I'm replacing BeoSystem 1 with Beosystem 3 and need help with setup.
This is the list of components to be connected:

1. Panasonic 60 plasma monitor
2. Speakers: BL8000, BL6000, BL2 BL7-1
3 BeoSound 9000

Before disconnecting completely disconnecting BS1 I have tried following:
1. Connected TV HDMI input - DISPLAY 1 on BS3
2. Connected IR receiver to IR-IN on BS3 (headphone jack type)

Once pressed TV on Beo4 BS light changed from green to orange. I assume BS3 is on.
however TV screen is black, I know that I'm not feeding any video signal to BS3 but I was expecting BS3 menu to be displayed on TV.

Do I need to input video signal into BS3 in order to access the menu?
Thanks in advance

To verify that TV input is accepting HDMI source, connected HDMI to laptop - TV shows the laptop screen, so no problem with the TV input.
I guess BeoSystem 3 is not outputting any signal?

Am unsure if you have to change the IR sensor too - unlikely that the sensor wiring is the same, appears that it isn't triggering RS232 on pin

To my memory, the screen on my Beovision 9 is connected to the Beosystem 3 using a DVI cable. HDMI are only inputs?

Did you try pressing the "menu" button on the beo4 twice to get to the setup menu? Pressing "menu" only once might just bring up the menu overlay for the current device used (e.g., V.MEM, SAT, DVD) - which has not been set up yet so you wouldn't see a menu overlay. Pressing the "menu" button twice is what brings up the BeoSystem 3 setup menu, from which you can select the connected tv and resolution.

Thank you frog!

It looks like what I need however since I'm not able to display any BS menu's I can't get to these settings.
Perhaps someone can suggest sequence of remote operations I can enter to disable autodetect option?

Just to be clear I'm not looking to control Panel at the moment - just trying to get the Panel to show BS3 menus.
