My MX3500 has a strange behaviour on power-up. Is it normal? On all my previous (non B&O) TVs, the picture faded up, a few seconds after power-on. However, on my MX3500, about two seconds after power-on, I get an all grey raster, with vertical retrace lines visible. A second or so later, this fades away, to leave a good picture, with no retrace

My TV died just before Christmas, and is likely to be beyond economic repair. I'm very tempted by the idea of a second-hand Avant, but I hate the idea of buying without having seen one, and talked with an owner who isn't trying to sell me one! Would anyone on this list happen to live near Malvern (Worcestershire) and own an Avant which they'd

Let's hope some come to light! It's with the TVs that the manuals are really needed, because it's very hard to work out how they work without the information.

Peter, The MX3500 service manual on the website is a scan of only parts 2 and 9. Do you have a fuller version, with parts list and circuit description? Thank you, Mark

I try to avoid dealers, as I can't afford their prices, so thank you to meandmyshadow: due to your encouragement I went to my local dealer

Actually, Keith, what I'm trying to establish is whether there is a wiring fault between the 1200 and the BT socket. I think the answer is "yes". The vendor tells me that he couldn't find the correct cable to run from the splitter to the BT plug, so replaced it with a computer cable. It appears that the computer cable uses pins 3 and

I bought a BeoTalk 1200, the front panel works fine, and it can record via the microphone, and playback. However, it doesn't notice what's going on on the phone line. Lifting another phone on the same circuit does not produce an icon of a phone on the display. When the phone rings, the 1200 neither anounces the call, nor answers it. The display

OK, beosuits it is, then. Thank you, Mark

OK, I guess it's time to go meet the suit... Thank you both. Mark

Thank you, Nick. Do I take it that these drivers were made specifically for B&O, and that's why they are the only source? Mark
