With SD transmissions, CRT rules. Clearly things get trickier with HD.

According to iTunes, mine would take 84 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes and 4 seconds. And that would be continuous listening. The big advantage of having it on HDD is that I can listen to anything almost instantaneously rather than digging through my records or CDs.

I would get a refund - not suitable for use. It is all very well but you probably paid quite a bit and Axel will charge a fair bit to fix them - he has to take them apart.

[quote user="tournedos"] There's a switch for turning the CD4 decoder off, but it isn't really needed since the decoder will play in regular stereo anyway when it cannot detect the CD4 carrier from the record. The extra two output lines don't matter either, you can plug it into any input socket that accepts line level signals.

No idea! iTunes reckons I have 30617 items on it, though I am still recording my LPs slowly!

The Beosystem 7000 (for instance) used a remote called the Beolink 7000 . This sent out commands like the normal Beo4 but also had a receiver so could accept messages from the music system, if said syatem was fitted with a transmitter. This had the huge advantage that one could control a system from another room and retain full control of what it was

Yes. You would switch off the CD4 circuit anyway. My 4001 is actually a 6000 really though I have now removed the CD4 and RIAA board as it is not needed. You can just use the RIAA and it performs very well. Any MMC20 cartridge will do - Axel will put new suspension and a stylus on for a very good price.

Neither! They are exactly the same but a different shape! You really want a Beogram 6500, 7000 or a 4500 with a fitted RIAA. Or be different and get a Beogram 6000 quad!

Yes. There were changes made through its production run though. The CD mechanism changed at least once for instance and it lost the two way remote facility fairly early on. But is essence, they are the same.

The Philips menu has a whole lot of ridiculous symbols which defy logic. The Pioneer uses text instead! Debatable which is better.
