Hi David,
The official service manual can be found in the Products/Beogram section, available for Silver or Gold members.
Just upgrade your account, it’s not expensive, you’ll get the manual and help Beoworld.
Kind regards,

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.
