Dear Curmudgeon,

By the time the first TV arrives with your dealer, I should have the first batch of Powerlink converter cables to allow you to play sound from the V1 out to the Aux input of the BeoMaster 7000.

If you want to drop me a line when you have had a chance to look at the TV, I will be able to confirm exactly which cable you need to add a V1 into your setup.

Kind regards, Steve.

Location: The cable workshop, England

Thanks for the quick reply, Steve!

Actually, the point of considering the V1 in the first place was to have a digital 5.1 processor and a center channel. If the picture is better than what I have currently, that's just gravy, but it had better not be any worse! 😕

Sooo..., what I really need to do is to run my phono, FM and CD output from the BM 7000 to the V1 and am looking for a "STEREO 4" output / downsampling to my BL 3's, BL 11, the V1 speakers and my M70's in the rear (running off an ML/MCL.

What I need is the opposite of what you're suggesting, right? But I've no idea how this would operate.

I'm also dubious about the V1 / Beo4 operation of my 5.1 HDTV cable box as well. No doubt B&O has this figured out for Europe but here we have many providers, all using different gear and loads of "on demand" menus. I'll need to be convinced.

Just an aside that in Struer we did FINALLY see on the last day the ceiling mount. It is most interesting as it is two pulleys where the top right and bottom right corners are connected via a single cable. And similarly for the left side. This means you are able to gently tilt the TV from an almost vertical pitch to an almost horizontal pitch. For all I know you might even be able to swivel through the horizontal pitch and inverted it. Not that would useful as the V1 is not an iPad and would not know it has to rotate its image .... but still it is a cool idea !!

Ed, safely back from Skagen and off to see Christiania

I've seen the V1 last week at my dealer. Within two or three minutes it was clear: I desperately need one. There is just one problem: I'm still searching for a room where to install it.

I ordered two today, one white 40" for me and one black 40" for my old neighbour, a nice lady that also appreciate b&o :). My dealer told me that it takes about ten days because they make them to order in struer.

 

My first new-bought b&o tv!

Apparently it suffers from severe picture lag and is useless for gaming. I think this is a missed opportunity for its target market.
