Hi Again Westwood

You have the wrong adapter. :(

It MUST be input HDMI and Output SCART (RGB)  and it must have an external Power supply. A new one price will be less than 50£ properly 30£  Some are offered very cheap but they are HDMI to SCART (CVBS=Composite video signal)

Then it will work, and if properly setup you will get a fantastic picture and sound in Dolby Digital. The BV 5 is a fantastic TV both with sound and with the Plasma Screen.

Many BV 5 owners are using that solution.

I have one question, does your BV have 5 RCA plug (Phono Sockets) in the at the rear together with the Dolby module and the three Scart sockets. ?

See if they will swap or refund you.

The adapter I used (see earlier answer) worked perfectly well for me on my Beovision 5. (and still working on my Beocenter 1 TV), it was under £15 on amazon. I use it with a scart adapter that was about £3 and cables I already had.

Hi Fritz,i've been trying to send you a picture of the back of my tv but i don't know/can't seem to upload it to you(told you i was rubbish with tech) there are however 5 small pin sockets at the top and to the right of them there are 2 single hole sockets and then below all of those(the 5 small pin sockets and 2 single hole sockets)are 3 scart sockets...

Does it look like this? (Taken from my BV5 user manual.

Hi,yes that is what the back of my tv looks like..

Initially I had an Apple TV on my adapter plugged into the AV scart socket and went into the TV settings to ensure the AV scart was enabled. I could the use the apple PUC to control the ATV. It worked brilliantly for me. I now use the same adapter in my Beocenter 1 TV (scart only) and it works perfectly. 

As fritz says, you'll need to replace your adapter as it is not the correct one. Hopefully they will refund you or swap for the correct version.

Hi Again Westwood

No picture needed, message well understood

You have a BV 5 MK one.

You need a adapter HDMI input to SCART (RGB output) this will give a perfect picture and sound.

Good Luck
