The Beo4 was the replacement though you lose some features. The BL5000 is however still available, as Phil says. The BeoTime is not a very useful remote control! Good timer though!

You need to reset the options - at present it will be option 0 - you need option 1. Put everything into standby. On the Beo4, press the red dot and menu at the same time. Then with the list button go to option setting and say Go. Go to A.OPT and type 1. A LED on the 3000 should blink. It should then work fine!

February's edition of Hi-Fi News has an article about someone in the UK with a fully Frede restored Beolab 5000 system - described as the only fully complete system in the UK. Well I suppose I have given away the reel to reel deck but I do have the rest! And I think several of us do! Is Mark a member here? Well worth the price of entry (apart from

The grille is often held on with magnets though sometimes there are plastic clips. The woofer

In that case it is most likely to be the cartridge. There really isn't much else it could be as the wires from the arm essentially go directly to the DIN plug.

Suggest you ask the company that sells this. You could designate the 2300 as something else I suppose.

All in favour of saving energy but the addition of a switch on the power cord is not what I would expect! I would suggest that some form of battery back up allied to a motion sensor would have been the high tech solution, allowing the system to be switched back on to mains power remotely and also not disrupting the PIN system. I believe global warming

All melting here - causing water to come through the roof as the central gutter between my two roofs is full of ice! Back on the roof again and cleared it - that is twice in a month - too often!!
