And when connecting the HDMI-DVI lead. Make sure that the resolution supplied by the source, is 576p, 720p or1080i.
Supplying 1080p will not work.
Beneath the frame on the left lower corner, there are some panasonic switches and a infrared eye for panasonic remotes.
By repeatingly presses on the input switch, the panel must give a picture from the DVI.

Thanks for your reply!
So it's impossible from my MacMini to use the VGA? But if I would try with a PC with "real" VGA-output it should work?
I have now tried to set the same settings for SLOT 2 instead (The TV's on the wall so I was not 100% sure that the DVI-card were in SLOT 1 or 2).
Still no picture.
Just to make eveything clear, this is my setup:
BeoVision 4-50 MKIII / BeoSystem 2 MKIII, Mac Mini early 2011.
I have connected it as follow: MacMini (HDMI) - to a HDMI to DVI Adapter - And up to the screen with a high-end KRAMER DVI-I cable. I have not connected anything else (no sound).
In the settings i have tried to map it as follow:
VGA-input PDP Slot 1 PDP Slot 2
VGA/YPbPr None DVI-D
CVBS on CVBS on CVBS on
Decoder ---------- Camera
And under the connections menu:
CAMERA
PC (DVI)
Of course I have tried vice versa with SLOT 1, 2
And i press the PC button on my Beo4 = TV changes to source PC, no picture (all black).
Can it be because I am using a DVI-I cable instead of DVI-D? Probably not?
Or could it be that my DVI-card is broken or not installed correctly? I thought they were installed from the factory on the MKIII?
Thanks a lot for trying to help me out :-)
Best Regards,
Marcus
Thanks! Actually I have a Panasonic IR-remote so i tried. And the TV changes source 3 times, and it's clearly different when I get back to the source that is selected when pressing PC on my Beo4. The two other sources are completly black and this one is more darkgrey.
So i think that my BS2 are selecting the right source but the TV will not accept the signal. I connected my MacMini via HDMI-HDMI to my old SONY LCD-TV and changed the output reslotion to 720p, but still no picture.
I guess I should try to go from Mini Displayport to DVI and use the same DVI-DVI cable?
What do you guys think? 😮
It's so annoying that I can't get the computer picture up on the TV. That's the only thing missing in my new living room :-)

If I'm right, MacMini has only a digital video output. I have a Macmini from 2008 and is one latest with both digital and analog video. My Macmini has a DVI connection instead of the newer and smaller digital video connector.
Do you have another source with a hdmi connector? If've used the DVI for both the Dreambox 8000 (DVI) and a Playstation 3 (hdmi).
The only catch was to have a source with the right resolution at the start.

Thanks for all help!
The problem is now sloved! I used a Mini displayport to DVI adapter and a DVI-I - DVI-I cable. Works perfect after a few adjustments and settings.
Once again, thanks to everybody for your help!
Hi,
Great that you've got it working.
@beobuddy: which manual did you take the pic DVI installation from? I've looked through all my BS2/BV4 manuals and could not find it.

@beobuddy: which manual did you take the pic DVI installation from?
From the bs2 mkIII on page 28.
To use the DVI you have to have at least 15.2/16.2 software in your system.
