Well in the end I decided to get the set repaired at B&O Derby. They came to pick it up 16 days ago, having arrived an hour later than they said they would even though it was supposed to be 1st call of the day!

It seems to be something to do with the power supply and is probably repairable, but I think it might be time to get another set. I'm looking at options for a second hand tv - partly

I would like to connect some passive speakers to my computer via the audio (earphone) output socket. Rather than buy a new amp or another pair of active speakers, I wondered whether it would be possible to use a Beolink Passive as a power (is this the right term?) amplifier. Ideally, I would like to control the volume using the computer and not bother

I've experienced precisely the same problem. I did all the things suggested by the other respondants, i.e. clean the discs, clean the sensors, power off/on and it did the trick. Unfortunately I couldn't identify which specific action remedied the situation. In response to some of the questions raised in other responses - in my situation, the
