BACKLIGHT ON BV7

17 replies

Can somebody tell me what is a factory setting for backlight on BV7 32" type 9311 and how to increase the backlight? Is 70 correct setting?

Sorry - don't know! The service manual is on site but I can't find the answer!! The picture settings are there but I cannot say back light. Just brilliance.

I just checked the service menu of my BV7 (MKII), but I can't find how to adjust the backlight, so I can't tell you what the initial setting is, as I never changed it. Could you tell me in what menu-page you change that setting, I will check it for you?

In the manual I have, scaler contrast has a value of 136

Hi Peter,

thank you for the answer at the BW forum. My factory setings for BV7 32" type 9311 in the Scaler menu 1 are the same:

brightness 15, colour 23, contrast 50 and scaler contrast 136 as it should be. But I have problems that my TV dimes dark scenes of the films (cable TV) and DVDs very much and the picture gets too dark. This is quite annoying at is happens so quickly (from dark to light and back).

I have contacted Roger who told me that I should try to increase the contrast in the Scaler menu 1 from 50 to 62 but this did not solve the problem. I have also tryed to turn off the film mode but nothing changed. He also told me that the cause could be a defect light sensor.  I had my TV for inspection at the B&O service and averything was OK.

Do you have any idea if there were any problems with BV7 32" type 9311 LCD panels? I have calso hecked the menu "Monitor information" and there are two errors listed. Is this normal? As they are listed with numbers and letters I have no idea what this could be. If you have some knowledge about this matter I can communicate the error descriptions.

Thank you for any help in advance.
