I definitely agree with bought of you guys,

Some random and basic checks will do it. if it works, it works. If not later on, i will fix it. :-) NO Doubt, I’m going to buy that one.

Tanks for support… and keep on „listening B&O“ in the Free World.

I agree with joey here.

I have been a Beosound 9000 owner for about 2 weeks now. The big question was if I could live with a cd player that can take 6 discs or get a BC2 which can do cd or dvd. The price for a secondhand Beosund 9000 is about the same so it comes down to your needs.

In general 10 years for a B&O product should not worry a consumer and no dealers are going to say that it can't be serviced either.

What I did do was a bit of research here on Beoworld. I found one that said: cleaning required for alot less than the others were going for. Now the solution is standing in one of the manuals so I went and got it.

It turns its an early MKIII with netradio and pincode. The seller did not play cd's for the last few years so I cleaned the glass on both sides and it has been working great since.

Can I recommend it? Yes if you have use for it otherwise no. There is so many options with B&O products these days so look at your needs.

Take my advice, don't get involved with the test modes, particularly TM27. You will not get sensible data and it will only serve to confuse.

It either works or it doesn't!

If it works and you want it, buy it. If it doesn't and you can't fix it, walk on by.

Well, the test modes count is more like: 30, not 74... and not all of them are tests anyway. I'd suggest at least looking at TM27.

OTH, I really like [JBG]'s process above... pretty straightforward and covers 90%+.

Re: Beosound 9000 MK2 Testing

joeyboygolf — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:55:57 GMT

By the time you have put it through all these test modes you will be a good deal older and back on 20 a day!

I suggest that you put CD's in positions 2 and 6. Select position 2 which should start playing. Select RANDOM via remote or via the keyboard if no remote. Does it play tracks from both CD positions? Does it move smoothly between the 2 CD's? (Other than when it is initially checking for the presence of CD's)

Other than checking that the radio works( I have never known one that didn't!) that is pretty much it.
