My new “old Beovision5”

[emabonacchi]

Hello and first of all, scuse me for my bad english.

I bought a “Beovision5” in early 2002. It was a “status symble”!…….. amazing! But the best was the “audio” output….. no other surround system in my opinion was better.

 

Some years later, someone stop analogic Tv receiver……. so i installed a “decoder”……. I was veru angry but “Lintronic” helped me using “Beo4” as the only remote needed.

 

In 2014 “Beovision 5” has gone down…… I called B&o assistance and they have token away my Bv5 for repairing this……

So i bought a “Beovision 9” while Bv5 was in repair……

 

Year passed…….. and “Beovision5” was dead with no hope resurrection…….. So i told turn it back home.

 

“Bv5” was return to me disassembled, not working at all and very damaged in external looking…… i was veru sad.

So i decided to “make myself” and renew my adored and loved “Bv5”!

First of all, i bought a “Beosystem3” (the best processor ever!) and i fit this into my ikd “Bv5″ case.

Then, i bought a new Lcd monitor…….. a simple tv 43″” connected to “Beosystem” tv out. Very difficult to configurate!!!!!…..

Welll, a decoder connected to “Beosystem”, my audio “Bang and Olufsen active speaker system” connected to “Beosystem” and my “old Beovision5” is ready to restart!……

The “trick” has been adding an “Arduino” board.

“Arduino” board heard any command sent via “Beo4” or via “domotic system”. They are tha same.

If i press “Tv” on “Beo4” or if you press a button on the touch panel placed into the house, Arduino board receive this and turns on “Beosystem”, the Tv monitor and the decoder.

If i press the “Power” button on “Beo4” or domotic system set a scenary in wich audio or video myst be “off”, “Arduino board” turns off Beosystem.

I can turn on or off radio, tv and set volume, change channel  and any other things even via Beo4 or via domotic system.

I finally can press “Tv” button on “Beo4” controlling the decoder connected away……… because if i press  “Tv” on my “Beo4”, the signal out is “Sat” as i decided.

 

My old “Beovision 5” is now better beauty than it was when it was built and it works updated to the new standards….. It can also play and recorder any audio or video files because it has an “Hard disk” inside……

It will ever be “a status simble”…….. it will never die!
