Re: Beocenter 9000 to Avant 32" DVD with Beolab Penta MkIII

The sound is crystal clear with the passive speakers! There seems to be no fault with the 9000.

I am at a loss with this!

Okay. I will try that. Thank you for the advice. I will let you know!

Regarding the tape hum, try disconnecting everything from the Beocenter and try playing it through passive speakers (or headphones). If the hum is still there, it is a fault in the Beocenter, and you have at least one thing less to hunt for in your other setup...

Hi folks.

I have made some progress!! I managed to get the displays of the Pantas working. It seems that the 9000 has 2 other A.OPT. A.Opt 5 & 6. A.OPT 5 was the one that made the displays working! But now, as Craig said I have to deal with these double commands...[:'(]

The A.Tape is still humming, the 9000 does not switch to stand-by and I get no information of the CD track on the Pentas! I think this will never end.

Regards, Noah.

Okay. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my converter? As my 9000 comes just from revision and the Avant is like new it can only be the parts that has a fault!

Regards, Noah.

An other thing that annoys me a bit is that I always have to switch the 9000 to stand-by when I want to watch TV. I hoped that it will switch to stand-by automatically if I want to watch TV after listening to radio or CD.

It should, at least mine did when I had a 9000 connected to my BV3-32. My only problem was with the double commands.

Craig

So your 9000 switched to stand-by when you turned the TV on?

As far as I can remember it did. Pretty sure I could also turn off the BV3 from the 9000.

I don't think that a have to clean the cassette deck. The 9000 was until Thursday at revision. My dealer told me he claned everything. This noice occures since I have connected it to the Avant!

Craig: I was aware of this problem. Surprisingly there were no double commands. When I press e.g 5 on the remote the 9000 plays track 5!

Noah, you will probably find another to problem with your setup. As you cannot set the 9000 option 0. You will find that you will find that you may get double comands. For example if you try to go to the next track on a CD it may jump 2. Or press Track 2 and you will get Track 22.

Noah did you try to clean the heads of the cassette-player?

Noah — Sun, 09 May 2010 08:22:16 GMT

The thing with the displays of the pentas is fine for me. I can live with that. What bothers me is that hum that comes from the speakers when I play a cassette.

Can you help me with that?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong - I think the BC9000 simply doesn't do what you want it to. A 9500 or 7000 system would but that would mean a lot more money!

Hello Noah,

we have both - BeoCenter 9000 and 9300 in our family. I remember that the 9000 has no Powerlink-Sockets so I´d guess that the 9000 isn´t able to run the displays in the Pentas. You write that the informations from the BeoVision are shown so I think you have the right wires (the bigger ones). The 9300 and the 9500 have Powerlink-sockets so they musst be able to show the displays information.

Only my opinion!

regards, Adrian

Has anybody an idea what I have done wrong?

Let me tell you the connections I have done: First I have disconnected the whole system from the mains (Avant, Pentas, Beocenter and Beolink Converter). Then I connected the Datalink cable from the 9000 to the AUX socket of the Converter. Then the Masterlink cable from the Converter to the Avant. After that, I have connected the Pentas, Avant and the 9000 to the mains. And finally the Beolink Converter!

Is that correct or does someone think there is a fault? Do I have to connect the Beocenter to the Powerlink socket of the converter?

Regards, Noah.
