Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Beomaster 5000 receiver with a 2PM alarm set by previous owner done through its remote control - which I do not own.
That's correct, the unit itself does not have a reset button and remote was long lost by previous owner :)

I have already read B&O user manual online but nothing.
Does anyone know how to reset such unit internally without the remote control? I love the unit sound.

Any help is much appreciated.
 
The manual is rather ambiguous in saying that settings are retained when power is lost but also says the clock must be reset with the remote! So try leaving it unplugged from the mains for a few days & see what happens when you plug back in.

Otherwise you'll need the remote.
 
Thank you. I've left out unplugged for 2 weeks. No success either.
 
Maybe try the dedicated B&O forum but I suspect the only other way would be to disconnect the backup battery. At least they should be able to help you find it!


Failing that I can only suggest a Facebook or similar appeal for a loan of one.

Or connect it to a timer that powers it down just before the alarm is due to go off & then back on after. ;)
 
Thank you... waiting for my account to be approved in the other forum!!!! :)
