(duplicate post)

Hi guys. Any more ideas, please? I am willing to try anything at this point since none of the previous suggestions worked. It's very strange that BS3 will stop powering up BV4-65 just after sitting in storage for a few years. It was very carefully packaged and handled under my own supervision.

P.S. Wish this forum had a bounty feature. I wouldn't mind to pay some $$ to whoever helps me solve this issue.

Have you tried other BV4 options (like the 50" D12) with the highest resolution? The screen size really doesn't matter as the protocol is the same for all Panasonic plasmas. Also check on the Panasonic setup (with the Panasonic remote control) that the input is set to RS232, not Ethernet. Maybe why the signal is being ignored.

Have you tried factory resetting the BS3? The fact that you don't see BNO Dx is an indicator the panel is not being recognized properly by the processor. Try a factory reset to see if you have better results.

Yeah, I've tried pretty much every option on that menu. No luck with 50" either. I've checked the Panasonic menu and i am not sure where where the input option is being set. I've checked every one of them and I don't see such option. I've added the pictures of the Panasonic menu I see here:

Thank you for chiming in, BeoMegaMan. I've tried the "Reset to Default Settings" option under Service Menu. If this is the same as "factory reset", then it didn't make any difference, unfortunately.

Still think that the RS232 is the culprit. 

Put the panasonic menu in picturemenu with pana remote. 

Then change the picturesettings (brightness or contrast) in the BS3 picturemenu. 

Now you should see changing values in the panasonicmenu. If it does, then you have the confirmation of a working RS232 cable.

Всем привет!

У меня аналогичная проблема. My Beosystem 3 не управляет моторизованным стендом и не включает телевизор на beo 4. 

Я могу включить beosystem 3 на beo4, но я могу включить телевизор только кнопку «power on» на panasonic. 

Я подключаю RS232 серийный и разворот. 

4 дня назад все сработало.
