Hey,
Recently I bought a Beomaster 4400. The radio does receive a number of stations and the reception is good but the sound remains awful, too bad to listen to. Also the stereo indicator doesn't work.
If I connect my Beogram 4002 to it, the sound is great better tegen my Beomaster 3000-2 which Is use every day.
If I replace all capacitors from the tuner section, is this enough or are there other components that require attention?
Thanks
Kristof
I just had a similar issue see this thread https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/30179.aspx?PageIndex=7
Replaced the decoder IC and the variable capacitor, only because the capacitor looked in poor condition and was hard to turn.
Thanks Craig, very useful thread.
If I replace the IC decoder the stereo indicator will work, if I understand correctly it will also improve sound quality due to a better left and right channel seperation?
l can only tell you that replacing the IC and variable capacitor sorted my problem, you may have other issues too....however I would certainly replace your IC

Hi Craig, where did you buy the ic RCA-CA1310A ? Langrex doesn't have this part in stock.
