This video episode covers the disassembly and repair of the Beogram CDX 2, the most advanced CD player made by Bang & Olufsen. All of the components for the Beogram CDX 2 will be disassembled and removed.
Redesigning the Beogram CD X became essential after the 104 series of machines was withdrawn because the original CD X was based heavily on the functioning parts of the Philips CD104 and was produced in one of Philips' factories. The CDX 2 is very different inside from the previous model, even if the two have very minimal external differences. Based on the then-latest version of Philips' OEM decoder/processor/servo panel and their CDM2/10 mechanism-a well-liked combo with good performance-the new model was created. These units also comprised the Beocenter 9000's CD area. Further B&O-designed (but Philips-built) panels completed the apparatus for power, lid/tray control, and control panel. The Philips CD100, the first CD player to be mass-produced, served as the foundation for the assembly, much like it did for the original CD X.
One noticeable change was that the power switch was no longer there. Instead, the machine was turned on and off using the play sensor and an additional touch control. When the device was plugged in, a red LED light verified it. This straightforward control scheme required a sophisticated 4-contact relay to operate. The Beocenter 9000 also made use of this. Aside from this, the user of the original CD X would have been familiar with the remaining controls and external features.

In 1988 you could buy a Sony CDP-750 for half the price of a B&O Beogram CDX 2 and the Sony was a lot easier to operate and sounded better than the B&O.
I must admire B&O for packing average quality Philips gear inside a smoked glass and metal box, and then sell it for 3 times what it's really worth.
Back in 1988 it was marketed towards babyboomers with too much money, and that's still the case today.
Thanks for sharing the disassembly. I wonder how the player managed to gather so much dust inside, but since you're discarding everything it doesn't really matter anymore.
Your comparison of the Sony CDP-750 and the B&O Beogram CDX 2 highlights some key differences that have been widely acknowledged. The Sony CDP-750 was indeed praised for its user-friendly operation and superior sound quality, often at a significantly lower price point than the B&O Beogram CDX 2.
B&O has always positioned itself as a luxury brand, focusing on high-end design and aesthetics. This often means that their products, like the Beogram CDX 2, are more about the experience and the prestige associated with the brand, rather than just the raw technical specifications. The use of premium materials such as smoked glass and metal, and the distinctive design, cater to a specific market segment that values these attributes and is willing to pay a premium for them.
