Oh it's so sweet every 16 years

[quote user="Hubbe"]Just out of curiosity. Is it common that there are scams on second hand equipment from B&O?[/quote] Definitely. Once you find yourself sending downpayments over Western Union for too good to be true deals you haven't even seen, you know you've been had. It's just another variation of the infamous Nigerian

[quote user="Paul Winn"] Hey Guys maybe a daft question but why is Blu Ray so confusing with playback issues? [/quote] It's a very complex standard and all implementations are bound to have some bugs which will only surface when a content provider exercises some new feature.

Here's what I could work out from your list: Beosound 4 - no detailed enough info in service manual (ask the dealer) BL4000 - the main transformers would need replacing, standby transformers can be rewired BL6000 - can be rewired with no component changes BL3500 - all new transformers needed, probably not feasible Beolink Active - apparently very

Depends completely on what you have. Some of the kit can be easily rewired for different voltages, some cannot and would require replacing complete modules. Telephones are best left behind, TVs and other video stuff for the most part as well.

You would need to cut the traces on the circuit board and later bridge them back. It was just an idea and maybe not worth the trouble, perhaps it would be more useful to just check the resistances on the supply lines of this board (P8 pin 9 = 30V, P8 pin 8 = 21V). If they don't seem much of a load, I can't see how plugging the board back in

The possibly problematic part of your board 8 contains only the Datalink control circuitry for the deck. So, it might be possible to isolate it from the rest for testing (disconnect the four traces coming down from above the black plastic tower in your pic, and leave P10 disconnected). The upper part with the relay is the muting circuit common to all

[quote user="Hubbe"]Thanks, is there any reason to let B&O download a newer software or is it even possible?[/quote] Generally, products back then were "ready" when they came out (boy, does that sound like an odd concept these days!). There's seldom any reason to upgrade unless you know you have a problem or are missing some

Here's a bit longer and perhaps more accurate version of the list: http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/p/38821/322215.aspx#322215 [quote user="Hubbe"]Is that the software version the Beocenter got from the factory?[/quote] Yes. @sveifors, that doesn't look like the serial number to me. During this era, they should be eight digits with
