Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
As we've had a chat about the problem already by email, I will add a few thoughts for the benefit of the other readers out there, in case someone has ideas to offer.....
You told me that you inherited non-genuine speaker cables with the system, which you replaced with the cables that I sent to you (the correct mk.3 type). You mentioned in your email that the small led lights on the front of both speakers are not lighting up when the speakers are connected to the mains supply.
If the lights on the speakers are not coming on, then the problem is not with the cabling or the Beosound 3000, it is with the mains power to the speakers, or the speakers themselves. Each speaker requires its own mains power supply. The light on each speaker should be red when connected to the mains, this light should turn green when the CD player is started.
I would suggest taking the power cable from the CD player and trying this in each speaker in turn (as you mentioned that the CD player is powering up correctly). The red light on the speaker should come on when power is connected to the speaker. If not, the speakers may be faulty. If both speakers power up using this cable, then the mains cables (or the fuses) used for the speakers may be the cause of the problem.
You mentioned to me that you had just bought the system online - are you in a position to contact the seller and take this up with them? Most sellers should be glad to help with any concerns and all of the professional sellers will normally be offering some form of warranty with a system of this value.
If you need any further help, please ask!
Kind regards,
Steve.
