KMA, I just received my BV11-55 last week and still going though all the features and menus. I have two issues which perhaps you may be of assistance. First I cannot get the headphones to work - essentially the sound continues to come out of the TV speakers. Is there some special setting that is needed for the headphones to work as far as you know?

The second issue is more feedback from you (and others). When I look at the at the edges of the TV I see the LEDs, is this normal or should they be invisible? The reason I ask is that I noticed while I was watching a blu-ray that the black bars on top and the bottom are not pitch black, but rathei see a white beam from the edges. This happened with one particular blu-ray, and the room was completely dark. Have you noticed this at all?

And the third, is there a more descriptive manual explaining each of the menu features in more detail? The help button on the TV is very limited.

 

Thank you in advance...

Hi rxcohen,

I haven't used headphones with the TV yet, but muting sounds like the right solution.

As for seeing the LEDs at the edges of the screen, I haven't noticed such issue with my BV11, and I've watched it in the dark. Do you see the beams with all sources, or only blu-ray? You could try this while watching a blu-ray: go to SETUP -> PICTURE -> PICTURE ADJUSTMENT -> ADVANCED SETTINGS -> ADJUST (THE NAME OF YOUR BLU-RAY SOURCE) and try changing the CROPPING/OVERSCAN setting. You could simply have some "underscanning" going on with the blu-ray source, so check if changing Cropping/Overscan helps.

About manuals: if you only got the "daily use" guide with your TV, you can download a more extensive User Manual from B&O's web site. Just look for BeoVision 11 under Customer Service. There's also a separate guide of the advanced audio settings on the downloads page for BV11.

Hope this helps!

Back in the shop today.  I can confirm that this is the way it works.

KAM and Russ...thank you for the information. I will try both and play some more. I did get the beams while watching blu-ray, so perhaps that could be eliminated with the settings. There is definitely a small manufacturing defect with the seam between the glass and the panel not being perforated, but if that does not cause any problems then I would be fine with it. I will look for the dust inside the screen over the next week.

Cheers...

Hi rxcohen it sounds like your tv has backlight bleeding where the corners of the screen shine beams of light, i would contact b&0 if the settings your going too try doesn't solve your issue.

HI Guys, I am now the proud owner of BV11 40 which I have to say is a terrific set however I have one question which perhaps people could help with.

Is there a way of displaying both the digital and analogue tv signals at the same time. I have a cctv camera pictures wired into the analogue aerial system but cannot see with the current software how to display both at the same time.

The tv found the 1 analogue channel which was the cctv channel so it is there but i can only seem to display Tv via either the digital terrestrial tuner or the analogue tuner, not both at once.

Thks

You could buy a standalone analog tv-tuner and connect it to the analog input of the BV11.

Use google to search for the tuner in your area!

Tune it into the frequency of your cctv camera and let it stay on that channel.

With the PiP-function it would be easy to access the camera while watching tv.

Hi all.  Well I have just jumped in with an order for a 55" BV11 with a pair of BLab9, Apple TV and Playmaker.  Very excited to be receiving it all in about 2 weeks.  The forum has been a great help in aiding me to make the decision to get this setup, but not much activity in the last couple of months.  Any new experiences with the BV11, issues or installation considerations that I might like to consider before the kit arrives.

I am really hoping to drive the BL9 with the playmaker for classical music a lot via AirTunes.  Any observations on the best format in iTunes to archive the CDs into as a new iMac is also coming soon and I hope to rip most of my CDs again to the best advised format.

thanks for any help!
