Hi all I have an old but fabulous Avant however it is stuck in timer mode and my remote seems to be frozen I have changed the batteries in the remote with no success can any one help please before my wife losers her mind and suggests I buy a Samsung. John in Sheffield, UK
Try plugging it out and leave it a while. Then see if you can turn it on using the button on top of the Avant. Likewise with remote, leave the batteries out a while. Let know hoe you get on.
If by timer mode you mean you've got a 'Wait' message then you've had the Avant unplugged for 30+ minutes (or the mains power has been off) and have got the PIN wrong three times (unless the PIN function has been disabled.)
So if unplugging and getting a reset does not work, try plugging back in and leaving the power on. After about an hour (?) you will be able to try the PIN again.
If you have just acquired your Avant the previous owner should have given you the PIN, failing which, with proof of ownership, a B&O dealer should be able to help.

If you mean that the red LED is constantly lit on the display at the top of the cabinet. Have a look behind the word "Play Timer". You will see a button. Just press this to take the Avant out of timer mode.
