Hi,

thanks for getting back to me.

The Screen is connected via RGB and Rs323 from the BS2 and via scart from Sky HD box to the Decoder scart input on the BS2.

I have not got anything configured as of yet as i cannot access any menu screens. Just a blank screen!

I have connected the sky box directly to the BV4 via Component cable and i can get a picture but cannot access menu screen.

Many thanks

Try activating TV then press MENU. Then the setup menu should appear.

This might be a bit obvious but when you talk about connections from the screen to beosystem 2 you don't mention the about the ir sensor without that you won't be able to switch on the system with beo4 remote

Hi,

Thank you once again for getting back to me.

Activating tv? how is this done?

Does the tv need activating is it was pre owned?

Many thanks

Hi Kai,

Sorry yes the IR sensor is plugged in.

When I have the Sky box directly connected to the BV 4 I can switch it on and off, however i cannot use any other remote functions ie volume,txt and so on!

Cheers

Ok it is connected but no function at all!! Make sure that the red light is on the sensor, then point the remote at the sensor press a source eg tv, then see if it blinks if it does not it might be in option 0. You need it to be option 1 to this press list and red dot together you should get the remote saying something press till it says option then press 1, you should see the ur blink if it does that should you. If you do not have a red dot on the ir then it might be wired wrong

I know stating the obvious but:

The BV4 System 2 might not have the chip version in it to control the sky box, I know mine doesn't so I cheated and just linked it via an Avant which did have the correct chip in it.

Also you might want to try the sky box with a Sky remote as it may be outputting via HDMI rather than component, I noticed last night there are signal out steeings in the menus in the Sky HDi box.

Finally I guess is the option to see if the setup on the BV4 is set to accept the AV in the right scart socket, i.e., did you set the connections on the BV4?

Sorry if I can think of more things to try I'll let you knwo when I get home! 🙂

Translation:

Press the LIST button and the STANDBY button (the red dot at the bottom right hand corner of your remote) at the same time.

The screen on the remote controller should read: 'ADD?'

Press LIST twice until 'OPTION?' appears, then press GO

The screen should now be flashing 'V.OPT'

Point the controller at your IR receiver, then press number 1 (the red light should blink at this stage in acceptance of the command)

Press TV on the controller

If the set has not started up this time, then you must have a connection problem elsewhere.

One other thing to check - is the BeoSystem 2 actually on? It can be hard to tell! There's a red button at the top - push this - you should hear a clicking noise inside as it boots up.
