How about linking the 9000 to Apple iphone's music?
Yes, I can help! You can either connect the phone directly, or purchase either Apple Airport Express, Google Chromecast Audio, Audiocast M5, Tibo Bond Mini or any Bluetooth receiver for wireless music from your phone to the B&O system (sorry I don't sell these devices, only the cables!)
This cable will allow you to connect any of the devices listed above to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O system:-
soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/67-298-minijack-to-aux-in-ipod-to-beosound-beomaster-beocenter-using-aux-din-socket.html#/2-length-1m
Please set the phone volume to maximum when connecting to the B&O system - this is normal when using a portable music player with a home audio system due to the low output levels produced by the phone.
To listen to the music, simply press "A.Aux" on the B&O keypad, or select this on the B&O remote control by pressing the "LIST" button until the display shows "A.AUX", then pressing "GO".
Hi Steve. Thank you very much for the information. I have a Beolab 9000 (6cd player) with 2 speakers (beolab 8000). I love it very much and would like to upgrade Bluetooth. Could you please confirm that I can purchase Beodound core and upgrade the beolab (2 speakers) to the wireless speaker? Thank you very much for your help. Lawrence from Australia
@@lawrencelou4651 Thanks Lawrence. This is quite a detailed question so please drop me a line at soundsheavenly.com with the full details of what you want to achieve
A timeless piece and your cable solutions will keep them timeless for a long time to come!
Thanks, the 9000 is one of my all time favourite B&O products!
Beosound 9000 is creativity at it’s best good job
Thank you!
The Beosound 9000 is the coolest audio component ever!
Something I always liked about it is how the other multiple CD playing/changing systems were always incredibly ugly and naff and nobody would have expected something that could play/change multiple CDs would ever look good, then B & O came along with the Beosound 9000.
Yes, this was truly revolutionary at the time and I still think it is a show stopping design in any home.
Beosound is one of my favorite pieces of Bang and Olufsen hardware followed by the Beolab 5 speakers.
Yes, it is an iconic design
Great video thank you. I love the older B&O gear, especially the even older 1970's era. Wonderful units.
Thanks! I will have more classic B&O products on the channel very soon, please subscribe to be the first to hear about them ;-)
@@soundsheavenly been subscribed to your great channel for a while 👍
Thanks!
Great content as always Steve!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have 2 of these.. Just love watching and listening to them :-)
They are superb, a true B&O icon!
Steve, Having just bought one of these back from a friend, to replace a BeoSound/Master 5, I really appreciate what you're talking about. However, having sold dozens of these units when new from our store here in Denver, I would always use the AUX as an output for non-powerlink setups simply because you never need to worry about the volume issue if you're using another preamp. And you're not "using up" the AUX port if you only hookup the Output side, leaving the Input side completely free for other sources. I was at the world premier for the BS9000 in Paris at the US dealer meeting in 1995. It was a very exciting time.
Thanks, yes that is a very good solution. The Aux output can still be used along with the Aux input if required.
After going through your video i bought a beolab 6000 it is amazing!
That is good to hear, glad my video was helpful!
Thank you for all the information.
You are very welcome! Thanks for your kind gift, I will use this to buy a coffee in the morning!
I have no doubt B&O will bring these back eventually. The way trends and design are going , leads right back to this kind of timeless design
I certainly hope so, I would love to see this iconic product made again!
lol, bring back a cd changer made with the cheapest plastic that shatters when you look at it, yeah right
@@NessRhyme Would make it a lot more "timeless" if it didnt shatter after a few years
@hiz-n-lowz1577 I have never heard of one shattering! That sounds like it could have been caused by an external impact?
@@soundsheavenly 2 days ago a guy I ran into gave me 4 Beolab 1s and a Beosound 9000. I got the towers to work they sound amazing but the cd changer the black plastic housing breaks apart and crumbles every time i move it lol.. I never heard of B&O equipment and was just doing some research when I came across your video. The plastic on the 9000 is soo brittle I thought it was a common thing with em as they age.. maybe this one was stored in heat or something, i dunno, I love the sound on the Beolab 1 towers thou
Thank you for your reply....
