The Service Manual for Beovision 3-32 (Type 880x) is available to download (look under "Products" on Main Beoworld Site) if you upgrade your membership to Silver or Gold. Regards, Neil.

Peter, Right, got it now! However, increased transmitter power following DSO is proving to be a mixed blessing. The problem of receiving the "wrong" transmitter increases dramatically as service areas expand and overlap. (As many viewers in the Granada area are now finding-- Welsh channels appearing instead of English!) The best way to overcome

Peter, I'm intrigued by your insistence on receiving DVB from Teeside (Bilsdale?) instead of Pontop Pike. Is this out of choice or by necessity? Thank you for a most interesting review. Regards, Neil.

Yes, the Phono button on the remote will select the Aux input.

This appears to be a rather disturbing trend where dealers no longer carry out repairs themselves, but sub-contract to someone else. Rather dissapointing given the prices charged! Neil.

To be fair to my dealer, I think he was trying to say that it would not be cost effective to spend a great deal of time trying to find an intermittent fault, with no guarantee of success, given the age of the unit and the high cost of B&O

My Beosystem 2500 switches itself on and activates the cassette mechanism. The fault is intermittent but very annoying, often happening during the night. My local dealer informed me that they hadn't a "cat in hells chance" of finding the fault, so I resort to switching off the mains to the unit when not required. Neil.

My Mk3 Avant will switch to full screen 16:9 if a "letterbox" picture is detected using the analogue tuner. Films are occasionally shown in proper widescreen mode on analogue 4:3 transmissions, (and are marked as such in the Radio Times), and my Avant seems to eventually detect this and alters the ratio accordingly. The picture is then exactly
