I'm quite sure it's not NTCS. I just moved the SCART from Avant to 10 year old Sony and then to MX5500. First 2 just worked. Except, now when thinking about it, in Sony (also 4:3) I had to press format key to get 16:9. Avant just worked. But reading the previous discussions, remembered that the setting in Topfield represents the format of TV

Hi, I bought a MX5500 model 3621 MDT. and I'm using a Beo 4 as remote. I have problems to get the TV to sync on 16:9 picture format. It seem to sync OK with 4:3, though. I connected a DVB-C STB into AV2 and there was an asterisk for that input in the menu. With this 4:3 was OK, but 16:9 did not sync. Then I changed setup to Decoder, and I got a

I agree, but unfortunately the supply here is pretty short. And importing (just packaging and shipping) from UK would make another 500 pound hole in my pocket. Maybe I just have to buy a MX5500 and wait still for another Avant to appear on local market. Pekka

Hi, I'd like to have some idea, what is the price for 28" Avant (not RF) type 8100, CRT price in other parts of Europe. I called local B&O repair shop in Finland and the price seemed to be sky high. About a 1K EUR for the tube and around 500 EUR for the work. Still no cheaper alternatives around? BR Pekka

Andy, I mean both, I believe it's one unit for text part and the see-through part. So, I intepretted the maint manual. Anyway, mine is aluminium with black text on it, so yours won't fit. Thanks anyway! Mika, I'll pay a visit to "Tarjoustalo", thanks for the tip! Pekka

Hi, anyone could point me to a source of a screen for bass slider in Beomaster 3000-2? Another thing. Do you have any hints on how to get off an unpleasant odour of the thing? I think it is the wooden cover, which has a smell of mildew, probably because of prolonged storage in some damp storage. I tried to rub it with a mild winegar, and it helped some

Hello Beoworlders! I recently acquired an old Beomaster 3000-2, always admired that slider design and finally got one. But just my luck. I knew, when bought the thing, that screen from bass slider was missing and some scratching noise came from vol and balance sliders, not a big deal, could be taken care of quite easy, i think. But now, when I finally

Hi, I'm considering to buy a Beovision MX5500. I'm intrested on comments about it's picture and sound quality. I have an Avant, so I guess they are not exactly in same league, but this on would come to my freetime home. Could this set be controlled with Beo4? Anything special to be aware of? I read that there is some series of MX5500 with

Hi, I bought an second hand Ouverture and it arrived with the doors removed. The sliders seem to be on the unit and in the glasses there is just a residue of a glue of somekind. My question is: What kind of a glue should I use to fix the doors to the unit? Any recommendations?

Thanks Keith, I suppose it's also 50HZ, not 100Hz?
