I nearly bought them too! Glad that they ended up with someone on here that knows what to do with them...

Thanks Martin - yes, it's a very kind offer and I may well eventually take you up on it. But as the Beomaster weighs several tons then I guess it might be better to try and find someone a bit nearer home at first. Would it be worth taking something that old to a Bang & Olufsen dealer for a service?

Hello again everyone... I'm the proud owner of a Beomaster 2400-2, which Peter incredibly kindly gave me after I shared my bad experience on here that I'd had with a Beocenter 2200 I bought on eBay (which turned out to be a total lemon, even by what I now know are the standards of Beocenter 2200s). Anyway, the Beomaster's having a few teething

[quote user="ouverture"] when you say "Red Eye" , do you mean a B&O DVD Controller ?? like these recently sold ones on ebay - item number 110465442451 or 170440129761 [/quote] Yes, that's the one - mine was 220558144342... assuming I've bought the right thing then hopefully I've got a bit of a bargain there, as the

(and I still need to actually buy an Avant first anyway!)

[quote user="Friedmett"] If the DVD1 aint connected by scart it will not work with a Beolink remote. The remote signal comes from the Beovision to the DVD1 or whatever is connected. Its funny when you look at ads for dvd1 and people asking if the remote is included. The answer is no as DVD1 is controlled through the Beovision where a remote

[quote user="Dillen"] You can select the SCART by pressing Shift TV 2 on a Beolink 1000, I would think it's the same on the Video Terminal. Martin [/quote] Thanks Martin - sadly it isn't, as there isn't a shift button on the Video Terminal. But the good news is that I've kind of solved the problem by connecting the V+ Box back

[quote user="dko7113"] The DVD1 does not have a IR-eye in it. It is operated through the connected BeoVision and its terminal. The system is called Datalink and it works trough the SCART-cable… The DVD1 is designed to be used through a BeoVision with a Beo4 terminal, but a BeoLink 1000 will do the job too, but not with the same ease

Hello again everyone - I've just bought a white Beovision LX2800 off eBay, mainly because it came with a remote control (which I thought was a Beolink 1000 but turned out to be a Video Terminal) which I was hoping to use to operate the MX3500 I bought a couple of weeks ago. I've managed to work out how to get the LX2800 going, and tune it in

Thanks guys - so by the sound of Lee's post on that thread, early curved-screen Avant 28s have a propensity to blow tubes but early Avant 32s are far less prone to it? Are DVD1s known to be unreliable? I'm quite curious how he'd had the DVD working with everything all connected up, operating it with a Beo4, but it wouldn't work just
