Beosystem 3 screen out to Hdmi

31 replies
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……
Hi emabonacchi, this is the text from the BS3 service manual: It is important that you only place the 'cursor' on 'OPTION'. Don't press go yet.  'OPTION' only needs to be highlighted, then press the red button and GO. Hope this helps. I will try on my BS3 to reconfirm. Regards, Johan

Just tried myself and could not yet find a way to configure to 1920x1080. Will seek some more.

Also have been checking the Service Menu:



But did not find it there either. Could it be because we don't have a B&O screen connected?

Sorry that I cannot help you any further! Johan

I think i have foud the menu you are talking about in "Connection" then "Display 1 output".

It seems a very risky menu..... i suspect a wrong configuration make all the system unusable and i am afraid about this.
Really?????

 

Well, i am using as "Display out" just a "Philips Tv"!!..... so i think maybe the problem is into this Tv!

 

All my sources (Decoder and Playstation) go into "Beovision 3" and then go out into "Philips Tv" via "Display out 1". The strange thing is that source "Decoder" seems not to have this problem while the source "Playstation" have this problem.

 

 
Well, as said the HDMI splitter fixed it for me. Many of these cheep splitters are known to remove the HDCP (copy protection).

You could try to disable HDCP in the Playstation Settings.

It will obviously prevent you from seeing some content but it could conclude that the problem is indeed HDCP / HDMI handshake related.
Hi emabonacchi,

jvezina suggested in his post to set the screen to ‘generic’. Will that open the possibility to choose 1920 x 1020? Be careful indeed. Good idea to take photographs of the screen!

Many and many try i have done but no success, and i am veru tired about.....

I am thinking about a "reverse" solution. What do you think about using "Beosystem3" only for the audio?.....

 

How do you think i could connect the system in this way? I can press the "Sat" button (or any other) in B&o4, so Tv turns on and Beosystem turns on. And then?......

Beosystem3 with surround system, gives great great sound even if the sources is only stereo...... i want to be sure it is not lost!. And how can i connect Dvd reader (Playstation) as to have this able to offer 5.1 audio?.....

I am very confused, but maybe this can be a way to walk...... I want to do a nice work but it is not easy and so, any help is appreciated.

Scuse me for my bad english.
In the "Beosystem3", i can see the phone-jack out. Then, i can see "Video in" "L-in" "R-in" "Spdif" and "Ctrl". Then again another set of "Svideo" and "Video in" "L-in" "R-in" "Spdif" and "Ctrl".

What are these able to do? I think they are inputs, i am in wrong? How do they works?
Do you think if i connect a Playstation to the Hdmi in into the Tv and then from the Tv a "Toslink" cable goes into Beosystem3 i can hear a 5.1 audio? If "yes", can you suggest me something about making it working?
