BeoSound 8 IT IS ACTUALLY A Bang and Olufsen Beosound 8 BUT IT DIDN'T GIVE ME THAT OPTION I put the Ipod on the Dock and it wont play it through speakers, even the light that usually comes on doesn't. I can press the buttons and they do nothing, The two volume buttons light up when i press them but it doesn't change the sound. It's like it doesn't register that It has the Ipod on it. I have un plugged it and plugged it back in but it still isn't working. Any Ideas? Regards, Nicole

Sounds like the belt drive that controls the doors is broken. If you're a repair headed person, you can get the repair manual online for $25 or so. Parts may be harder to get, but with the proper imformation, you may be able to do the work yourself.  It's both tricky and super easy because the design is generally very very good, but knowing the technical details requires a decent amount of patient brain work and proper tools.  DaveA

Below are links to the manuals. I also have this system with the original manuals.

Basically, press the "load" button to open up the CD mechanism, put a CD on the spindle, and press load again to close the CD mechanism. Press the "CD" button to start playing the CD. Page 12 in the User's Guide has instructions on configuring the radio presets.

SOURCE: Bang Olufsen doors won't open automatically

unplug from mains,close doors by hand,reconnect mains,does the doors open or can you hear something trying to happen,if so the guide rails for doors may need cleaning/lubricating otherwise the cable drive may be detached(a workshop job).

SOURCE: Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 2000 door doesn't open (disconnected)

Push the door to the left this normally engages the door to the mech.it is designed to detach if the door is jammed or too stiff to move.Cleaning of the guide rail and door carrier is usually the cure.this can only be done properly be removing the central cd clamper and control panel assy.
