If all else fails, Jay, keep the telly on the backplate and the wall where they are and move all your furnishings and stud walls to suit.

I am somewhat concerned by the fact that you have mounted a TV in what could be a steamy atmosphere. I would have thought that this could be dangerous from an electric shock point of view. Perhaps others more qualified would care to comment before we lose one of our gold members.

I have a TV on a wallbracket in my bathroom for over 8 years now, never had any problem with the athmospher. (And I don not shower with only cold water). But there is good ventilation 24/7.

Makes perfect sense Jay, seems like the motor has a problem 'cos it should definitely go to the centre at standby. Can you move it both ways manually when the system is on standby?

Suggest you contact Nobby who I'm sure will have a replacement motor at a reasonable price.

dont worry Graham ive always wanted to go with a "Bang"

id tryed your suggestion , its not that changing the position of the plate would do the trick as its the motor that goes back to the far left on standby,

maybe i have a faulty motor

if i re-position the plate to counteract it, i then cant go left at all as it is already as far left as it can go , and due to the position of the mounting screws for the plate there are limited options to re-position that, the nearest better position ive found only lines up 3 of the 4 screws and where ive put it i really dont want yet another screw loose

hard to explain really

im quite a resourceful person and can make most things work with a little tinkering, but in this case i need it to go left and right and standby somewhere inbetween, and after reading in this thread that it should go back to center position just where i need it to be i was hoping i could do that

hope this makes sense

thanks jay

You must have the TV mounting plate in the wrong position!

Put the TV in standby, disconnect and dismount the TV. Now remove the plate and re fix in the standby position which suits you. Remount the TV and all should be well.

Surely ' picture, store, 0, store' will set it in the standby position of your choice.

No , tryed it, the older mxs only have the choice of desired "on" position, its not 0,1 or 2 , its simply stand

can anyone direct me to the service manual for the mx wall motorstand, ive looked for ages through the manuals and just cant see it for looking, i do miss the old forums ease of product search

ive just fitted my mx4000 on the wall in the bathroom (dont worry its not touching water, its way above the bath )

the off position on the stand goes all the way to the left , yet this thread suggests it should go to the center which would look much better that at present facing the adjoining wall,

thanks jay

Actually I think the service manual (for the stand) details how to correct centering problems at a hardware level.

That's what I thought. On standby the stand goes back to a position slightly off center. I don't think I will be doing anything about it, though, as it is too little to correct it by mounting it differently.
Thanks again,
Ben

I had the same problem with centering in stand-by, but I solved the problem by mounting the tv a little off center, and it worked. Mine is an LX, and I am not sure how the MX is attached, but it might work for you.

The stand always goes to the centred position on standby. The only way to change this is to put the mounting plate on crooked!

I've managed to save my favorite viewing position now doing as Graham stated.
This is the exact same thing I did earlier when it didn't work.

Is there also a way to save the position the stand will turn to when turning off the TV?

Thanks for all your help, guys

i think thats the easiest solution.

Its always handy to have a bl1000 around.

Not that you cant do it with a beo4, its just no-one knows how to.

Re: How to preset motorised stand?

joeyboygolf — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:05:22 GMT

With a Beo4 you need to add STAND and STORE to your list. If you press GO with stand on the screen the double arrows will move the stand and select STORE and GO to set the position. I've just tried it with my MX6000 so should work with the 4000