Very informative...
They are stunning machines, i hadn't realised B&O Nottingham sell vintage gear, i'll have to pop in one day, i do keep an eye on the store websire and facebook page and didnt see any vintage items
Yes, these are superb. I visit Nottingham regularly and they often have classic B&O products in stock
Well done Steve. I would be interested in BS9000 video solely on this model. I have one. It is mounted vertically on a small chimney breast with absolutely no wires or anything visible. As a piece of industrial art you understand. I love the DL designs. I'd be all eyes for the video. Many thanks. Bw Mike.
Thanks Mike! I will start work on a full review video
very informative. like the backgroundmusic.
Thanks! I have referenced the music in the video description, I find it very calming
Super ! 👍
Thank you!
very helpful. thx
Glad it was helpful!
Youhouu the 9000 for ever 🤩
Absolutely! I love this system!
Thanks Steve. Slowly thinking I need one of these. I recently acquired my childhood dream: Pentas and 8000s.
Listening on my H95s-anyone notice the feedback loop in Steve's mic whenever he touches the Beosound Balances? Haha
Yes, they are great speakers. Sorry about the interference, that was due to a loose connection between my microphone and the camera…
Detailed review, yes please 👍🏻
Thanks, please subscribe to be the first to see the review when it is ready!
Hi Steve, appreciate your work. Anyway to connect the beosound 9000 to the A9 speaker? (2nd Gen)
Thanks! Please drop me a message at soundsheavenly.com and I can help with the connections (sorry I can only help with cables for UK buyers at present)
Hello, very good video with well explained commentary !
I juste have a little question on this subject. I have a beosound 4 and I would like to know if the explaination giving in this video apply also for this device. Indeed I would like to add a subwoofer in my setup (beosound 4 and two beolab 4).
Thanks for these video !
Thanks! Please feel free to get in touch at soundsheavenly.com with any connection questions and I will be happy to help!
Excellent video, Steve! I have one question, how can we connect B&O 9000 wirelessly to a pair of speakers ? do I need a Bluetooth transmitter or Chromecast device?
Thank you! Please note that you cannot cast music wirelessly from a Beosound to speaker using any of these devices, they are for sending music from your phone to the Beosound instead. The only wireless option that actually works to link these speakers to the Beosound is the B&O Transmitter 1/Receiver 1 system which you would need to buy directly from B&O. Cheaper options like Bluetooth won't work here, so I don't support them. Please let me know if you decide to buy the correct wireless system from B&O and I can help with cables.
Hello Steve, is that solution also possible with the BS9500 or are there better connection options?
My favorite designers still are David Lewis and Jacob Jensen. The BS9000 is the moderner version from the BS9500 but both timeless hightech Danish design 😍
Always a joy to listen tot your passionate explanations 🤗
Thanks! Yes, this solution is also possible with the Beocenter 9500 but you don’t need a speaker sense adapter. I hope to cover these wonderful Beocenter models in a future video!
I fell in love with beolab18 at first sight and started purchasing Bang and Olufsen. After I saw the beosound9000, I purchased a product from the UK as a second market in Asia. I haven't tried the connection yet, but I don't know the pin code. I think the purchasing agent doesn't know the pin code, is that ok? And I'm planning to put it in the living room of my new house, but do I need to use a beolab transmitter to cover the wires as much as possible? It was recommended at a Bang & Olufsen store. thank you so much for the video
Hi, please don't ever buy a Beosound 9000 unless you know the pin code, the seller must be able to supply this for you. The only exception to this is the mk.1 Beosound 9000 which has type number 252x as these don't have a pin code.
Interesting, didn't knew that!
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
Hi Steve, totally agree with you... fantastic system but I need your help. I recently moved my unit from our TV lounge to our bar. When iI reconnected the system I found that I had very faint volume even with the unit turned up to full. Do you prehaps know what has occured and how I can reslove this issue. I did nothing other than pick it up and move from 1 room to another?
