Hi George, As suggested I would first try changing the 2103 capacitor, because it only takes a minute if you know how to solder. Also, could you not type in all capital letters? It makes it harder on the eyes, and looks like you're shouting. Austin

Yes it's trivial, but as my favorite system, I must do all in my power to defend the 4500!

Hi Mike, welcome to beoworld! The 6500 is a great system. The beolink 1000 remote, which you can always find on ebay easily, will easily control all the everyday usage functions of your system. It can't however be used for any kind of programming. If you want a newer fancier remote, the Beo4 will also work fine. If you want to be able to use the

Yes, I apologize, I was only referring to the actual carbon in PDB.

Jandyt: PrizeDrawBot: Mission – A Carbon Neutral Prize Draw I wonder how much carbon is involved in making a steel robot! Not very much Andy.
