The type number of my BV7 is: 9361. A Mark2 if I understand correctly?

The ATV3 was connected via a hdmi --> DVI-I input and the audio came from the optical port, via a converter to the two jack connectors associated with the AV4 port.

In the connections menu the modus for AV4 is set to DVI-I.

Thanks - that all makes sense.  In that case if you are happy that the ATV4k and all associated leads are working, it may well be worth trying the audio extractor that I linked to above, and connect its analogue L&R outputs straight into the two AV4 jack connectors.

That for helping! 

If I understand you correctly I can drop the optical audio part of the setup, and go for a cheaper HDMI extractor?

The one you linked to is currently not available, and an other small problem with Amazon is that not all of the vendors ship to Norway...

There are some webshops in Norway which sell HDMI extractors, are there some pointers to see which one works with the ATV 4K?

Yes drop the optical part as it is no longer needed in your setup, as long as you use an audio extractor with analogue outputs. 

Sorry can’t help with other ATV4k extractor recommendations - there may need to be some trial and error involved!

I will drop the optical part and opt for an analog output on the extractor.

I will prepare myself for some trial and error in finding the right audio extractor. When I'm succesfull I will put up a link for future references 🙂

One down, more to go :)

Just tried a new audio extractor without success. Bought one from an all electric store. Neither video og sound on the ATV 5th. gen, and interesting enough only sound with the ATV 3rd gen.

Tried all the cables involved directly from 3rd. gen. into Beovision, with crisp and clear video. As soon as I put the audio extractor in between the video disappeared.

Maybe I should opt for the one the B&O shop recommended.

I find it strange though that there is such a big difference in between audio extractors...

What could be the answer to that?

Hi!

I knew about the 720p limitations, but the "non auto-negotiable" part may explain a bit.

The BV7 is "set" to 720p via Connections --> DVI-I so that should be good. I can use a computer monitor at work to set the ATV in the right resolution.

Nice to try something that doesn't involve buying a new mass produced electronics gadget :)

Thanks!

Since all the shops are closed today, and ordering something from a web store takes some time, I went to my work and connected the ATV to a 4k screen, just to be sure.

The ATV is working, and I could set the resolution to 720p 60Hz.

When I came back home I connected the ATV directly to the BV7 and it worked! When I connected the audio extractor the screen went black, checked the HDMI cables, and I had one which didn't like the signal from the new ATV, so I changed that one, and now its working like a charm.

Thank you all for chipping in answers and reflections!

cheers, Fabian

Great news - and thanks for letting us know that it worked!

I have just been 'playing' with an ATV4 HD and a recently acquired BC6-26.  I had similar blank screen problems, but after swapping lots of hdmi cables and connectors it suddenly worked.  Trying to get old and new equipment working together can be a bit 'hit and miss', but it's very satisfying when it works!

(EDIT: My resolution settings that worked for BC6 were 720p 50Hz RGB High)
