Hello!

I'm new to this forum and B&O products in general, i recently bought beomaster 5000 and RL60 together on ebay for a cheap price. But when buying it, no cables/connections or manual came with it. Now i got all cable and connections for aux and turntable, but i can't get the beomaster to work, whenever i plug it in there's a tiny dot on the screen, and when i press "store" it starts blinking "P". I have been searching a lot on the internet on how to make it work, also a lot on this site, but i cant find any solutions. help!

The tiny dot is the standby indicator.
To switch the Beomaster ON, you need to select a source like f.e. FM, Tape or Phono.
STORE is for storing preset stations once tuned in.

Thanks for letting me know it is the standby indicator, as you can tell i have no knowledge of how it works. although when i do press phono, while having my turntable connected and running, nothing happens.

try turning the volume down

look for the [v] key

if the beomaster shows 00 then you know to turn the volume up

should not need more than say 35 as a volume level - certainly do not go to the max of 72

Well when i press on for example phono.. nothing happens, the dot is still there and nothing else.

that is not so good

you should see PH

try pressing [TAPE] to see if you get TP

pressing [P1] should get P1

even without the aerial see if you can hear static

no, can't see anything on the screen, i cant hear any static either, except when disconnecting/connecting power

It's very common to see the front panel of the BM5000 completely disabled by a broken ribbon cable
inside the Beomaster.
I suggest you try using a remote, that'll be a Terminal 5000 or a Master Control Panel 5000
if you have one of them.

Hi according 2 manual press the button marked fm.lw mw this will turn on the reciever. then press the button advanced that will change the stations. If nothing happens the cable is broke this is common. u can contact alantic systems in Ma ph# 781-826-8760 this can still be repaired
