My BeoCom 6000 refuses, all of a sudden, to ring. The display shows 'No signal', although the handset is firmly on its base and all the appropriate lights are showing. The odd thing is that messages are still being taken by the answering machine. Any guidance will be gratefully received. - Erlend Clouston

I have a large B&O television (either LX 6000/5000 or MX6000/4000) which I want to give to a friend in France. I am now informed that as the French use a different system, my beautiful machine may not work on the other side of the Channel. Is this true and, if so, can one buy some sort of gizmo that will smooth the problem out? Thanks for any help
