solderon29: This is very common with the MX2000,and is usually due to dry joints inside the tuner/if module. Actually I'm not using the tuner (and therefore probably the IF) stage at all, just the SCART with a STB (Finland already gave up all analog transmissions...). Anyway, I found the service manual on the friendly interweb so I'll probably

Then there's of course this classic problem I had in my newly acquired CD6500: http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/72915.aspx ..but I'd suppose that would appear as a gradually worsening problem, not the player just quitting one day. -mika

I miss the days I could solder PLCC cased processors and read the markings on 0805-format SMD resistors without a magnifying glass -mika

Out of a whim, I just bought a nice, clean white MX2000 for the summer house, since the GF complained about the current TV being too big Basically it works just fine and the picture is really nice considering the age, but a little intermittent. If I tap the set, it can flash about any colour, display return lines, etc. So I guess I'll be looking

There are special "phono" versions of the DIN to RCA adapters that have the required separate ground lead. Or you can just jam a suitable loose wire between the cases of the DIN connectors and connect the other end to the amp ground, at least you'll find out if a right adapter would remove the hum. Don't bastardize the original cable

stampfki: So I have to connect the DVD player only CVBS with digital sound and the Receiver to AV port, which brings me to the second issue starting the Receiver switches on the BV automatically :-( The automatic switch-on should be disabled once you disconnect pin no. 8 in the SCART cable. This might create another problem with how to make the BV understand

Thanks for the insights, guys. The frame is pretty much pristine except for a small chip in the front edge, so I'm a bit reluctant to modify it. I have the same problem with my 1962 Cadillac - I don't want to alter, remove or "modernize" anything original, even when it would be the most sensible thing to do. I'd be lucky to find

I just noticed a white Beogram 6000 for sale. This got me thinking, since all of my "current" equipment is white - I have a white VX5000, a white Beosystem 6500 minus the matching Beogram, and I have the teak (rosewood?) Beogram 6000 as a record player with them because it just plugs in. As far as I can see, there's nothing differing on

camshaft: I have some of the older Samsung stuff that does have that standard cheap plastic look, but our new Samsung LCD has that gloss black (I think they call it piano black finish) frame, which looks much better than the past plastics. As said before though, part of the question is how many $1000's you're willing to pay for the nicer frame

Oh, one more thing - the nice condition Beovox 2200's I found locally for 25 €. Hardly a deal in the global scale, but a) "original" old B&O gear is quite rare around these parts and b) I absolutely love the sound of these little speakers! I'd take any of the aforementioned TV deals at double the price at once, you lucky b
