All fitted - very nice chap called Dennis arrived just after 8. Replaced the dish as it was getting on a bit! Have the HD box working through the Avant for the moment and the Sky+ through the AV9000 - both working with a Beo4. The BV10 will go in the place of the Avant and the AV9000 will go upstairs with the Avant moving into the playroom ( had to

I would agree - the 4002 has a lot missing that the 4000 has but despite that it manages to sound remarkably similar! The 4000 was designed by engineers and I have a suspicion that it probably had a very small profit margin! The 4002 was subject to the bean counters but they essentially removed the fripperies!

I must confess that I think a seller offering warranty on a 20 year old system is a brave man! He may argue that the stylus was working when he sold it and it has been broken.

The VX7000 has no IR eye. It is controlled via a Beovision with the remote signals being picked up by the TV and sent along the SCART cable. No Beovision, no remote control. To change which remote works, first you need to make sure you have the correct VX7000! Early ones have a type number starting 45, later ones start 46. Only later ones work with

Do you have anything linked to it which can do a system standby?

Mine is being fitted this weekend!