No problem, please email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com with the full model numbers of all the products and speakers that are connected, then I can help further
This cd beolab 9000 device should absolutely, without the slightest micro doubt, have the latest edition updated to get digital sound out of the coax connector. That way I could either get the sound to a separate dac, or from the coax connector to my active genelec loudspeaker digitally using my aes ebulit cables. That rca connector method is such a super antique connection method that collects all radio frequency interference like a vacuum cleaner that you definitely have to get rid of that connection method already. If this kind of product came to the market in 2023, this product would have it
can still be preserved far into the future. Because the product concept idea is absolutely wonderful and similar products cannot be found on the market where the artistically wonderful CD cover images would come out and the disc change would be so fast and stylish.
Unfortunately, the absence of the coax output connector is the biggest bottleneck of the entire equipment, because I would never change digi genelecs to any old passive loudspeakers or bluetooth speakers.
You could even buy a CD player like that back then. Now it is far too outdated dac circuit and those output connectors.
All versions of Beosound 9000 have a co-axial digital output fitted to allow the unit to function as a pure CD transport, for connection to your own choice of DAC (or digital speakers) - hence there is no "bottleneck" in the signal chain at all.
Ok thanks information.
I purchased my BS9000/BL8000 system when working for a B&O franchisee and love it as much now as when new. However, there is an intermittent issue when the clamper moves to another disc, it will not spin and the display shows "PAUSE". This happens not only on burned discs I've made, but also on commercially-released CDs. Would you hopefully have a solution? Thank you and I've just subscribed to your channel. Cheers.
Thanks for subscribing! Whilst I’m not a repairer, I suggest the first thing to check is the position of the two adjusters on the back of the unit. As the clamper mechanism wears over time, the ‘official’ settings mentioned in the user manual won’t always be the ones that allow the clamper to run freely. However, if that doesn’t help, you may need to get the unit checked out by an approved B&O repair agent...
Hi Steve,
I have recently acquired a Beo 9000 in excellent condition. I'm thinking of pairing it with Beo 3 speakers. What connector do I need to purchase if I want to play Spotify?
I have just subscribed. Love your content.
Thanks,

Hi Andre, thanks for your kind words. I apologise that I'm only able to offer cabling advice to customers within the UK and Europe at the moment as I'm taking time out to care for a relative who is unwell. If you can please contact your local B&O store or B&O's website then they should be able to offer cabling advice within Australia. Thanks for your understanding.
Hi Steve, great video. I have a 9000 that I repaired and Im trying to connect to the dac on my system. For some reason the digital output is not working or not enabled. I dont have a remote to factory reset or enter any service codes. Is there any other way? Would a factory reset help or is there a way to enable the digital output?
I did notice that when I press the balance or tone button it reads "TV Operated" not sure if this helps.
Yes, this means the 9000 is in the wrong option setting. You can download the manual at www.BeoWorld.org which explains how to correct this
@@soundsheavenly Thanks much sir. Is there a way to chance options without a remote? I dont have one.
No, sorry. It won’t work at all without a B&O remote control
I am in the market for some vintage B&O gear. My concern is, how serviceable are they? Are spare parts for the older units still readily available? Thank you.
Good question! If you check out my recent Beogram video with MultiCare Electronics in UK, you will see that they are able to find and even make new parts for many classic B&O products. B&O is also very reliable, so if you buy an item that is working and well cared for, then it should work for many years to come.
Hello Steve, it is possible to use it in the way you explain in the video as a CD transport, only using the Digital output, because I understand that it will have spdif output, right? Thnx
Hi, yes you can use just the S/PDIF digital output if you have a separate DAC (digital to analogue converter) then you can use the Beosound 9000 as just a CD transport. You still need the Speaker Sense Adapter mentioned in the video if you want to be able to remote control the 9000 and you won't get Radio or Aux signals this way, only CDs.
