Hi guys,I have some problems with my vintage B&O. It's a Beomaster 3000 with touch sensitive buttons to adjust volume, select inputs etcetera. (probably in a place like this, just the type is enough to know what I'm talking about haha)It has always worked fine, however in the last week a problem occured. When I increase the volume past 40 it automatically fades back to 40. Even when I keep my finger on the increase volume button it goed to 50/60 and then back, to 50/60 and back, etcetera. Sometimes it gradually drops a bit below 40 in the next few minutes.When I have no input playing I can increase the volume to maximum and it stays there. But as soon as there is input (iPod, phono or radio), it fades back to 40.I gave it a thorough clean, but it didn't help one bit.Searched the forum, but found nothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I like the unit way too much to throw it away!Thanks in advance guys,Erik
For anyone else in the future who finds this.
Fixed it, turned out one of my speaker cables was half-half connected to the philips speaker plug. When I rewired the plug and plugged it back in, worked like a charm again!
I'm glad that you've fixed it. Sorry I didn's see your posting earlier. Then I would have suggsted to look for 'bad connection' in the speaker plug. I have had excactly the same experience years ago. The good thing with B&O receivers is that they turn the volume down when something is wrong " />
Wonderful receiver. I have one of those - and a few others too " />
