Adding a DVD1 to an Avant RF with built in DVD

7 replies
Hello everyone

I've just connected a DVD1 to my mother in laws Avant RF that has a built in DVD prayer, which is broken.

On my 5-42 all I have to do is select DVD and it turns the DVD1 on, and off I go. On the Avant when I press DVD the lid opens!

This is the Beo4 I'm using. What do I do?

 

 

 

 

I seem to remember that you must first go into the service menu and remove the link to inbuilt DVD machine, then plug the external DVD1 in and use the DVD button on the Beo4

OT: Your Beo4 looks quite dirty Chris πŸ˜‰ It screams for a clean-up 😁

the dvd1 can be controled with VTAPE, you must select the appropriate scart and vtape config menu

Thanks, I'll try thatπŸ€’
Ok, I've got a picture but it is in black and white, really good black and white though?!Erm..

How do I get colour?

You need to set the socket to B&O V.Tape and use the V.Tape socket as it is RGB - I have a BC2 attached to my Avant RF with non functional DVD!! Works fine!
