I am not sure, but could it be something to do with the Config ?
My VMEM Beo4 has the option of changing the Video Config to -Video 1,2,3 or 4. Mine is set to video 1 at the moment.
One of my AV type Beo4s has the video options of  Avant, AV5, MX, AV9000 or None.
This may be nothing to do with your problem but it can't do any harm trying different configs, can it?

Well, it seems your upgraded Beo4 has been upgraded with an out of date board which is a surprise.

To see the latest software version displayed on the screen of the Beo4 press STANDBY and LIST simultaneously, then press MENU and GO simultaneously to see EEPROM version which on my recently purchased unit is EE 6.1

If I now press LIST I see the software version of SW 5.00

I would take your Beo4 back to your dealer because it clearly has not been updated to the required version. There is no reset to factory settings, you just need the correct EEPROM version.

I was also surprised to note that you have sold your Beo5, what were your reasons for taking this action ?

@Andy: Tried it but without succes

@Keith: I thought the same but now I've changed it 2 times, so in fact hard to imagine that B&O makes a mistake like this. Back to the dealer tomorrow.

Regarding the BEO5, well, I just don't like to way you have to operate it. I really loved the way you can set it up, the icons, the macro's and some other extra's. After a lot of different trials and a lot of uploads I came to a great setup, we used it for 3 days and came to the conclusion that for the daily 'work' we still prefer the good old BEO4.

I'm disappointed because I was waiting a long time for my new toy and maybe I should have given it a longer time to get used to it.

What I didn't like: Pressure on touch screen, 'greasy' screen, weight balance if you use some knobs, not be able to use some functions when it's flat on the table without taking it up (especially stand and light functions).

It's a great concept but I prefer a reworked BEO4 with some BEO5 functionalities preferably without touch screen.

Thanks for your input! 

To change the Beo4 config to AVANT:-

• Press "STANDBY" and LIST at the same time.
• Move the up/down pointers until CONFIG appears then press GO
• Use the up/down pointer to select either Video or Audio then press GO
• Move pointer up/down to select AVANT then press OK

Common Video options available is MX, BV1, None, AV5, BC1, AVANT, AV9000 and AVANTUS

The above depends on the software version of your Beo4

I have a very old BEO4 (V.TAPE, SAT, A.TAPE version) I really miss the DVD key (have to use LIST + CDV). Can that be upgrade with new keys and pcb to the latest version? If so please let me know what to order (part numbers) and the estimated cost.

Keith,

I never understood what to do with these settings. With my new PCB the config options are VIDEO 1, 2, 3 or 4 and AUDIO 1 or 2. Any idea what this can change in my setup -> Beosystem 3 steering a BV5 and a Beosound 4 through masterlink.

Thanks 

What is the partno of the servicekit with the latest pcb?

Thanks
