Wine is pretty good nowadays as long as the programs to be run / devices to be installed don't need any too intimate drivers or don't do something funky with the user interface. Actually, I was just upgrading my Win/Linux dual boot home machine from Ubuntu 9.04 to the oven fresh 9.10, so I gave it a try. BeoPlayer installer runs through seemingly

SHIFT + RESET Mais ne fonctionne qu'avec Beolink1000 <= mk3, avec le bouton RESET...

Hi Tim, as a first thing, I'd check if the arm servo motor is running at all when the Beogram attempts to start. If I'm not confusing model versions (again), the arm carriage should manage to move a little to open a switch before the system remains on by itself. You may have a broken or tired belt, or the tiny pulley on the servo motor has come

Since it is completely dead while the fuses are OK, there's still a chance that it will be an easy fix, the power switch being the main suspect followed by the rectifier bridges. Measure around in an orderly manner and follow where the supply voltages end. You should have the schematic - the service manual is of course on site if you decide to upgrade

5000 and 5500 of course have 2-way remote as well. As a final difference between 6500 and 7000, the latter has RDS. However, it adds nothing unless you have a Beolink 7000 - the data is not shown anywhere else. I would forget the 5000 as the remote control is not compatible with anything else (but has the advantage that you don't necessarily need

Hi Oliver, welcome to Beoworld and congratulations for a nice system at the right price First of all, I would check the input switches on the speakers. The Powerlink connections carry both channels, and you may have just both of them set to left (or right) now. So you might not be playing in stereo, but only the one and the same channel on both speakers

[quote user="RedGrant"] [quote user="tournedos"] I'll classify spikes under CD players and other voodoo right down with the lower point, no matter who is selling them and no matter how much they dare to charge for them. [/quote] You know what, I think I'll have to agree with you on that tenatively at least on sonics, since

[quote user="yachadm"] There is one outstanding issue which I'd like to take of - one red LED segment on the 4-digit counter is inop. Does anyone know how to repair these? [/quote] Not me, but it seems like a custom module you obviously cannot get from anywhere but another Beocord 5000. Internally, I'd bet it's very similar to

Now let's forget about those messy quotes, and I'll try just one more time to get across the message I originally had (which was a digression anyway): I agree that vinyl decks and cassette decks may sound different depending on the drive type, since the rotation has something to do with the sound that comes out I completely disagree that a CD
