preset programming with the MCP, and set it back to option 0. Power everything up again (if needed).
Note that programming radio presets with a Beo4 is not that simple: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/using-remote-for-radiostations/
Hope this helps, Johan

I like to make it easier for the “next guy” that works on the equipment because it probably will be me ;-). Glitch

Hi KarstenS, the RCA connections are outputs. Check this https://soundsheavenly.com/music-input/17-beomaster-5-beosound-5-aux-usb-input-converter-also-works-as-pcmac-sound-card.html to use a USB port.

Hi suhy2, I can confirm that my BeoMaster 6500 and a BeoGram CD 7000 work perfectly together. A BeoCord 7000 will work too.
Mine are polished aluminium, and match visually too.

Hi suhy2, according the MCP 6500 manual, you need to press SET, to store the settings you want it to start with:
Hope this helps.

A little update of some of today’s tinkering: I found a left alone Airport Express that I connected to the optical input of the Core. Its only role is Airplay. In the BLC driving the main Masterlink network I assigned the A.AUX command to Optical of the Core. It is a command that is also available on older remotes, which is the reason why it is easier for me to use than using Airplay of the Core. System looks like this now:
I added the option settings of all the equipment too (for me to remember them ha).
Merry Christmas all!

Hello suhy2, welcome! That is a really nice set.
The BeoMaster 6500 does not have a hinged flap, the only controls are the bottom corners of the front panel. You will need a remote to do any settings (MCP 6500) and for daily control (here a Beo4 or BeoLink 1000 will work too). The BeoMaster 6500 is on standby when only a red dot is displayed. To get manuals, I would advise to become a Silver or Gold member of Beoworld. You will then have access to many (service) manuals.
