Beocenter 2 to non-B&O TV - HELP STILL NEEDED!!!!!!

33 replies

Hi Beoworlders,

I'm trying to connect a BC2 to a Samsung TV that doesn't have a scart input. I used a Scart -> 3RCA (red, white, yellow) and there is nothing...

Also, which option should I set the BC2 to? Option 6?

I've read the manual and read through the archived forums, but can't get my head around it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🤒

I don't have a BC2 but have also just had a look at the manual. 

The problem could be with your SCART to RCA lead, as the RCAs may well be connected to the 'input' pins of the SCART, rather than the 'output' pins.  I have a similar SCART to RCA cable with a switch on the side of the SCART to select whether it is an input or output - you need the latter.

Alternatively, rather than use a SCART to 3RCA lead, have you tried using RCA to RCA, connecting the Red and White 'Line out' , and the Yellow 'video out' connections of the socket unit to the corresponding inputs on the TV?

Thanks Guy, I'll give that a shot later today.

I have 2 scart leads you can have for nothing if you want.

they are scart > component or scart > composite

maybe worth a try and I will never use them - don't have any scart stuff (besides foxtel boxes) but they're all HDMI now

Cheers

I had a BC2 to a Samsung tv a while ago, it worked great. Scart to RCA to the tv. Did it all work out for you? 

 

OK, so I tried the suggested solution and got the following results:

  • I can get a DVD to play on the TV, and can get sound from a CD. When I select RADIO there is nothing on the TV (it shows 'NO SIGNAL' on the screen) and no sound.
  • The BC2 doesn't respond to the Beo4 when a DVD is playing, only when a CD or the radio is selected.
  • The door opens when the LOAD button is pressed, but the clear disc cover doesn't. If I press load again the clear cover raises up then lowers immediately and the doors close
  • I set the menus as per the manual for the SCART connections

So overall, this isn't working. I used a SCART with the INPUT/OUTPUT switch and a red/white/yellow RCA cable from the CART adapter to the TV.

Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this? If I connect the BC2 to a B&O TV it works perfectly. I'm at a total loss as to how to resolve this

Hi Jonathan,

To which v.Opt did you set BC2? In my opinion it should by set to 1 as it has no ML connection.

DVD Options: SCART SENSO OUT: NO, DVD SOUND: SCART, SCART VIDEO OUT: RGB

Hi hfat,

That's exactly how it is set. I tested Option 0 and Option 2 as well just in case...

If you presss radio of course there Will be no sound at your Samsung tv. There is only sound on the powerlink out for the B&O speakers.

If you want sound from the radio use the aux output to the tv. But i can't imagine why you want to listen to radio true your Samsung tv.

I think you have a Beocenter 2 mk1. You Have to press go go or go arrow up/down to Control it. When the Beocenter 2 is in option 2 off course.

They load button is bot working well. Try an power reset and look if it's working.

This is one point where I'm confused... Why do I get sound from a DVD or a CD but not from the radio????
