Dealer fit!

It is probably a socket for an external sensor. Some people prefer the 7000 system hidden in a cabinet (I know - don't ask me why!) and this allows you to attach an external sensor.

The music system was a Thompson though!

I stayed here ! Very nice it was too!

I seem to remember that there is a thread about this in the Beogram section. It may well mean that the motor needs servicing. Alternatively some of the speed control circuits could need components replacing. I would favour the first, though check under the deck for any loose control arms.

Graphical display of a good loudness circuit, as enjoyed by Soundproof!

Beobird: I use loudness on the lower volumes and in my opinion it sounds better and I don't care what "audiophiles" say. On higher volumes I prefer to turn it off because it makes the bass a bit boomy and the high tones a bit sharp. A decent Loudness control should switch off at higher volumes. Which system do you have?

mecca: Thanks for the info...so MKII Powerlink cables to the Pentas....if they are Penta I's, i'll have to use the converters at the speakers to convert the Powerlink MKII to speakerlink and RCA... i believe??? I'm waiting on the shipment of the 9500 now...and another question...for my TV sound in...does it have RCA inputs?? or will i have

VX7000 vs V8000 1. The VX7000 is a much more radical looking device. 2. The V8000 is much more practical as the rewind speed is far faster. 3. I have both - the VX looks much better, but I use the V8000 as it works!! I do however also have a AV9000, which uses a VX7000 internally!

You will need a Beolink 1000 and an external sensor. The sensor is much the same as a MCL sensor but will need wiring to a DIN plug. I would actually make sure the VX5000 works first and then strongly suggest getting a different TV. An LX2502/2802 would give you a far better picture and sound and are practically given away these days. These will stop
