Hi Ben Olly is dead right, it is part of the clutch assembly that you are looking at. I took three of them apart yesterday and the photo of one dismantled unit is attached. You will need to find the wheel from the bottom which is probably still inside the deck. It is only a press fit on the shaft and has probably been loosened recently. A bit of glue

Hi Your comments on the fact that the lid is now loose seems to indicate that you have yet another CDX with a weak or broken hinge. I would guess that the hinge was already damaged when the unit was sold. If you read through the early posts, you will see that this is a fundamental design problem with this otherwise excellent machine. Depending on how

Thanks Doc I have had a look at the manuals for the overture/2500, as you suggested, and there do appear to be some similarities that might be useful. However, it is going to be difficult because the board numbering is all different and there are only a few similar boards to the 8500/9500. The biggest gap for me is the power and amplifier board which

Hi Can anyone advise me where to find service information for the Beocentre 9300. I always thought that this unit may have been basically the same as the BC8500/9500 (the manuals that we have on site) but now that I have opened it up, it does seem to be a different beast altogether. One of the audio channels on my machine is extremely weak and I want

Hi and welcome to Beoworld First, don't force the front panel unnecessarily. If you have to open it and it won't respond to the push button, the best thing to do is remove the top cover and release the latch from the inside. Then leave the control panel open until you have fixed your problem. I can email you 10Mb of files with the information

Yes, a good supply of perspex offcuts in a range of thicknesses has made numerous contributions towards saving the life of an old B&O. The material is so easy to shape using files, fine hacksaws and of course the invaluable Dremel. For example, in the case of the Beomaster 3000, it is not unusual to find that the tuning cursor has lost 2 out of

I have done a lot of repairs with these sliders and the solution really depends on how extensive the break is and where it is. This first example shows one of my dismantled sliders and illustrates how one of the lugs on the slide was simply re-formed with epoxy. That is a fairly straightforward repair but sometimes the two lugs can be very fragile and

Please send me a PM with your home email address and I will send you a large Word file with some instructions and photos. Regards Geoff

Hi dug11 You may have a problem with the flexible ribbon connector which connects the front panel to the PCB. This breaks very easily and is a fairly common issue with these machines. Fortunately, it is not too hard to fix if you have some basic repair skills. First research this site for several articles that cover this problem. They may help you identify

Hi Greg Try the following key sequence MENU 0 0 GO MONITOR PICTURE ADJUSTMENTS FEATURE BOX MENU MOVIE MODE Can then switch movie mode on or off. I have fiddled around with this but it didn't seem to make much difference with the material that I watch. Maybe it will work for you. BV7 Mk2 does interpret 5.1 surround sound Regards Geoff
