Firstly, thanks for all your suggestions.
I think my problem is more basic, having reset the 6-26 to default I can no longer get the tv to respond to PC Go on the Beo4, it is not present on the menu > connections listing, when called by the Beo4 it eventually defaults to the analogue tv which is not activated.
So, I think I need to open up the box to see what’s actually in there — maybe the apparent activation of the DVI was a left over from its hotel use,
I wouldn’t know, we are getting into the realms of black magic here! 😉
The only observation I can make would be that I have 2x Lenovo Ideacentre Q190’s, they both work through a 7-32 with a DVI socket so i would have assumed the outputs would have worked through the 6-26. But, bear in mind it was a ‘special’ for use in a hotel. The unit did come via a B&O outlet in Chester UK! So, I would assume some prep by them was made!
No progress this afternoon, my neighbour visited for a chat, hopefully tomorrow!!
Thanks for that, just tried it, menu go, menu 0 0 go list , 2 items, monitor and tv tunr, tried pressing the red arrow then go, just got the normal ttv tuner list ie choice of country etc
tried again , pressing red arrow and go together , nothing
I have no idea as to the model number, no labels visible, but as previously said, it is probably 20ish years old, with an analogue tuner!
No BtB setting on the main menu tried others, its not there!
Tried the DVI > Hdmi lead on the 7-32 works fine so that has irradicated cable probs
Reset to default the 6-26, now I cannot access the tv using pc > go on the beo4. I have reassigned the scart inputs, they both work, so confirms I think it’s a tv programming prob!
Yes, found the fuses, 5 of them, checked with continuity facilty on multimeter all ok, however 2 x connectors from the power board to the adjacent were a little loose, just about to reconstruct the beast to give it another go, hopefully it will be fine — that should just about see the afternoon out!
The system tells me the ideal resolution is 1024×768 convinced its the 6-26!
Tried various resolutions, had to use the scart input to change them them transfer lead to dvi, non worked — rapidly coming to the conclusion its programming need in the 6-26!
Ok, looked at the link, in actual fact i had found them yesterday!
The only sockets I have are
AV1 , AV2, IR in, masterlink, A1, A2, AV3 sound input L&R, and the 5 sockets for surround sound.
DVI socket, with connection to an HDMI socket on the pc, pressing menu gives a screen showing state of brilliance, contrast, colour, and sound , no screen showing pc output, perhaps that part of the tv programming is inactive, can it be activated? if so, how? and by me?
Yeap, thanks!
Have tried the DVI to HDMI cable to link the pc and tv , my Beo4 is one without joystick, it is prog’d with pc, pressinggo after selecting pc generates a black screen,pressing menu gives a screen for setting up the picture and volume but nothing else, then menu 0 0 go gives nothing, on the 2 x scart inputs, gives access to the 2 setup menus, but can’t find any ref to the dvi socket.
I will follow your link tomorrow, but not hopeful, i think the tv was produced to a bare minimum unit with no or few whistles and flutes!
Back to it tomorrow!
Ok, new belts fitted, and, it works, well, there’s a minor victory!!!
Now to clean up the case and reconstruct etc!
No , nothing in the package, however, found a youtube piece which is longwinded but the guy got there in the end, so, tomorrow’s work now sorted!
I will mail beoparts later to see if they have an instruction sheet, or even a link to one.
Ok, bought the belts, opened up the beast, strangely the tape belt drive, the long/wide one was perished broken, no idea why! So has anyone out there got a sketch /picture of the way the belt is mounted before I start backside scratching etc?
Have cleaned the scotch off the glass panels, used IPA without probs!
Thanks in advance!
The Finisterian
Been listening to Red Cardell Running in Paris, track Mandolino, on cd thro’ ouverture and Beolab 6000’s, they are a local band here in Finistere – regularly go to see/watch over the summer months, brilliant shows!
Mandolino is about the singer’s lady, a well played / used instrument just like his mandolin!
Back to some early Yardbirds later, they will be on tape tho’ again via the ouverture etc, will also try to get some photos later!
So have re prog’d the tv and BS 4, still no sound from the 4000’s, so, tried ’em with my ouverture which is working fine, prog’d as a standalone, booted the system – still no sound from the 4000’s.
I assume there is a switching relay inside each speaker, is it mechanical or electronic, if the former may be accessible to squirt some cleaner on the contacts etc if the covers are demountable.
I await access to the manuals section for more info on the 4000’s!
