Thank you for this info.

I have followed your instructions and can now switch the tv on and off.

The issue still remains that the back light on the tv comes on but no signal is going to the tv from BS2.

I cant even get the menu screen to appear? its like the BS2 is not sending AV to BV4.

I understand that you cannot get the menu to come up without a source being displayed, is there something i am not doing?

How do you select a source from the outputs on BS2? does it auto select?

Does the BS2 need activating as per top of this thread?

Please help! :)

Also............ If the Cable from the BS2 to BV4 was faulty, it wouldnt send the signal to switch on and off the monitor would it?

I dont think the cable is at fault?

The screen is switched on/off by singals on the serial cable. Video signals are going through RGB.

Just to summarize:

When you press TV on your Beo4 the IR-Eye shows green and the system starts up turning on the BV4?

At this time you shous see the signal from areal (at least snow)

Your RGB is running from BS2 RGB socket to BV4 PC-In socket?

When you then press Menu on the Beo4 the on screen menu should appear, OK?

if not: A simple way to check the RGB signal is, to connect alternatively a PC monitor instead of BV4. Do you see a TV signal and on screen menu?
