So you've had the patience to wait over an entire weekend to get an off-the-shelf answer to a problem that probably is known to perhaps 0-2 members? Pretty quick if you ask me...

Yes, but you will need an adapter as the Beomaster has the larger (6.3 mm) headphone socket. Those should be readily available in any store that sells AV cables and that kind of stuff. I think Form 2 actually came with that adapter.

Don't despair - you need to use SHIFT+RESET to toggle loudness (and SOUND+STORE thereafter if you want the current setting to stay as a power-on default, it stores current volume etc. as well). Tuning the radio presets goes as well with a Beolink 1000. You can either GOTO + < / > to search for a station or GOTO + key in frequency, including

Are you really talking about Beomaster 5000? As it isn't supposed to work with a Beolink 1000, and you should not have any problem clearing the loudness on 5000, as there's a button for it on the flip-down panel...

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] I have never found the RDS function to work reliably. I live out in the country ( Cambridgeshire Fens) and we are lucky to get a strong enough signal for acceptable stereo never mind RDS! I didn't know there were 20 stations to preset!! I really must get a decent external aerial. My roof mounted TV aerial is

Well, once you have 20+ radio station presets, it is quite useful to see the station name instead of trying to remember which preset is which. Not to mention while programming the presets in the first place. It isn't shown in a very prominent way on the BL7000, though. "RDS", if it is there, is stated on the type label of the BL7000, which

A Beomaster 4500 would match the looks nicely (as Beocenter 9300/9500, if you want a complete all-in-one setup) but they are usually a bit pricey. Beomaster 6500/7000 would suit fine as well, if you're more into the brick form factor. All of these have the Powerlink speaker outputs which are the optimum connection for these speakers. But be warned

If your current amp has a pre-amp output with controlled volume, you can connect these directly to that (the speakers have a line level RCA input which has automatic power on/off with signal sense). If not, you will need to construct / buy attenuated adapter cables to drop the speaker outputs of your amp to line level. With a suitable B&O amp you

I don't think the direct STAND command is available anywhere on the BL7000. It does support the PICTURE + << / >> way of operating the stand, but that seems to only work with the older two-way TV sets. I haven't found EXIT either!
