  • Re: B&O going 3D - good or bad idea ?

    I have studied 3D vision in the past and the cut out effect is quite common with photographs and there are psychological reasons why it occurs. It is not inevitable but it is more noticeable on some scenes. I think glasses will always be needed with the present systems as the left eye and right eye images need to be separated. I have seen Holograms

  • Re: Beocenter 9000 Volume control

    Martin, Thanks for your reply I suspected it might be a microprocessor problem but I have no idea how to do a reset. I can't remember seeing anything in the user manual and the service manual is a bit daunting. Is there a technique I can use like one used for re-setting a Kindle reader for instance. Regards John

  • Beocenter 9000 Volume control

    Could someone suggest where I should look to solve an annoying problem? I can not get the volume to reduce. After switching on the volume is about half position and it can not be reduced. On occasions in the past it has reduced with the remote but not with the manual control. Now the remote cannot reduce it either The volume can be increased but not

  • Re: Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200

    I think I can now wind this thread up. The switch was a sticking plunger on the OFF actuator. Cleaning the dirt and dried grease and a bit more lubricant has solved this. The hum was loading of the power supply but with the new smoothing capacitor this is solved. The only oddity remaining is a very loud noise occasionally when switching on to MW but

    I have tested again and found with only one speaker connected all is fine. This is for each channel separately so it looks as if I need to investigate the idle currents. Unfortunately this will have to wait because I have serious unreliability with the mains switch and wiring I will resolve this first. The wiring measures O.K but it is old and in places

    Yes I did replace it but perhaps I will try a larger value. you are suggesting one twice the capacity of the original. John

  • Re: Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200

    Hello Martin, I followed your guidance to get at the pcb. I had not expected the slider plate to be clipped as it was a very strong spring. Once off all was easy and I replaced the connecting lead. On checking there is still the high level of hum the radio can be heard over it. I left it running for about 30 minutes and then checked the under side for

  • Strange Hum on Beomaster 1200

    Can anyone help me with two difficulties I am having with this set? The major one is related to hum. The symptoms are that when switching on there is a very pronounced hum that rapidly dies away to a very low level. After a short time (less than a minute) it gradually increases to a very loud hum that is unaffected by the volume controls. The radio

  • Re: beomasster 2000 ( opening)

    Hello Steffen, Thank you for your kind comment. The lights were quite straight forward with Dillen's kit and instructions. The most tricky part I found was the light on the cursor. It seemed as if the end of the flexible wire was used as a fixing solder tag. I must admit I find that these older B&O units are a bit more elegant than the current

    Just to wind up the thread, I have put all back together and it sounds excellent. Also the advice I had on the light sub-unit from Dillen worked fine and it all fits quite well. Thanks to everyone John
