Becker balance control?

[gilwave]

I just bought a 1989 560SEL and it came with the Premium 10 speaker sould system and a Becker radio.

I see that the front/rear level control is on the center console - how do I adjust the Left/Right balance? The becker has no English labels controls - all icons. I have no owners manual and can't figure out how to really iuse this radio. Plus, the LCD display has lost some pixels so it is hard to read.

If your car has the 10 speaker sound system, this radio should have the extra little "box" attached to the rear. This is an added amplifier for the "special" system.

If you're experiencing balance problems, it could be just a balance adjustment, but its probably amplifier related. If the radio has lost some pixels too, it might be on the way out. The best resource for answers on this radio is at Becker of North America, 1-800-423-3537. You can find info on the owner's manual at thier site:
BE780 Manual

It shows how to adjust L/R balance.

Hope this helps.

See that lil Star on the headunit on the right side? Push that once and the display will go blank... then push the tone buttons (Bass/Treble) to go left or right.

Thanks HitMan. I finally got the manual and figured that out, only to discover with dismay that the right side isn't working

Don 't know yet if it is the amp or the radio that is defective, am having a new HU installed tomorrow.
