DVI does not transport sound, so you will have to connect the sound connection using a separate cable can configure it in the menu.

Only HDMI has sound.

I suggest now that you are a member that you run the PCG every time you connect something as it will tell you how to connect it the best.

p.

The PCG is not really that comfortable and it does not include the BS5

How is sound transported from BS5 respectively the BS5 main Box, just by ML? Or is it the Line (one plug?) out and where does line out go to into the BV7-40?

Actually both HDMI and DisplayPort support sound (DVI does not) HDMI already appears as a technology that'll be phased out mid-term.

Well I thought HMDI 1.9xx, 2.5xx, then 6.7xx were the future proof (non-backward compatable) connection standards that everyone harped on about and demanded to have in every B&O product!

When are we all going to realise most of this stuff is gimmick for the far-Eastern electronic companies to sell us the same stuff.

No-doubt DisplayPort will be another compatability nightmare (I know what it promises - but so did HMDI) and digital rights management censorship.

May it not last long.

Thanks a lot. Worked fine of vista.

BV7 "TV" has been added. Was hoping to see BM5/BS5....

I am sure we will add it once it is on!
