Hi there
My father has a very nice B&O system from the 80s which has, over the years, developed some problems. He's given up on the CD and tape players, all that is left now is the Beomaster 5500 receiver which is hooked up to a nice set of main speakers (redline) and 3 sets of remote speakers through the house. It's connected to a sony CD player. He also has the Master Control unit and a smaller remote. There are 2 problems making the system unusable which I'd like to deal with, to avoid having him get rid of this very nice vintage system. We live in Ottawa, Canada and there doesn't appear to be anyone available to service the system.
1. The 5500 receiver, when turned on, buzzes for about 1-2 seconds then shuts right down, as though there's some type a breaker that's tripping. Is this a common problem and any ideas about the cause/fix?
2. The Master Remote volume rotary dial does not seem to work. When we spin the wheel, nothing happens. Any ideas?
Sorry for the vague descriptions, this is not my area of expertise but as I said I'd rally like to salvage this system for my Dad if possible. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Marc.
