Yes. You must connect your BM5 (or BM1) via composite to your Beovision if you want picture on link TVs.

OK, now it works for me too. I have connected the BM5 to my 7-55 with HDMI and SPDIF + using the composite video and Audio L/R on the BM5 and connected these to the SCART connection. I am using the AV2 connection.
And since my BM5 is 15 meters away I had to use a Composite Extender using Cat5e network cables. This works fine also.
But the space in the BV7 for cables is amost used, and I still have to connect a Tvix like the BM5 (without the SPDIF though).
The navigation in the link room works like in the main room, but the picture quality is of course not the same as in the main room.
I think this was the only change with this software update.

@Ingvar: Same here. MX xxxx won`t understand PC command.

- Thanks Stefan, i assumed that that was the problem. Well navigation from link-TV isn´t that a big thing for me, especially when the navigation is on so low level...

We only have a BV8-32 in the kitchen, and have until now used N.MUSIC and N.RADIO = Navigated in Blind. The link navigation works ok for us, and you can also show the pictures as slide show. We have the TV 3 meters away, and from there the picture looks ok.
And the navigation performance is much like the performance in the main room.
But I must admit, you dont get a wauv effect when navigating the BM5 on the TV's. Here B&O leave themselves a lot of room for improvement.

What if you have no Beosound 5 and just Beomaster 5?

I haven't had the update :(

I don't have a BS5, only a BM5. This is also why the navigation from the link room TV's is so important for me.

Hi,

This is because you can only distribute analog signals through link. So there are no options to link DVI or HDMI sources, this should be done as Scart or as composite.

Maybe you can assign the AV port connected to BM5 as V.AUX in the connections menu of your BV7? This should also work with your MX....(?)

I have used V.MEM for my BM5, then I don't have to scan thru the list options to find PC on Beo4. And it is faster to transfer the sound to Master Link (Stereo instead of Mono using AV).

Yes that works with BS3 based BV7s, but if I remember correctly, Ingvar got an earlier BV7-32 and I don`t know if this will work with a -32 the same way....(?)
