The kind man from Beocare talked me through the 4500's disassembley and helped me get it working. Thank you everyone.

No problem. In a way this is similar to what I have... A hybrid of components haha. I will soon be purchasing a plethora of RCA adapters myself. I am curious as to how this pans out for you.

But the left and right arrows are not present. Should they be?

Huh. Well the touch panel glass on my bm is damaged and isnt secured all the way. When I push a button it ocaisionally requires an unusual amount of pressure.

Correct, but they are not buttons. Or are they?

By the way, would you happen to know how to properly utilize the digital output on the BG CD 4500? Do you know if it has any benefits over the provided DIN/multi-pin connector?

Even still do most other brand audio products not have this level of style or features, oh and sound of course.

Yes, it is. By the way I just shot you another email. When attempting to tune it (BM4500) via touch panel, according to the manual picture, I do not have some of the buttons depicted in the manual on my touch panel. Such as "GO TO", "STORE" (they are displays in green however), or the "<" & ">", just

I also have a beogram cd 4500, but I am sorry to say that I cannot help you here. My beogram has a few odd noises but no hissing. I will let you know if I come across anything that might be of service to you.

So I called BeoCare yesterday and the gentleman on the other end of the line told me that in the list for radio there should be a button that's called "Go To". I never found it, even after looking through the "add?" list I couldn't find that either.
