there are also the Scart leads that Linvis ( in Germany ) make http://linvis.de/shop/index.php/cat/c17_Scart-Controller-DVD.html/XTCsid/db28ff1de6ed0415d68dc201aee1832d and Ulf Kiener ( also in Germany ) - select Bang & Olufsen down the left hand side http://www.ulf-kiener.de and One Remote in Denmark http://shop.oneremote.dk/catalog/index.php?cPath

Does anyone know if replacements for these crossovers are available, or better still if I can take the existing crossovers and rebuild them using better components ?

I have an Avant TV with a DVD Controller Mk II Type 4047 http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=1272 This Scart cable connects to the TV and DVD player, it has an additional IR eye which sits in front of the IR display of the DVD player and allows control of non B&O DVD players using the Beo4 remote. A thread about the DVD Mk I and Mk II controllers

you would be better off buying a VX7000 ( whether the tape works or not ) , and plugging the Sky box into the back of the VX7000, then they could just press VTAPE on the Beo4 and the Sky Channels would just go through the VX7000 http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=832 that's what we do using Virgin and the V-Box ( same as Sky really )

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] If you dont get SAT as a setup option then just set it up as vtape since most people do not have videos nowadays. [/quote] well not quite, the only two options that a Sky box will work on AV2 are : Expander and CDV AV2 : off / Expander / Decoder / CDV / V-Tape-2 / V-Tape-2 B&O / V.Aux / off

[quote user="joeyboygolf"] I've never managed to work out just what a decoder is ! [/quote] on the MX7000 it is used in a more European sense of the word I imagine, where they connect a baseband decoder ( cable TV ) to the AV2 scart, or if you use an RF Decoder ( using an RF aerial like Feeview ) , then you still connect the scart cable

go to menu, then setup, your choices are : AV1 : off / V.TP-1 + Decoder / V.Tape-1 / V.Tape-1 B&O / off AV2 : off / Expander / Decoder / CDV / V-Tape-2 / V-Tape-2 B&O / V.Aux / off S-VHS : off / V.TP-1 + Decoder / off If you are using a Sky box with a scart connector, just plug it into AV2 scart on the back of the MX7000 and select CDV Then

in the end I sent my MMC2 to Axel in Germany ( east of Dortmund ) http://www.schallplattennadeln.de/d_4346.htm he replaced the cantilever as well, excellent job and fast turnaround HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - and my LP's now sound better than ever :-) Axel Schürholz , Bachstr.23 B , 59590 Geseke, Germany Telephone +49 2942 987 853 FAX +49 2942 974

I saw one of these and thought it might look good with my BeoSystem 5500 http://yfrog.com/0c1ucasehiperhtpcj http://www.hipergroup.com/products.php?lv=4&cate=2&type=12&pid=128&action=Picture http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=717

it is not glass Craig, I am prety sure it is "Acrylic Glass" , aka Perspex or Plexiglas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_glass I measured the front of my Beocord and the recess for the front panel ( the depth ) is between 3mm and 4mm Has anyone actually measured the depth with calipers a front panel on a 5000 family unit ??
