Leaking capacitors on the IR transceiver PCB in the bottom of Beolink 5000 can cause this. Another symptom is short battery life - less than a week. May also caused by liquid ingress into the remote.

Wearing a grounded wrist strap won't help, I'm afraid. (Nor for that matter a grounded dog collar!). This is not a build up of static electricity, more of an electrical leakage current. You can feel the same thing on a Beosound 3 when it is on the charger.

If you measure from the metal panel to mains earth with an AC voltmeter there is probably a voltage potential present. This will be caused by a switched mode power supply on the link system. The "tingle" is often felt with double insulated equipment with switched mode power supplies and is nothing to be concerned about.

Blueray players and discs are securely region coded at a fundamental hardware level. This film studio requirement means I won't adopt the format because the films I want will never be released locally, as has been the case with DVD. HDDVD has no region coding.

Do you have any compact fluorescent lamps in the same room (energy saving lamps). These can interfere with remote reception, although this is more common with 38kHz carrier type systems, not B&O. Try turning off the energy savers first. The Ouverture problem sounds like a faulty infrared receiver board, I have had a Century recently with the same

Sounds like a fault with the horizontal deflection or east west correction circuit. Not a bad tube and should not be expensive to fix. A picture would help the diagnosis, of course!

You'll be pleased to know that they hardly ever fail. Unless a 110V Beosound 9000 is accidentally plugged into 230V, that is.

It is a sledge motor from a Beosound 9000. No question. I believe they were also used as disc motors in laserdisc players.

Hello, I am guessing that you have a Philips pronto or similar type of remote. The paragraph of letters and numbers is the Pronto style descriptor for code storage for a particular button. Have a look here for complete B&O template files for pronto style remotes remotes. There is a fair bit of information, but you should find out what you need.
