Hi, not posted for a while but still cant resist buying B&O stuff as there is so much of it on ebay...

So I acquired a BeoVision 7 (Type 9354, not sure what version this is?) with Beolab 7.2 speaker and motorised stand as the weekend. Looks amazing and got it linked up to my Youview STB quickly via a HDMI to DVI lead (had to change the output res on my STB to 720p first). Picture comes through fine but no audio which i am aware is due to the fact that DVI transmits only the picture part of the HDMI transmission and not the audio. So my question is this, what is the recommended way to get the best possible Picture and Audio output from a STB (that only has HDMI output) into a BV7 that has pretty much everything but HDMI (Scart, DVI, Component etc).

I would say its a MK III

More regarding the versions can be found here.

Most people I have seen have used a HDMI - > DVI adapter, and taken the sound into a phono red/white input on the BV7.

Thanks! So does that mean i need a HDMI to DVI with separate Audio outputs? Do these exist? Cant see a separate dedicated Audio output from my YiewView box:

Hi,

there's an optical SPDIF connector just left of the HDMI socket :)

Get a cheap converter from TOSLink to RCA SPDIF and connect it to the BV7 :)

Search on amazon or eBay for: 'toslink to rca'

Definitely not a Mk3 as that had 1080P, a different chassis and HDMI ports. It would likely have been priced higher. Therefore it’s either a 1 or 2.

9354 should be a BV7-40 MKI.

BV7-40 MKI and MKII had 720P and the red dot display.

MKIII was the first with Beosystem 3 integrated, 1080P and white display.

Thanks all.

Another question: what would be the best way to connect an Amazon Firestick?

If you want to connect two or more HDMI devices to your BV7 DVI socket I would recommend  an HDMI switch preferably with an audio extractor for the HDMI output socket.

Thanks Stefen. If I was just going to connect the Firestick on its own? DVI (with split Audio) or SCART?
