You can make one - I think one of our members has done so. However a small external one will probably be much easier - you can get datalink to work using a separate wire.

The 170W is what it will consume at full power. So if you imagine it producing 60W of power, and imagine the heat it produces (Class AB produce a fair amount of heat!) and the other little bits (lights etc), it soon adds up! It will drive most speakers well though - you only use a couple of watts most of the time !

Not very much - $60? I would keep it just for the look!

Do headphones work?

Thanks to the generosity of Graham, we now have the Beolab 2000 service manual on site.

You need a very small screwdriver. Pins 6 and 7 unscrew - you will notice they have a small slot in the end of them. Chris has a good suggestion in that you should tape them to the lead once unscrewed.

Think: Picture in Picture The ability to show 16 programs on the screen at one time or a freeze frame set of 16 pictures from a tape slowly moving. Indexing of the contents of a tape by showing the opening frames

For the US, this is a must have product! For the UK, not so much.

Of course you got the TV and VCR and centre speaker as well! It was sold in the US because they did not get the same range and it meant that they could sell Beolab speakers in an

Well I suppose an MX3000 or MX5000 would be the choices. I wouldn't touch a 3000 with a barge pole though so maybe a 3500 - this might not work properly though as it was designed to go with the VX5500 and the P-i-P module was designed to be in the TV. I have a VX5000 and it does not work very well with the LX6000 I have for just this reason. The
