Re: MCP 5000- Help in storing FM stations

The 5000 compared to the 5500 is primitive, particularly with respect to the new MCP and the complete readout on the MCP of FM station, and other parameters.

I only use the most basic functions, never schedule anything. I have a Beocord 5500 that does a pretty good job of recording a good classical CD, but still does not sufficient dynamic range. My speakers at KOSS 1030A Thiel bandpas speakers which produce full room shattering volume at about 4.2

The amplifiers in both receivers are very well matched to these speakers and produce amazing sound with so little power. There are a number of organ pieces, that are absolutely astound, for equipment that is not over 25 years old.

Since you have both, which receiver do you think is better?

Thanks for the quick reply. I just just found my complete set of manuals.

I have a complete Beosystem 5500 (receiver, tape, CD, and turntable), as well as a Beomaster 5000 and CD-50.

Press the preset button you want to retune. Press Advance or Return depending on whether you want a higher or lower frequency. If you want to change wave band, press << or >>. Once you have found the programme you want, press Control, Store and the preset button you want.

From memory, doesn't it tell you on the instructions that appear behind the drop-down panel on the MCP5000?

I misplaced my manual for the MCP 5000. How do I tune and store FM stations into the presets.

I haven't done it in 25 years!

Thanks all!
