Hello Nick Welcome to Beoworld and very pleased to see that you have signed up as a gold member. I am surprised that no one has replied to your enquiry but VCRs don't seem to be a popular topic these days. I have two, the V8000 and the VX7000 and they are both slowly deteriorating over time. When they eventually give up the ghost, I don't think

Now that I think about it, the BC2300 and the BeoPort were in the same room as the TV. The TV must have been set up as the master (option 2) and the BC2300 would have been option 0. Can't remember what option I set on the BeoPort, but it was also configured with no IR detector connected. The NMUSIC and NRADIO signals were then received and distributed

Hi Menahem I too didn’t think that the solution would be that simple but one has to start somewhere. In my notes, I have the solenoid resistance at ±10ohm so that agrees with your measurement and the solenoid appears to be OK. You give me the impression that everything is working as designed and the machine plays a record in the way that

Hi I had a similar arrangement some time ago but I disconnected it. With the BC2300 on the network, there are no problems when you activate CD or RADIO and the unit performs OK. However, when you activate NMUSIC or NRADIO and only expect BeoPort to perform, the results can be strange. Since the NMUSIC and NRADIO codes are the same as the old ATAPE2

Hi Menahem Since the unit only gets hot when the arm is down and the solenoid has been activated, I can only assume that it is the solenoid that is overheating. Perhaps the switch by the side of the solenoid is remaining closed when it should be open and that would simply be an adjustment issue. That switch must open to reduce the current through the

Hi BenSA I think that you have hit the nail squarely on the head. I have never actually seen the component side of the 1900 board in that area because I have never had a reason to take off the front control panel. Now that I have taken a closer look at the solder side of the 1900 and 2400, the boards appear to be similar but the 1900 has a mass of "dummy"

[quote user="Søren Hammer"] I believe that the carriage module of the 400x series remained unalted through all 8 years of production :) [/quote] You may well be right and the mechanical parts are probably similar. However, my particular version is Type 550x and the circuit diagrams show several differences when compared to Type 551x

Hi Large48 At the moment I am using a 14V power supply connected directly to the remote battery terminals while the plastic cover is off. This will get me through the testing phase while I determined if the remote and the receivers are able to work properly. As Peter has mentioned, 15V compatable batteries are still available but from what I have seen

Tom Can you provide the Type number for your BG4002, I am interested whether it is the earlier or later version. If it is the later version, I might be able to help you. Regards Geoff

Hi, I have long known that my BM1900 was not built for remote control and accepted the fact that I should have purchased a BM2400 if I wanted to use a remote. I later acquired a BM2400 and a 2400-2 but both were missing their remotes. Last week, I finally got my first remote control module and have spent some time getting it to work properly. I then
