Thanks for the replies. Indeed the ability to 'toggle' between sources is something BL1000 has in favour of beo4 - and it is in the right place, very near the mute button.

What is the equivalent Beo4 command to AV on the BL1000? I have a BC9500 and LX5500 in the same room which are not linked. I change from audio to video all the time for volume and muting purposes. I find selecting AV on the Beo4 list does not switch sources. It assumes the two are linked so, for e.g puts the 9500 into Aux when pressing TV>AV

Yes, I noticed that, yet the 8000 is much preferred. Cabinet volume makes the difference? Has there been any upgrading of the 6000 over the years?

Thank you Keith. I will send you a PM

Yes - I did 'open up' the base by pressing the button. I have two other handsets working fine with this base and don't want to do anything to prevent them from working. I've never had this problem before so I think the offending handset has a fault which has developed in storage. It was originally dead after been left out in the rain

Tried to register a handset to my 6000 base (Mk1). I get "searching for base" and then "not registered" This handset was previously registered to the base but having removed the battery for a while and then re-connected it displayed "No signal". The forum advice was to remove the base from the handset's memory and register

This is good news. While BV8 could be considered as a suitable ME/MX replacement, and the BV7 takes care of Avant users, there is a big gap with no mid level (LX, BV3) sector at popular screen sizes. BV6 at 32 or 40 screen size will be my choice.

Agree. I have a BM6000 and used it with a CDX for many years. I used a CD7000 when the CDX became unreliable and it did not sound very good at all for some reason - very cold and digital. I think the BM6000 and the CDX were just very well matched. I now use a BC9500 with the S120 speakers and am very pleased with the CD sound it produces, it too is

malcolm welborn: i think what he means is they are easier to find, in fairness you would not assc uk price lists with articles in my view cheers malcolm Yes, I was thinking on the yellow main menu bar. David

Thanks for that Van. A useful guide. Can I make a request that current average pricing information is given a more prominent position on the site?
