I gave my son a nice BC 9000 with a Beogram 3500 and four Beovox RL 60.2.
Now he called me and told that the Beocenter are giving a "beep" every hour. What can cause that? Is there a backup battery that is dying and let something make this warningsignal?
Or?

Haven't ever seen anything that could beeb in BC9000. Nearby smoke alarm device?
blah-blah and photographs as needed
Sounds like an odd one this! Are these 'beeps' from the BC9000 or via the speakers?
When a CD starts on mine, it makes a type of 'beep' noise as it starts to read a disc. Is there a CD trying to play? If there is a CD in the player, take it out.
Unplug the BC9000 and leave it for a while and see if any 'beep' can then be heard. If yes, it's not the BC9000, if no, it must be but I don't understand how!
If it is definitely the BC9000, try re-setting the clock and see if any beeps appear afterwards. Try deleting any programmes that are programmed into it - if there are any. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the BG3500 and see if it still happens.
I'm just trying to eliminate possibilities but can't think what this might really be!

I believe that we all can to forget this issue. My son, born early in the 90´s, has announced that the sound continued during the night despite that Beocenter was power loose. When he then continued to look for the source to the sound, he found out that it was his Nintendo Wii U that made that *beeps*…
And yet one B&O problem solved
Beeps like that can drive me absolutely crazy. The frequency seems almost deliberately selected to be hard to localize, and they happen far enough apart that it makes it even harder to figure out where they are coming from.
Smoke detectors are bad at this, but I've also had various dishwashers that, if accidentally interrupted in their cycle by being opened but not closed completely or such, will emit a very high freq beep.
I also used to have a little battery charger that held 4 AA cells. I heard this regular, like 2 or 3 sec on, 2 or 3 sec off, faint, high pitched buzz. It took me days to figure out it was the frappin battery charger I had plugged into a low wall mounted power outlet in the kitchen. Drove me to distraction, especially at night. Even though it was faint it irritated me enough even in the bedroom that I couldn't sleep. Well, that charger went bye bye as soon as I found that. It was the AC/DC converter inside it.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
