My 9000 will not record any type tape without overloading to distortion, any ideas as to why this will happen. Playback is fine with tape made on another machine. Calibration seems to perform properly.

Welcome to Beoworld !

Most Beocords of this type has a level setting switch at the back, near the DIN socket for switching between Line/DIN level.

Furthermore, some Beocords/Beomasters have been converted for use with other levels.

Alternatively, you can make up an adapter with two voltage dividers to take the level down a bit.

Normally, the record level sliders will be near the 4-5 markings when recording.

Thank you! Thank you! That was exactly what it was. I was using a DIN connector with a RCA connection at the amp side and had the switch set for DIN level. This has solved my problem. Now to start recording on this great piece of machinery.

Thank you Dillen!!! 

If you knew Dillen's impact not just here on Beoworld but also the never ending numbers of older B&O that needs to be serviced, you will find that you have the best man for the job helping you.

Keep an eye on his atempt to get a Beolit 39 back to life. It's in the workshop thread.
