Hi all

Had some of these for some time just got round to re mains wiring em , now done.

Bootred 'em up today one works one doesn't - checked the output of the transformer and it appears to be working - i therefore assume the problem is the standby board - anyone any ideas - the units worked about 2 monthsa ago when first acquired.

When rewiring all i touched were the transformers ie remove from unit rewire replace!

My idea is to transfer units from the working unit one at a time to check and id the faulty board then work on that, however, other ideas gladly welcomed!

Ok guys

now got the unit to boot up and work, ie stdby light on permanently even when in operation , also, the display will not work when set to indicate source  although speakers are fine!  ----    ideas please have remade all plugged joints etc  -  duff indicator panel?

also when shut down the speaker emits an intermittent buzz, about 4 buzzes every 90 secs when set to audio or video, but as maybe would be expected silent when in stdby ie using speaker mounted switches --  a duff cap??

help

Hi all

Having read another post re mk2 / 3 cables tried another mk 2 and it works checked the original lead a core had come adrift - now still got a slight noise problem in that the speaker may have interferance on it as it keeps making the sound as per if the remote is in use - any suggestions?

PowerLink Cables - fully mounted (all pins connected):

Recently Powerlink Mk II has been discontinued and replaced by a NEW TYPE called "PowerLink Shielded"
- a fully mounted and double shielded cable with a diameter of 5,5mm and available factory mounted up to 50m

The main intention was increasing the possible lenght of PowerLink-Cables in a system and to reduce interference with external equipment.
The improved shielding between data for the display and the audio signal should also help to reduce / eliminate these "buzzes" during remote control operation.

A new Power Link Junction Box - B&O PartNr 3132055 is also available - if you want to customize the lenght without soldering an 8pin plug ;-)

Hi there

thanks for that!

the units seem to buzz all the time at very low noise level even when the remote is not in use ideas?

;-) Assuming that you are not a "B&o trained sevice technician" - the only thing you can/should do is:

- disconnect your audio and/or video equipment and the panel-amps from the mains.

- disconnect/reconnect all PL plugs !!several!! times - this cleans the pins and improves the contact - sometimes this helps!

- if not ... the largest "antenna" to pick up electrical noise (amplified in your panel amp and delivered by your speaker as "buzzing")  are
  your PowerLink cables - change them to the new double shielded 5.5mm version as mentioned in my previous posting.

- if not ... after 20 years, at least for BL3000panel amp - let your eqipment be serviced / cleaned / resolderd / calibrated by
  a B&o trained sevice technician ... 

good luck!

thanks again for that, in fact earlier today I had anothe r play - put the speakers into mute mode - no buzz , then changed  the pl's round the buzz from the other speaker confirms the antenna view - I need to get longer cables anyway as I am in the process of installing the panels etc, will go for the revised cabling!

Again thanks for that!