Hi Steve. what do you know about aligning the rocker arm and it's effect on the CD spinup. I've replaced the laser but the cds still won't spin up and I have a feeling the issue of focus may be in the rocker.
Hi, sorry I don't know anything about repairs or maintenance, I just make cables! I suggest asking your local B&O dealer if they can recommend a good repairer in your area. If you need any help with cables once you have got this working, please let me know!
The major missing piece to my system. It's amazing the price they still command today..
Yes, the launch of the recreated Beosound 9000c has certainly helped to raise pre-owned values of the classic 9000 systems. Well worth getting one if you can!
I have a question for B & O experts about the history of the Beosound 9000. I believe it was introduced in 1996, so I guess that it was possible to buy one in London in 1996, I imagine it was in the UK at the same time as it would have been available in Denmark. The reason I ask is that I'm writing a drama at the moment (its a hobby really it is not commissioned) which is set in 1996/97 mostly and one of the characters has a very cool apartment with a Beosound 9000. I wonder what month it was introduced in 1996 actually and was it definitely available in London at that time? I like to be accurate with these things. Thank you.
That is a very good question! Although the launch was in 1996, I don’t recall seeing them in people’s homes until a year or so later, so I think there was quite a backlog of deliveries following the release date. A typical sophisticated London socialite would be more likely to have had an existing B&O system such as the AV9000 with Beolab 1 or 8000 speakers during 1996 in my opinion...
Hi. Many thanks for your great video. I just purchased a Beosound 9000 mk2 plus Beolab 3 speakers today. Dream come true :). There seems to be a very high pitched noise when playing music. Is this a common issue? I use mk3 powerlink cables.
Hi, glad the video was helpful. This sounds like a possible equipment fault. I am sorry that I don't stock any B&O spare parts or offer repairs, as I just make cables. I suggest contacting Multi Care at www.multicare.org.uk for B&O parts or repair advice. If you need any cables for your B&O system once you have got this working, please ask and I will be happy to help!
@@soundsheavenly after a lot of investigation we came to the conclusion that this combination doesn't work for some reason. At the B&O centre we tried the BS9000 with other speakers and that worked fine. And we tried the BL3's on another system and they also worked fine. I also found some old blog posts online with people having the same issue in this setup. I'm going to swap the BL3's for BL8000's this afternoon. Really glad I bought them at the B&O dealer as they were great during this whole research process and are happy to swap the speakers round. Just thought I'd let you know :)
@mrjop I can confirm that Beosound 9000 does work with Beolab 3 when the correct cables are used. Beolab 3 are very sensitive to induced electrical noise due to their digital amplifiers, so the choice of cabling is critical. I can help with the correct cables at soundsheavenly.com
@@soundsheavenly Thanks for your quick reply and information. I currently have cables from Cavus which I got from the B&O centre. They're mk3 compatible. Is there something specific in the Beosound 9000 setup that would require a different mk3 cable? As the BL3 worked fine with this cable on a different B&O device strangely enough.
@mrjop Best to check the cables and products with your B&O dealer, as these should be correct if everything is working correctly.
Watching this video on a laptop with a pair of B&O Emerge in stereo over Bluetooth and the lag is noticeable. With VLC I can adjust the lag, but have not seen how to do that with UA-cam. The pair of B&O Levels show up on the network media devices but not as an option in Sound from the Control Panel until the Bluetooth connection is made.
Thanks, I will aim to cover this in a future video
I used to own this Beo9000 when they first launched. The shocking thing about this CD player was the glass panel kept dislodging from the holder. The glass panel fell out and crashed onto the floor. It was replaced a new set but the problem persisted
Yes, this was a known issue on some 9000 models when they were first launched, B&O upgraded the adhesive on the glass to prevent this from happening. If you get a 9000 serviced at an approved B&O repair centre then they can replace the glass firmly so it won't come off again.
