This has been explained a number of times in so many words, but never with pictures - I though it would be easier to refer to a pictorial thread instead of reiterating the subject again and again The first thing to do is to unplug the Beogram from mains . If there are missing covers inside, live parts will be visible. Also, if there is power, you might

I agree a video would be great, but I don't have a proper camera... the phone makes useless videos. Anyway, I took some pictures and will start a new thread with them for future reference. Edit: the thread is now here .

My Beo4 is definitely older than that so it may be different in yours... How about Jandyt's idea of V.SETUP, can you list to STORE after that? I checked and it also sends the same command. So the whole sequence would be list to V.SETUP, GO, list to STORE, GO, GO... Don't give up! We will prevail!

[quote user="Graham1982"] I like both the Ipod touch and the Linux VDR option, possibly the latter slightly more as that involves some kind of construction (of the kind discussed above). If at all possible, I would probably like to get fully away from Windows and I do have some place a copy of Urbuntu. As this is a version of Linux I guess

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a good pictorial on how the aluminum plates come off & on. It's not difficult but not quite intuitive either. Unless someone else has such pictures already I might do it in the morning, I have some business to do inside my Beogram anyway...

[quote user="Loris"] ...but I guess I read something about removing the control panel for shipping??? [/quote] I don't think you need to do that - just make sure it doesn't come loose. If you know the structure of these turntables, the key point is that they come apart once the wooden frame slides to the front - not a single screw

From bottom to top, mine are cord, CD, master and obviously gram on the top If I had the space, I'd lay them all flat though. I have actually entertained the thought of building a wall shelf to take them like that (as invisible as possible, like the Beogram shelves are).

Don't know if this is at all what you're after, but do you really need a remote keyboard / mouse / display for full OS control, or just a way to control some application that will take care of playing what you want to see/hear? I have had for years a Linux PC running VDR that takes care of my television recording needs. For control, it is using

I have now verified that STORE of Beolink 1000 in video mode sends exactly the same command as Beo4 STORE after TEXT, so this should work But you probably really need to prevent the TV from seeing the TEXT command. Then just LIST until you have STORE displayed and press GO-GO to send a double STORE.

When all else fails... I tried looking into the Beo4 user manual. Seems the Beo4 STORE is actually used to store teletext pages (and light setups) - if you first select TEXT, STORE comes out in LIST. It may need following up with GO to actually send something. And you might need to cover the transmitter while pressing TEXT so that the TV doesn't
