Hi,
Gold member have access to the service manual, where the disassembly procedure is detailed.
First, remove the glass panels. The glue is often old and panels may fall-off when the Beocenter is on service position.
And if they break it’s a real disaster since they are very difficult to find.

Hi,
I didn’t find the FAQ made by Keith in the old forum.
Here is what I found using AI.
Hope it will help.
Here is the information on recommended wallpaper dimensions for the Beo5 and Beo6 remotes.
Beo5 and Beo6 — shared screen resolution: 320 × 240 pixels
Both remotes use the same resolution. The Beo6 features a larger 2.8-inch screen compared to the Beo5’s 2.4-inch screen, but both share a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels.
This resolution is therefore the reference for any wallpaper or background image used in the configuration.
Recommended dimensions summary:
Full-screen wallpaper 320 × 240 px
Logo / standard icon 92 × 44 px (max)Square icon 72 × 72 px or 92 × 92 px
Image in 3-column layout ~120 px wide × proportional height
Format: BMP or JPG is recommended, ideally with a black background to match the dark theme of the remote’s display.

Hi Mark,
I was on a discussion with a french guy who tried to sign-in to Beoworld.
He said that it has not been possible since Beoworld doesn’t accept new french members.
Strange, isn’t it?
Kind regards,

I don’t think B&O has abandoned the VHNWI strategy. The VHNWI abandoned them or never bit into the strategy in the first place.
So if B&O do return to their “roots” (i.e. people with better-than average/slightly higher than average disposable incomes, don’t have bone-crushing mortgages etc..), do come home at 6pm (assuming Ai will not take their jobs…i.e. plumbers, electricians, skilled artisans etc) and do watch TV all night, I think with reasonable pricing, finance deals, trade-ins and CONTINUED good product line-up with frequent product refreshes…..I think they will do “Better”.
100% agree

Once one takes away any visual excitement , surely one competes with the other higher end audio brands? why would one buy B&O if that visual aspect has gone?
I totally agree.
For me, design, multiroom and “magic moves” are B&O’s signature.
Nowadays, when mainstream brands care about design and multiroom is a standard feature, beautiful mechanical moves are the only remaining “oddities” of the brand.
It would be very dangerous to put aside the last component of B&O’s DNA.

Hi Neil,If you prefer to keep the 6000s hooked to the Ouverture, option 1 on both products is the way to go.Then,
To get DVD:
- On the 8000: DVD
- On the Ouverture AV+DVD
To get Radio:
- On the Ouverture: Radio
- On the 8000: AV+Radio
If your preferred listening position is the same for audio and video, the best solution would be to hook the speakers to the TV.
If my memories are good, you could take benefit of the “central balance” function to enlarge the video stage
And this case, the AV key on source while selecting a source is no more necessary.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Yann.
PS: is the MX directly connected the Ouverture or is there a black box (converter) between the 2 products?

Hi,
Thank you for the testings you undertook.
The firmware versions of my BS1 and of Google Cast are the same as yours.
I power-cycled the BS and it appeared again in the list of devices. Strange but successful.
According to the B&O support, disabling Chromecast is done by a reset of the speaker (see the “How to activate the built-in Google Cast in my Beosound 1” FAQ).
Kind regards,
Yann.

Hi Mark,
When I try to upload a picture using the “insert image” key of the menu bar, the message “upload failed for xxx”.
I used small size jpg files in order to minimize the load on the server and they are uploaded without problem as an attachment.
But it is far less practical since you cannot insert images to illustrate your “words.
Where is my mistake?
It might be useful to add “how to” guide as a sticky note.
Kind regards,
Yann.

Hi Mark,
I cannot upload pictures inside a post.
When I try to do so, a message claiming “upload failed for xxx” is shown.
I reduced the size if the pics, in order to minimize their weight and saved them in jpg or jpeg.
How to do?
Kind regards,
Yann.

Hi,
As pointed out by Guy in another thread, this one is rather quiet.
So here is my contribution.
My setup includes products from the 80s to today.
The elder: Beogram 6006 bought in 1984. Latest arrival: Beoremote Halo bought in 2025.
Everything is connected in a Datalink/ML/NL network, explained in the attached schematic.
Bedroom 2: Beocenter 9500 with Beovox 4500 (Beoworld prize draw).
Study: Beolab 2500 connected to the NL/ML converter.
Technical closet: Beogram 6006 and Beocord 2000 Deluxe. Non-B&O sources on the right.
Playing on the Beogram: 1970s demo and testing LP from B&O.
Bedroom 1: BV9 and Beolab 6000 (Beoworld prize draw).
A nice way to wake-up.
Living-room, front : Theatre, Beolab 50 and Beocenter 2.
Living-room, rear: Beolab 8000. Halo for the 50s and Beo5 for Cabasse speakers connected to Beolink Passive.
The Cabasse speakers.

Hello Beofile and 10%,
What I understand in the explanations of the BL50 Technical Sound Guide is that narrow mode minimizes the influence of wall-reflections by narrowing the angle formed by the 2 moving wings placed under the acoustical lens. On wide mode, the wings are aligned so room-reflections are less reduced.
So, as 10%, I tend to think that Room compensation and beam width are linked.
I’ll stick to my plan.
Thanks for your help and kind regards,
Yann.