Such a shame they don't produce these any longer
Yes, it is a real icon of design. Well worth getting one if you can
Good morning. I did not understand everything…. how to connect the beosound 9000 to a 1st generation beovision eclipse? THANKS
This is possible, but too detailed to cover in UA-cam comments! If you are in United Kingdom, please feel free to email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com and I will be happy to help further
Hello from down under Steve. Several months ago I was lucky enough to be gifted a 9000 with a pair of beolab 1 and a beolab 2 plus some 6000s for good measure. The beo 4 remote was totally corroded and doesn't work.
the 9000 is my big problem though. the clamper moves as expected but won't spin a CD. I've now replaced the laser with what I'm told is the correct unit for a MKIII yet the problem remains. It tries, but the cds just won't spin up. I wonder if you are able to help? I'm told that there a couple of post refurb codes that need to be run but without the remote, of course, I can't...
Hi, sorry I don't know about repairs, but I can confirm that Beosound 9000 will work without a remote, you just need to use the keypad under the hinged top panel for full control.
@@soundsheavenly What about running codes? How is that done? Thankyou once again for being helpful here.
Nice I have MK3 beosound 9000 is possible link to beovision eclipse thanks
Thanks! Yes, this is possible using the first cable mentioned in the video (as per the Beosound Balance) and also the speaker sense adapter. Please feel free to get in touch via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com if you need any further help!
Used to have to repair these when i was an engineer at a B&O service centre... hated the bloody things !
Yes, they are certainly complex - but they are amazing to use when they have been well maintained.
Hello Jonathan, what would you say are the most common point of failure for Beosound 9000, based on your experience? Thanks a lot!

Hello Steve, I just got a used bang and Olufsen 9000 CD and 8000 speakers. I’m trying to hook them up, I only have one of the 8 pin cable. I plugged one side to the 9000 and the other side to one of the 8000 speakers but only that speaker works. This is probably a dumb question but am I suppose to plug another 8 pin cable from the other speaker to the 9000 as well? To make both speakers work simultaneously together?
Yes, you need two 8 pin cables, one for each speaker. Here are the cables you need: soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-266-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/1-length-05m

HELLO MR Steave
I have 3 bang&olufsen speakers ,beolab4000 ,beosound1 and beolab 7-2 .Could you suggest me what kind of cable to listen my beolab7-2 through my iPhone.Thank you.
Hi, please feel free to contact me at soundsheavenly.com and I can assist you, as this is too detailed for UA-cam comments
5:30 You mention that vinyl player (such as Beogram 4002 as in the picture) can be added to the aux port of Beosound 9000.
Can you clarify that can Beogram 40002 be linked straight to Beosound and will the Beosound that work as the pre-amp for the Beogram? Or should I have a pre-amp in between?
I might be doing this and have the Beosound linked to Beoplay A9 with the cable you offer.
Later Beogram models with a pre amp built in can connect directly to the 9000. However, as the Beogram 4002 doesn’t have a pre-amp, you will need this pre-amp kit instead, which comes with all cables needed and full instructions, ready to “plug and play”:-

@@soundsheavenly Ok. Thank you! So, basically the main (and only) advantage of connecting Beogram to Beosound is simply to pass through the audio to same speakers without any other external switch.
@@MikaSyrenius Hi, no that is not always correct. You cannot connect a Beogram turntable directly to Beolab speakers as there is no way to control the volume. Connecting via the Beosound makes this connection possible, you need the volume control on the Beosound or you cannot make the connection to the Beogram. Your setup is a special case if you are using the A9 as this has a volume control, but this is not the case for most Beolab speakers.
@@soundsheavenly Right. Good point! I did not think about this as I am actually connecting the Beosound to A9 and from there to modern multiroom system. So in this specific use case, volume control is not needed from either Beosound or Beogram. But it will still be more convenient passing Beogram through Beosound so that no switch is needed.
