I use my 5000 system everyday too, although only for 10 minutes (it turns on at 7 and off at 7.10 in the morning). After this the ouverture is normally switched on for listening to radio, and in the evening I mostly use the MX6000...

Hmm, that's a hard one. Perhaps try asking in the Workbench section. Would be interesting to find a good solution for these tape decks, they are all getting old but I use mine quite often. best regards Christian

WOW!

I already got a pair of 2-way speakers but have installet the midrange/woofer from these in the back of my VW Polo (sounds great by the way). So the Midrange/woofer from the L5500 will be installet in the cabinets from the first pair making them complete again. The only difference to the speakers of the budget L-models was the ommission of tweaters

True, and I should probably retain from expanding my collection, although it is difficult...I'll keep the speakers and some of the internals, I know Christian (the other one) needs a new Nicam decorder for his LX6000. So it is not totally wasted. But I'll have a hard time throwing the L5500 in the bin tonight, it served my uncle and aunt for

LXs are very cheap, and probably becoming even cheaper in time. But it is just my perception that these budget-Beovisions are becoming rare (like on the classic car market, there are loads of MG sports cars and so on, but no one cared to preserve the classic everyday cars for the future). best regards Christian

Hi there I was recently given a faulty Beovision L5500 (the budget one without contras screen) made only in 1990. How rare is this Beovision, and is it worth keeping? best regards Christian

Hi there My aunt and uncle had a beovision L5500 which stopped working a few days ago. They were thinking of getting a replacement anyway, and also want a Harddisk-recorder of some sort. I mentioned a Beovision 8-32, but that is probably a bit too small, When will the Beovision 8-40 inch arrive? best regards Christian

I use a cable like this: http://www.av-connection.dk/?PGr=1403&ML=421 copy paste

By the way, you can use any folly mounted DIN to RCA converter. The DIN plug fits the powerlink socket, and the two signal in leads (RCA) will give you the signal from powerlink. Can't remember which is left and right though. And the other two RCA leads are redundant in this setup. I use this to take the powerlinksignal from my ouverture to a Rega
