Hi all,
I have a strange issue with a Beomaster 3500 receiver.
I bought it about a year ago, fully serviced, with the matching Beocord 3500 and Beogram CD 3500 units. It has been working beautifully until today, where it shut off out of the blue, and will not turn back on. What happened was, I put a CD in, went to turn the volume up, and the receiver froze at volume 72. All of the lights on the CD player went off for about 5 seconds, then none of the controls worked. It then proceeded to turn off, and go into stand-by mode.
However, the red power indicator light on the front panel remains lit. It is almost as if it is permanent "standby" mode, and will not wake up. The cassette deck and CD player work fine independently. It should be noted that the remote control also does not work, for any of the units.
I have already tried the old unplugging-it-plugging-it-back-in approach, and removing the glass panel, as possible friction may have occurred.
Any idea what (could) be wrong? I am relatively new to B&O equipment – though it has always fascinated me.
Thank you for your help.