That is correct, no switch is required, just the pre amplifier that I mentioned in my previous post
Help I can't tune in our radio on B&O 2500 😢 please can you do a video or share a previous one thanks Helen

@@soundsheavenly Thank you~
I own one of those and have a Sharp TV connected via the ear speaker jack playing over the Beolab 8000 speakers. I have recently bought their Beo Core wireless unit to be able to play music remotely. For this B&O service connected the TV with the Core unit. This resulted in a sound delay of the TV content, which they were able to correct once, but the problem returned the next day. Further problem is that their App remote sucks big time and the old remote for the 9000 does not work with the Core unit. They told me to buy a new BT remote from them 😢. One more thing: I have a record player which I have connected to BT transmitter and would need to connect with the Core unit to play the music on the Beolab 8000 speakers. Do you have any advise pleeeeeeeease? Thank you so much!
Sorry to hear that you are having problems, you should be able to reduce the Network Delay setting in the Core to prevent the delay issue. If you please check out my recent video about connecting a record player to Beolab speakers on my channel, this should answer your questions - I recommend that you always use a wired connection, not Bluetooth for record players!
It Feel if i buy it three years before 😂😂

Greetings Carsten!
Hello Steve, I've been struggling to connect my second-hand Beosound 9000 (type number 2561) to my new Beolab 28 speakers. The shop technician comes in, makes it work using the AUX connection and after a few days it doesn't work anymore and it starts to cause problems with the Beolab. When I cut the power to the Beosound 9000, the Lab 28 starts working normally again. What would be the best way to set up the connection? Thanks in advance.
Hi, thanks for your enquiry, I see you have sent me a direct email as well via my site at soundsheavenly.com so I have emailed you a full reply
@@soundsheavenly Indeed, received your mail. Very helpful, thanks!
Please let me know if you need any further help
Oh WOW! I cant believe I have been considering getting rid of my unit for sometime. It does need a service now. I am in Melbourne. The shop I use to go to is no longer there! Can you help me to locate another here in Melbourne please? Mine was bought in 1997 in Brisbane as a gift! The speakers I think must be first generation for this unit. Much large and heavier. There has never been a pin code or it must have been disabled? Never been asked for it even by B&O? Anyway I had no idea that it could be linked to new tech! Please help. Thank you for your time. Cliff
Hi Cliff, glad you decided to keep the unit! I suggest checking the B&O website for the list of stores in your area, as they will have a repair agent local to you. Your 1997 unit may be the mk.1 version without the pin code. Hope you are able to get this beautiful system back to full health!
Hai Steve, I have still my Beosound Ouverture. I would like a bluetooth connection . I would love to hear then everywhere in my house the music. I have a Apple I Phone. What must I buy now?
Kind Regards
Yes, I can help! Please purchase either Apple Airport Express, Google Chromecast Audio, Audiocast M5, Tibo Bond Mini or any Bluetooth receiver for wireless music from your phone to the B&O system (sorry I don't sell these devices, only the cables!) This cable will allow you to connect any of the devices listed above to the Aux socket on the back of your B&O system:-

I am interested in buying an approved Beosound 9000 and connecting it to new Beosound Balance/Level/A9 - with your suggested connectors can the CDs play over all wireless speakers please?
Hi, yes that is possible as long as the speaker you connect to is not Google equipped. Please ask at soundsheavenly.com if you need any help with cables
Will buy cables via you and hopefully you can advise on supplier credibility but looking at approved supplier serviced by B&O - always loved the iconic design of Beosound 9000 and is still highly desirable and relevant - sad thing is I disposed of my cd collection and would need to rebuild again
@@JL-pd6dwThanks, I'm happy to help with cables at soundsheavenly.com but I'm sorry I can't comment on any other businesses for buying or selling B&O
« You can use it with ANY modern wireless speaker »? How about a couple of Sonos Play:1 then? How to connect those to a BS9000?
Yes, that is possible - please use the second cable and the adapter that are mentioned in the video to link the 9000 to a Sonos Port or Sonos Connect, then you can play the 9000 wirelessly to any Sonos speakers around your home, including Play:1!
