... there have been 5 different versions of the MS 6000 - the 4 digit "TYPE NUMBER" or the Serial # would be helpful ...

[quote user="deaddruid"] There was I thinking that I could just put a 4200 on my existing stand. [/quote] You can put it on your existing stand, but the motor won't work. MX 4000/4002, MX 6000 and MX 7000 use a 4 pin DIN connector for the motorized stand MX 4200 and MX 8000 use a 5 pin DIN connector. But it's not the plug that makes

The 2 RCA/Cinch (white & red) sockets on the rear of the display are standard line inputs and you are able to connect any analog line source. Eventually you'll have to "ADD" "CAMERA" to the "LIST" of commands available on your Beo 4 to access the input.

[/quote] BeoCenter 1 / BeoVision 1 ; BeoVision MX 4200 and BeoVision MX 8000 are based on the same type of chassis. They all offer "Format 1"

[quote user="JOV"] What a pity. In my opinion, iTunes sucks. [/quote] We agree ... Just forgot to mention the other option: WMP & BeoConnect - imho a choice between "Scylla and Charybdis" or as we say in Austria "Pest oder Cholera" ...

[quote user="Carolpa"] (naturally don't unplug the mains..............) [/quote] NO! UNPLUGGING THE MAINS (FOR SOME MINUTES) WILL ALLOW A "COLD" START!

Disconnect the BM5 from mains for SEVERAL minutes - in the meantime check all connections between BM5 <> BS5 and the external conections as well - restore power, let the system boot and check if everything is OK - if not, reboot again and select "recovery" at the boot screen - and let the system recover (you'll lose your favorites
