Yes, the ventilation grilles are pretty good at collecting dust. Still, I would try with just a moist cloth first - unless cigarette tar is involved, the black dirt will wipe off easily.

If these have been in a really dusty place, it will be a good idea to blow away any dust from the insides as well if you decide to take off the covers.

Thanks!

I am not still sure I will have to remove the cover, but it looks like a good cleaning could be needed (as you can see in the pictures, especially the vent at the end of the cover).

What do you think?

sergi0:
Did you have any advices for removing the top cover of the beosystem?

The instructions should actually be printed on the bottom plate of the components.

It's rather easy, you loosen the two big screws on the edges of the back panel (do NOT remove them!), slide them up, and tighten again. Sounds odd the first time, but just believe it The top cover will then slide back a centimeter or two and you can lift it off. In addition, the Beomaster has a couple of small screws inside the connector bay and you need to remove them first.

But removing the cover isn't really necessary for cleaning unless you intend to splash around with detergents and/or water, which I don't recommend anyway.

I have found that car polish ie autoglym works well on the white finishes.

Hi Folks!

I was recently able to get my hand on a Beosystem 7000 includind the CD player. These 2 units works (not yet tested/received), but they look like they definitively need a nice cleaning. I forget to precise it is the white version.

What advise could you give me? I was planing to remove the upper part in order to clean it with soft tissue and hot water, but maybe some people know better way to do that... :)

thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Sergio