How to make the BEO sound 9000 smart if I’m using the BeoLab 8000’s???
You can add either Beosound Core, Apple Airport Express, Google Chromecast Audio, Audiocast M5, Tibo Bond Mini or any Bluetooth receiver for wireless music from your phone to the B&O system (sorry I don't sell these devices, only the cables!)
Hello, how are you? hope well. All of Beosound models are 220-240V correct? How can plug into a 110-120V energy? I have to put it on a voltage conversor, or its OK to plug direct on a 120V power plug? Thanks a lot
Hi, this depends on which product you are using. Voltage converters are not ideal, I would always advise contacting your local B&O dealer to get their advice on how to safely get the products converted to the correct voltage. I apologise that I can’t advise on using products outside the voltage range shown on the label.
@@soundsheavenly Thanks a lot for your fast answer and attention ! You are great !!! I will check then I send you a message here ! Thanks again
I would love a more in depth review!

Top, thanks. How to connect à record player beogram? 👍🏻
Thanks, please can you email me via the contact page at soundsheavenly.com with the details of your Beogram? I can then help with the connections
Great video, there’s a bit of buzzing though :/
Sorry about that, it was my first video with a new camera and I think it may have a fault. I will correct this before the next video.
I can understand the logic of coded in car entertainment systems but why on earth, would BXO put a code lock on a home consumer unit? Just asking for trouble down the line. Remote control units and code numbers are easily lost and forgotten.
Too clever by half!
I see your point but for an item of this value it is a helpful anti-theft device. The code is only needed after mains power has been lost, so a good way to deter a thief without being too inconvenient to the owner.
Sureley there must be a way to add an internal bluetooth connection somehow? Adding more cords ruins the concept in my world.
That would be a nice idea but I don’t think there is any space inside the unit at all!
@@soundsheavenly you might be right, way above my competence. However, imagine how little room a pair of AirPods have!
@@veironiottan4091 Yes, but Airpods won't work here, I don't think even Airpods would fit inside this unit!
Mine is 2561, and has no pin code
Hi, this sounds like a mk2 version, so it should allow you to enable a pin code if you want it, or you can leave this disabled if you prefer.
@@soundsheavenly
Thank. That’s new to me. I thought only mk3 have pin code.
Both mk2 and mk3 can have pin codes enabled
My parents had one stolen after a hurricane. It made me tear up that someone stole it
That is very sad to hear. I hope that your parents were safe and that they were able to recover their possessions.
Bagai mn beli seperpard b&o yaitu kabel elastis/remot control & optiknya
Sorry I don't know where to buy any B&O parts, I just make cables. If you are in Indonesia then maybe a local B&O store can assist you?
Imagine if an engineer hacked these to play blu-ray's. May not be possible due to the glass cover. I can dream though.
Ooooh, I do like that idea! (are you listening B&O?)
Technical the laser unit is only for cd (redbook) for bluray you need a Blue laser
bad you need a PIN code ridiculous
The pin code is a useful security feature that stops a thief from using a stolen Beolab 9000. Your B&O dealer can provide the pin code once you have proved that you are the rightful owner of the item. I wish more companies protected their products in this way.
@@soundsheavenly
no doesn't stop a thief just put it on eBay and the unsuspecting buyer will be caught out what do you do then?? I was going to buy one of them from the dump had a choice that or a Linn lp12 i went for the lp12 15 £,
was good I did he wanted 25 for the unit. that's the trouble it becomes a waste product that's why they do it, not good for the environment is it.
@@hoobsgroove Hopefully future buyers will watch my video before making their purchase and then they will be able to spot a 9000 that may have been stolen. The rightful owner can always obtain the pin code from B&O once they can prove ownership.
@@soundsheavenly
yes but this is an old item you can still get code I'm sure from b&o and there is a reset
The only problem is that new b&o speakers sound awful...
Really? Which ones have you heard? I have been amazed by this he sound of the B&O speakers I have listened to once they have been set up correctly
