There is a manual available - I scanned it in on the old Forum! I probably have a copy though looking for the DVD drive at present!! Keith should have it on file - This is B&Os fault for giving completely different devices the same number!!  I am sure we can get this changed.

Is this it?

Thank you so much for your reply. I did find the manual for the 4000 that seems similar. The 3200 is Such a beautiful thing. Seems to work beautifully with an old pair of NAD 20 speakers. But I know nothing and really don’t want to hurt it.

I have found it - the user manual is not huge!!

The BM3000 is an excellent machine - was the mainstay for a while and the final iteration of this design, the 4400 was probably the best balanced receiver they made. The 8000 was more powerful and had a fantastic performance but was gigantic and was a real statement piece which really only worked as a whole system (in which it was fantastic) but was hard to fit sensibly in most environments! I have had two of these systems and have sold them both preferring a more elegant BM4400 and BG4000 system.

Peter and Guy,thank you both for your help.  Peter, that indeed is what I was looking for. I am sure I will be back with more questions. In the meantime thank you again
