So I recently got my hands on a second hand beosysten 3. I am going to use it as an sound processor only. But from what I understand you need to hook up the beosystem 3 to a screen in order to set up the speaker positions etc. so I bought an adapter (mk1 so no hdmi out) so I could connect it to my newer 4K tv, and it would also confirm that it is working. But I cannot get it to show the menu on the tv, I have an “eye” connected and beo remote 4 so I suppose it should be able to receive the signal from the controller. Does anyone know what the issue may be. Thanks for the help best regards Mio Login to view image Login to view image Login to view image Login to view image

Beosystem 3 not showing picture on non B&O tv
10 replies
I believe the issue is that the beosystem 3 is expecting a beovision connected to it on the serial port. Luckily (as I remember, you just need to short a couple of pins on the MONITOR connector - the middle two on the bottom 'thinner' set - the one with the 4 pins - not the 5 pins.
Doing that, then the screen should fire up. you then have to go into the service menu and set monitor autodetect off and set it up as a non-B&O monitor.
Good luck!
Thanks for the answer, what do you mean by short ? Can you describe how I do that. Sorry for the late answer

Shorten pin 2 und pin 3
Thanks for the answer, what do you mean by short ? Can you describe how I do that. Sorry for the late answer
In this context, 'short' means simply to connect the pins together. Best to do so using wire/solder inside the connector (solder side).
From the diagram and explanation, it appears to be pins 7 and 8 that you should connect, rather than 2 and 3.

This refers to Beosystem 2 only (shorten 2 pins).
It should work with Beosystem 3 out of the box - if you there is autodect screen/display availabe in the menu... do not remember if this has to be turn on or off. Search the forum. So you might need a BeoVision 4 screen just for the initial setup...
Any chance you can conect a monitor via DVI to the output of the Beosystem to test it first?

Thanks for the great responses! I have connected a beolink active to the beosystem and can now turn it on(via controller commands). So now the eye turns green, but I still don’t get a picture to show in the tv! It seems that shortening only would work in beosystem 2 I suppose. Any ideas how u should proceed now ? Should it not just show picture on my tv since I have it connected through the dvi Login to view image Login to view image Login to view image
Make sure to connect your tv to DISPLAY 1 output.Display2 is assigned for 2nd display(projector).
