Hi All,

My Beosound 9000 mk3 has developed an issue – it can move one or two cd’s up or down at any one time, but any more and it freefalls to the bottom, goes into standby then slowly returns to position 1.

To be clear, it can move perfectly from eg cd1 to cd3, or cd6 to cd4. But moving from eg cd2 to cd 5 or cd6 to cd3 results in the player free-falling and loudly clattering to the bottom past cd6, followed by it going into standby and crawling back up position 1.

The unit hasn’t been heavily used, all the cd’s will play perfectly and move up & down one or two at a time with no problem; the sensors have been cleaned so not dust.

Can anyone shed light on what the problem may be-and better still suggest a solution?

Thanks for reading.

first idea, I would test it horizontal.

is it vertical free falling or are switches not set when the player slide to another position?

 

note: adjust the BS9000 to the correct setting.

Yes, I forgot to mention it’s been in vertical position on it’s stand for several years, and the ‘switches’ on the back are set correctly.

Good idea though to try it off the stand and horizontally-thanks Carolpa, will try this tomorrow and report back…

What happens when you open the glassdoor and then go from the first to the 6th position?

Does that work?

Thanks for the suggestion Beobuddy. Tried opening the door whilst moving from cd1 to cd6…

Unfortunately the door closes before the player will move; then as per usual it falls to the bottom, goes into standby then moves slowly back to the top.

Have yet to try player horizontally-(hurt my back moving Beolab 8000’s over the weekend!), but will report back once this is done – and I’ll have a look at test modes too.
