You should be able to get an HDMI to DVI connector ... see Wikipedia's description:

 If you do this you will definitely only get video.  You will need to use the audio via optical.  Does your BV7-32 have an optical connection with the same input for the DVI?  If so it should work.  I say that's why they included the optical because some older HDMI to HDMI had compatibility issues and unfort didn't stream audio (although i never faced this). 

BeoVision7 does not have optical input only coaxial. You will need an optical to coaxial convertor to get audio into the television.

thank you for all your advise . i did the HD upgrade and have the coaxial input . anybody tried that kind of optical to coaxial convertor ?

I am using a converter with my set top box (dreambox) and beosystem 2 (with attached panasonic display).

Around 15 Euro on ebay.

A cheap one is enough, it is only digital conversion.
