caro caro Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 HiI have refound an old, secondhand, B&O hifi/cd player. I remember the cd bit working before it got put in a cupboard, but now I can't seem to get any sound to come out of the speakers (even though they are lit up). My question is three-fold1. Wondering why speakers won't work now.2. Wondering whether I can plug speakers into any hifi and use them?3. Wondering whether I might be able to fix/recommission the hifi bit and somehow play music from iphone or similar through it? (Not sure if it works like this.)I'm pretty hopeless I know, but seems such a nice bit of kit (albeit old).Any buffs who might be able to advise? Happy to pay for someone to come and have a look if it seems viable.ThanksCaroline Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/262046-fixingcorrectly-wiring-speakers-on-hifise24/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed_pete Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Two things. There is a little known one-man hi-fi repair place in West Norwood called Goodways. It could be worth taking it to him and asking why the speakers aren't working.As regards playing from iphone etc one way to do this is via a Bluetooth receiver - I do exactly this using one like this https://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/bluetooth-audio-adapterMine plugs into an AUX input on the back on my hi-fi and then I can just use hi-fi like a bluetooth speaker.

ianr Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 You might check whether the unit has a mute button or setting.You could check whether anything can be heard through headphones.You could also find and download an online manual for that model and see if it has anything useful to say. Here for example is an extract from one example I found, for a Beocenter_2200.
