Hi all,

I've just got a Beosystem3, thanks to one of our fantastic members Klas!

Just spent the night setting up the speakers to it. It's amazing how much the BS3 can do with the speakers.

However, I have one problem with connecting a PS3 to it. Plugged the PS3 via HDMI to HDMI-A of the BS3, then configured AV2 to use the HDMI-A output and assign it to V.MEM. When I press V.MEM, it comes up with a message on the screen "WARNING CONTENT IS PROTECTED SELECT ANOTHER SOURCE".

Did anyone else have the same issue? Looks like everyone have success connecting their PS3 to their B&O? I have no idea what is missing or what setting I need. :(

Thanks for all advice in advance!

Dear "Beomud"

What kind of screen is connected to the BS3 ? It must be HDCP compliant to have the entire video chain to work if the source uses HDMI and has the HDCP flag set.

Good luck!

Hi Jean, thanks for the advice! I realised afterwards that my screen is not HDCP compliant! No wonder. Because I've tested it on a Dell monitor. Today I connected it to my Panasonic plasma and all worked fine! :)

I've got a second question! I'm trying to connect my Beocentre 2 to the BS3 so that I can watch DVDs through the Beosystem 3. I've got the Masterlink cable between the 2, and set Option 2 and 0 to the 2 units, but when I press AV -> CD to turn on the Beocentre 2, I could only hear sound but no video. Does it mean I need to connect a SCART cable between the 2 still? And if so, which AV port on the Beosystem 3 should I connect it to and how should I set it up? 

Thank you so much!
