Hi All, 

 

I need some help to know if I can hook up a non-B&O TV to a Beosystem1, with other B&O speakers and Beosound 4000?

Also, do I need a Beosystem1 to hook up my speakers and Beosound 4000 to set up a surround sound system?

Please help and thanks in advance.

Yes you can use other monitors.  You'll need one that can accept either 15-pin VGA or full RGB+H-V video  A pure monitor would be best.  You may have to fiddle a bit with the picture geometry to get it just right.  Panasonic monitors are a natural fit, as they share the chassis with the BeoVision 4, and in the stores we had great success with the Fujitsus as well.  You'll almost certainly have to turn the screen on and off manually, unless there is an 'Energy Star' setting which will do it for you (a trick learned with the Fujitsu Plasma monitors).

If I were to purchase a Beovision 4, does the Beosystem 3 come with it, or is that a separate purchase?

No, they are separate items.

Hi again, I'm wondering if I can hook up Apple TV to the Beosystem 1. The BS1 does'nt have HDMI, and I think ther is only 1 composite jack which is being used by my HD converter box. Can I use the Apple TV and if so how?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the help beobuff, can you tell me the model of the Zektor unit I'm looking for and a ball park price of what this is worth. And again is this my only and best solution?

 

Thanks.

The Zektor Box is a Component Video CVS4. However, there is a special B&O version that can be ordered  through B&O dealers or directly from Zektor. The price is around $480 I believe. It's a great solution. Blu-Ray, AppleTV, HD Cable/Satellite and room for one more!
