Using BM5 in main and link room

3 replies

Hi
I have my BM5 connected to my BV7 in the main room with HDMI and Composite (for link room).
When I turn on BM5 in my link room and afterwards in the main room, then the BV7 does not use HDMI but Composite (SCART) instead. The picture quality is then very poor on a BV7.
If the link room is not using BM5, then the main room use HDMI.

Do you know if this is an intended feature by B&O? Or what can I do?

Thanx.

Hi, right now, the bv7 can only handle one input source at a time. So when you turn on the linkroom, the bv7 has to use the composite signal also...

I'm fairly sure the BV7 can handle two input sources at a time (e.g. on STBs, it will happilly show HDMI images while a link room's watching the modulated SCART).

I believe the issue is that the BM5 won't/can't output two signals at once.
