I thought that selling copies of copyrighted material was illegal and frowned upon by Ebay themselves? Surely if you started selling copies of software or films you would get closed down by a moderator, what is the difference in this case? Surely the service manuals are copyrighted by Bang and Olufsen?

The type number should be visible from underneath when the remote is folded up in table position. To change the software requires changing one of the PCBs, and also the glass front panel as they have slightly different key layouts. It would be more cost effective to purchase another 7000 remote with RDS if you want that function. In my opinion the RDS

Hope the repair goes well.

The repair may be as simple as replacing the muting relay in the bad amplifier. Over time these develop oxidation and pitting and cause intermittent sound/ no sound, and yet the status lights appear as normal. The penta amplifier is tricky to work due to it's compact size and shape. Have a technician look at it, and while it is apart have the trimpots

I am not so sure the V8000 will work on the VTAPE scart for the following reason. In the Avant with inbuilt VTR, the control signals are passed directly from the chassis to the VTAPE module as masterlink via an internal ribbon cable. Pin 8 of the VTAPE scart does not have AVL data connection for external B&O devices, only widescreen format input

Have you tried another remote? Sometimes the keypad contacts fail and a whole row or column of keys ceases to function.

The lintronic solution seems like it would be able function as a protocol converter, but when you consider the sheer number of infrared codes produced in a two way system, a TT455-RT-238 simply wouldn't have enough learnable code space to perform this task. As an example, there is a different code produced for every volume state, every tone state

It's a bit more complex than changing the header packet. Depending on the remote terminal type, I believe that different responses are generated by the audio and video masters. You'd have to de compile the software and figure out how it works for each micro in each product to change the remote operation - a near impossible task without the original

I use mineral turpentine to clean the old foam adhesive off. Let it soak for 5 minutes, and the glue will scrape off with the back of a fingernail. I have done about 30 beosystems and beocenters with this method, it does not damage the screenprint on the glass. Reattach with a neutral cure black silicone spread sparingly around the plastic holders,

Please keep in mind if you are wall mounting the 4500 that the glass panels should be reglued, as they have a tendancy to fall off and are no longer available as spare parts! I don't trust that foam tape at all! If done properly with a neutral cure silicone adhesive, they will never part company with the system again. The two way infrared protocol
