Guys

I have finally received my new Beomaster 7000, I have just wired it all up, and am very pleased with it, it seems to be working fine, thank god. I think I have Penta II speakers as well as a pair of RL 45.2 and it also came with a box which has 2 little boxes in it. A couple of forum members were talking about a Local set up thing, I think I have that, It came with this:

And another bigger box with bang and olufsen written on it, and quite alot of extra wire. The tape deck is not working I suspect a belt. And my Beolink 5000 has no screen which is frustrating! Does anybody know how to fix the problem with the remote? But apart from all that it just needs a good clean. It does sound amazing. Oh well back to the cleaning. Happy Days.

Sounds like you have an Xtra Speaker kit. This allow you to wire this into another room and the system is controllable from that room. This is a MCL system so the signal is at speaker level. I still use MCL as it is wired into my house although almost everything is now ML in the system!

You used to be able to buy a new screen kit for the Beolink 5000 - possibly the most irritating remote I have had! The BL7000 is much better!

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply, I had thought it was a Xtra Speaker Kit. The thing is the boxes and components don't look to healthy, probably not working. When I get a chance I will try it all, but I am more interested in the ML system! So now I am Wandering how I would set this kind of system up with my Beomaster 7000 and two Avant Tv, I would like the all working together. I am guessing that I would need some kind of ML control box/convertor because I don't see no ML socket on the back of the Beoaster 7000? Any advice would be really apprieceiated!

Regarding the remote, I may look into repairing the Beolink 5000, if not then for the time being I will get either MCP 5500/6500, I can't quite afford the Beolink 7000 yet Got a hungry issus and child to feed first. But I will get one fairly soon, I also want the floor stand! Does anybody know the best technique and best cleaning product when cleaning the Penta speakers. I was thinking of a polish of some sort? Anyways Back to the cleaning. Happy days

So guys What is the best polish to use on the Penta's It kind of looks like they are stained? Any advice Please?

For the pentas, babywipes are the first option. If really bad get some solvo autosol but rub lightly and up and down not across or in circles and it will remove most things. Mine were stupidly tobacco stained but came up like new. 

Hi Beaker thank you for the reply. I had already thought of that stuff, but wasn't sure if it would do any damage to the speakers, but thanks to you, you have confirmed that it won't.
