Hello everybody and scuse me for my bad english.

I am trying to use a Beosystem3 "dvi screen out" going into an hdmi source of a Philips 43'' television. The result seems ok, but this is unreliable because every minute or two, signal is lost, screen is black and then, after about one second, signal is ok again.

 

I have changed  Hdmi cable, but nothing changes. I suspect a "resolution problem" because with other televisions, i have no problem.

 

Can you suggest some kind of settings i can try?

All seems to be ok. A new decoder, a new controller for bluetooth Ps4 command, a new interface for ethernet control integrated in my domotic system and a new life for my old Beovision5.

All controlled from the original Beo4 remote via the original receiver on the upper side of Beovision5.

But only last problem destroy all my job. It's impossible to watch tv when every minutes or two screen signal is lost.......... And i really don't know how to solve this.

Even the rear side of my old Beovision5 i have fine cutted and modifyed with my hands in order to have a nice black door bordered in alluminium. Over that door, i can easily access at the Beosystem3 connections and at the new Hard disk in wich i have stored all my photoes and my favoutite films.

It was a real hard job, and i am proud about this.

Great project but a frustrating problem!

I had a similar problem with DVI but in my case I was trying to feed an Apple TV (hdmi) into a BC6-26 DVI input - the picture would 'blink' every few minutes.

One thing you could try (although it didn't work in my setup) is a 'EDID Emulator'.  I don't know or understand much about them so you'd have to do your own research, but they are used to solve display incompatibilities in many applications and may be worth a try if you have exhausted other options.

Perhaps others have better knowledge of the use of BS3 with alternative (non-B&O) panels and can help further.

Good luck - please let us know how you get on.

Could you try the following:

Go to the Beosystem 3 customer service menu (the one accessible by the red arrow in the Beo  4: MENU , then move the cursor to Options, then red arrow and GO) , then to screen configuration.  Set the screen type to generic and output resolution to 1920X1080. Try it first this way. If the synchronization is not correct, change the framelock setting.

When I repaired my Beovision 7 (which has a Beosystem 3 inside), I was able to check the video engine by connecting a computer screen to it with the second DVI output and it worked fine for an indefinite period of time. But the output resolution must be forced to 1920X1080.

So first check the screen settings in the menus before ordering an EDID emulator.

Good luck,

Jean

If you do experiment with these settings, take photos of the current settings so you can restore them if you mess anything up.

Hello and thanks for your reply. I am doing many and many and many trying from months, buto the problem is not solved. It seems i am not able to find the menu tou suggested. In "Options" i press "red arrow" and go, or "0 0 go", but i really can not find the "screen configuration". However, after many and many try, i can tell "EDID emulator" is not the solution. And i can tell the problem source seems to be "Playstation 4" connected to "Dvd source". U did a "giant work" and i am very frustrating because this seems to be a very stupid setting problem able to destroy all mi job......

I have had the same issue with a Philips TV connected to a Playstation 4.

It had no issues when connected to other HDMI sources such as a Raspberry Pi and/or Blueray Player.

I resolved the issue by adding an HDMI splitter between PS4 and TV. It must have fixed handshake or HDCP issue.

Like this one:
