Hi Al,

Best check with your dealer or B&O technical directly - they can tell you straight off the serial number.

I don't recall any issues with BSYS-3 not being compatible on older BV4's - but you best check with the dealer.  If it's not a HD ready panel though, getting a BSYS3 won't help you achieve HD. 

Thanks,

Martin.

If you don't have the DVI input I think your panel is a SD panel, BS3 can only be used with HD or FHD Panels.

I just checked my Beovision 4-50. Looking at the rear from left to right:

Slot 1 Empty

Slot 2 & 3 below: 

AUDIO IN - Right - RCA Phono

AUDIO IN - Left - RCA Phono

S-VIDEO IN

VIDEO IN - BNC

VIDEO OUT - BNC

AUDIO - Right

AUDIO - Left

Component VD - BNC

Component HD - BNC

Component PR/CR/R - BNC

Component PB/CB/B - BNC

Component Y/G - BNC

PC IN - DB-15 Female with Audio Mini-jack

SERIAL - DB-9 Female

Looks like I will need to add a DVI card fofr HD if I want to use a Beosystem 3.

Thoughts/ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Alex,

My Bv-4 is wall mounted and I can't see any serial numbers, etc.I know there is a way to check the panel type by using the Beo 4 thru menu functions, but I can't recall the button sequence, can you or anyone else here help with this?  I purchased my BV-4 in Aug 2006 prior to the BS 3 release.  I think I should be able to utilize the BS 3, but I want to be sure.

The reason I am suspect, is because after the system was installed, I was double checking my serial numbers, etc.numbers to what was on the receipt and I noticed some errors that my dealer could not explain making me think I purchased used or referbished equipment.  I don't think this is the case but it sure would not surprise me if B&O sold me an older panel with new skin!
