Steve, If you are actually talking about the "mode" switch then the following should help:- Once connected to the mains supply, the Beolab Penta is in the stand-by mode. The stand-by mode is indicated by a red light on the front of the amplifier unit. The speaker switches on automatically when it receives a signal, unless, of course, the MODE

Philip, I would certainly get them to at least give you a quote on the repair.

Mac, A very warm welcome to Beoworld.. Based on your "Problem Statement" it is clear there is lack of line driver to the horizontal scan coils, but the vertical drive is good. Also, the fact you can see a vertical line means that the EHT (Extra High Tension) voltage from the LOPT (Line Output Transformer) to the tube anode is working fine

Beoaus, Officially, B&O supports the following Topfield STB's in the latest two table updates namely 3.90 & 3.91 Table 3.90 supports:- TF4000 T/COT TF5000PVR TF5800PVR Table 3.91 supports:- TF4000PVR However, as the remote codes are the same for other models are the same you should be able to control most Topfield boxes with the latest tables

Any piece of cable will do for the wire link between the aerial plug screen and earth. At this stage we are just trying to prove the cause of the problem. If the problem goes away then the problem area will have been narrowed down.

Apparently, all the new BeoVision 4-50 and BeoVision4-65 currently shipping will be delivered with the new D10 panel and the Automatic Colour Management system. At the same time the BeoSystem 3 software must be upgraded to version 4.17. This is the only software suitable for use with the D10 screens. Version 4.17 is backwards compatible with old screens

As Peter says Beolink PC2 was renamed to Beoport and the hardware is exactly the same. Beolink Office was the first generation and was a different box connected to the PC via the "comms" port and did not have a Powerlink sockets.

Toby, The Mark I does have CLI, but it does not work in all circumstances and does not detect an incoming call (call waiting) while you are on the phone and report who was calling after you have finished your current call. In my view the kit is cheap and you get everything except the coloured back cover, battery, microphone and earphone.

Ola, The kit is about £55 (80 Euros) and includes everything in the picture including the front panel.

James, You can use a higher voltage version, but it is also likely to be physically larger as well
