Just bought an Avany 32 VCR of ebay to replace my dead LS5500 ( previous post) it has an STB which has the old firmware and will req an updated eprom. It doesn't have an IR cable, will any IR blaster cable with a 3.5mm jack do the trick ( like this one on ebay 270319119928 ) Also by installing the IR cable will it enable to use the remote control

Thanks Neil, went a bit mad and bidded on a couple of sets on ebay and ended winning them both, an advant 32" 100hz ( with a newish replacement video) stb controller, nicam board and rf modulator all foe 250 squids, i though that was a good deal if it turns out to be ok. and an MX 7000 with a motor stand and a newish mx7000 for 100 squid. I was

The old Beovision LS5500 is playing up a little. The top a bottom frame has collasped in a bit and there are black lines jumping across the screen. Is this a timebase fault ? Are there any adjustments or shall I just send it to T.V. heaven. obviously i'm aware of all the associated hazards with EHT ete etc but I don't mind having a delve in

Hi All, I recently bought a CD5500 of ebay that was advertised as in good working order. Obviously it only has draw open and play buttons on the front. If you put a cd in the track indicator comes on for about 5 seconds then goes out. It doesn't highlight any tracks and won't play cd's. I am assuming that it should play as a standalone.

Neil, Nick, thanks for the info, now sorted. Cheers Steve

Hi Fredrik, Thanks for the reply, i thought as much. I will have a tweak. All the Best Steve

Hi Nick, Thanks ever so much for the reply, i'll take the cover off and have a look tomorrow, If it has got the nicam board and you have a I.C. what would be brill. The funny thing is it doesn't loose channel memories, so is that another battery ? Unfortunately I haven't got a manual for the T.V. but am I right in thinking it automatically

Graham neil, Thanks both for your advice, i'll pull the back off and have a look for the battery, i wasn't sure if it was a button type or soldered to the board. motor stand, that's a bummer, it has got a motor stand din socket on the back so wrongly thought it was supported. My question re the instructions was, is there any sort of function

It was my intention to write a quick post about my beomaster 3300, another relic that has not been used for a while. Having just redecorated the conservatory i have decided to give it the retro look !!!. I recently accquired a Beocord 3300 , got the Beomaster out and low and behold it worked. The Beomaster had developed a fault whereby it started buzzing

Hi all this is my first post. I bought an MX4500 quite a few years ago and it has been gathering dust for some time. The backup battery seems to have failed. Can someone please tell me if a replacement is sourceable and is it an easy fix. I also bought a motor stand off Ebay ( St5000) the bottom plate was for a smaller TV possibly a 21inch, however
