Hi there,
Since I'm looking to buy a Beosound 9000 system I have been researching internet as much as I could and always referred to this great site. I've searched here threads on this particular system as well.
Perhaps my question is: Anything specific I should ask or look for when contacting buyers or checking their Beosound 9000 systems for sale?
Much appreciated any advice or tips you could give me!
Cheers,
Martin
Martin,
A Warm Welcome to Beoworld..
There are three versions of the Beosound 9000 Mark 1, Mark 2 and Mark 3
Each Beosound 9000 also has a 4 digit "Type" number which defines which country is made to work in, this is important.
So, if you are in the UK and you buy from a UK seller, then normally no problem, but if you were to buy from another country, then you may have problems. So the first question to ask a seller is "What is the 4 digit Type Number
You can look HERE for the full details of the product.

"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
as explained in an old beoworld thread the mk2 laser has been used on many other players and brands
it is far less expensive and complicated than finding one for a mk3.
the laser is not the only part that can be defektiv but that's the most important part in a player.
the later the better was true in old times. later doesn't absolutely means better quality or easier to service.

Hi Keith,
Thank you for the warm welcome and initial advice!
One more question that I have is this: Where is the sticker with the Type Number and year of mnufacture located?
A lady is selling her daughter´s equipment but she doesn't have any information in that regard. I was thinking in asking her to check the sticker, but not sure where it is...
Thank you Peter, much appreciated!
I'm afraid I'm too far... Ottawa, Ontario.
I read it... I'll keep that in mind! After all, seems that the only difference would be the chip for N-radio/N-music, correct?
Thank you!

The main user changes for the Mark 3 Type 257X are:-
The main Technical changes were:-
Interesting about the plasma safe IR receiver on the MkIII. I know my Mk I will not respond to the remote control if my plasma is on unless the image on the TV is very, very dark. Was the same with my AV7000 when I had it, when I went to a plasma from a tube set it had to go.
