Hi everybody,
I've now used a a BV6-26 for a few weeks, and have found a few problems. Maybe somebody could tell me if my telly is behaving the way all BV6 are? Thanks!
1. "Contrast" control doesn't change the picture one bit. I always looks the same way, no matter if it's in the middle, hard left or hard right. "Brightness" and "Colour" work fine, though.
2. Regarding picture formats, the manual states "If you have chosen Format 1 press << and >> to select variations of this format". Well when I'm pressing those buttons nothing changes for me.
3. Manual states "Press GO if you want to optimise the picture." Well nothing happens when I do so.
4. Manual states "Format 0 will make the picture go blank". It does, but doesn't dim the backlight on mine, so it still lights up considerably, making it not that feasible to use as a simple loudspeaker.
5. Additionally, I tried out the teletext-subtitle function. Problem 1: the top bar of the teletext function (Page, Program, Point, Halt...) stays always visible, which distracts, and no other tv brand that I'm aware of does it that way. Problem 2: While in subtitle mode, tv doesn't display widescreen signals correctly (picture is terribly squeezed, like in mode "Format 3").
6. Combining motor stand and timer: I've set the TV to turn to a different position when turned on. When waking up with the timer, the TV doesn't turn, though.
7. Hot tip: Just found this out: one can have a "sleep timer" function (provided you want to sleep at the same time every night): Create a new timer, and switch "Source" until "standbye" comes up. Handy :-)
8. Program Groups: Selecting a group is easy, but switching back to the mode where you zap through just all programs not so much. I pressed "Exit", but that didn't do the trick. "TV" works, but it's kind of "way up there" on the Beo4. I'd prefer to rest my fingers in the middle. Is there a way?
FYI, the exact type number of the device is 9251.
Thanks for any help!
