  • Re: Beosystem1 and rs232

    Since you do not have a subwoofer, the lack of bass from the subwoofer in "speaker 2" mode when watching a video source is a moot point.  However, I would recommend that you get a DTS box if you want to be able to control the level of the LFE (the .1 channel of a 5.1 signal) channel.  With a Beosystem 1, when no subwoofer ...

  • Opinions Wanted - My System Design

    I am installing B&O in multiple rooms of my condo.  The condo has 2 bedroom, 2 baths, and a kitchen that opens directly into the living room.  Here is the current plan: 1.  Living room - BeoLab3s with a BeoSound 4  2.  Master and Guest Bedrooms each get a pair of BeoVox1s in the wall. 3.  Non-B&O Outside ...

  • Setting up Beosystem 1, Beovision 4-50 System with S-A Explorer 8300HDC - Guidance Requested

    Hi: I'm setting up Beosystem 1, Beovision 4-50, DVD-1, Beosound 9000, Beolab 1, Beolab 2, BeoLab 6000, Beolab 7-2 with a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC set-top HD digital video recorder.

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Hi there....I'm still here and I'm still having a problem......this BeoSystem 1 issue is getting out of hand.....there are now at least 4 of us that have the same problem...I wonder how many people are having this problem that we don't know about.  I think I'll call B&O this week and let them know what is going ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Beoperson, I hope it works......the only thing is that our BS1s are not producing a pinkish picture and our issue is not a switching problem.... we are having with problem with displaying 1080i.   I would still do the HD mod however.  Also, I do recommend Atlantic Systems.  I've used them several ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Beoperson,  The only HD mod that I know of is a resistor (i think) to correct for a pinkish picture (not sure if its for 480p or 1080i) with a certain device.  However, it may do something else or there may be another HD upgrade that I do not know of......I sure do hope this is it.  Are you going to try to get yours fixed?

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Beoperson, You have AP software v 5.0 which is the same version I have in my working BS1.  The version Beotex and I would have in our non-working BS1s is v5.1.  Maybe it is not the software....or maybe its the software with certain internal hardware.  Still...its very odd that we all have the same problem.  Also, I ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Hi there....I am connecting my BeoSystem 1 directly to a Panasonic plasma and I also tried connecting it to a Panasonic projector.....same result.  Don't waist your time with the cable box....the Beosystem 1 only accepts 1080i or 480p over component.  Also, for me I have another BeoSystem 1 that I tried with the same cable ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Oh Boy.....that's not good.  I am having exactly same problem with a Beosystem 1 I bought off eBay.  Video via s-video or 480p via component works fine....but 1080i via component is just as you described.  In bight scenes the image is OK but then in dark scenes it develops a wide dark horizontal banding....totally ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    In that case the only thing I can think of is that the component connection can't be connected/disconnected while being viewed.  Try hooking up the component cables ONLY and try switching to another source (such as DVD) and then switch back to it.  Verify that you have the correct connections for the component ...

  • Re: New addition to B&O product line. BeoSystem 1 - questions and concerns

    Hi there.....there is an easy fix for your situation.  Do not connect the cable box to the BS1 using s-video.  Instead, connect the cable box to the BS1 using a component cable (3-wire cable).  The component input connection for the BS1 is on top of the BS1 and not in the back with the other connections.  You do not need ...

  • Re: Beosystem1 and rs232

    R Patton, Remember, if using a sub, the issue only pops up when you use "speaker 2" on a video source.....thus if you do not do this it will not be an issue.  The "DTS box" isn't too expensive....I think it was $100-$150.  Also, I would only try the DTS box if I was going to use a BL2 and only if the BL2 was ...

  • Re: Beosystem1 and rs232

    Sorry for the delay in responding to your previous questions......in any case........  mhodges, Did you ever resolve the issue?  I would stick with the 560 code.  There are no other RS232 settings that I am aware of.  I think I know the issue you are referring to. I have a Beosystem 1 hooked up to a TH-42PH9UK and ...

  • Re: Beosystem1 and rs232

    Your setup should work........In the PROJ/SCREEN setup change the number to "560"  This should work but you need at least software version 4.7e for this code to be included in the Beosystem 1.  If you do not have the latest software for the Beosystem 1 and it would not be too much trouble to bring it to a B&O ...
