Beovision 7-40 Mark III connection with Humax CXHD-1000 C (HD-stb)

6 replies

Hello!

 My BV 7-40 Mark 3 has just arrived. I am very pleased with it. But I have som problem when connecting my new HD-stb Humax CXHD-1000 with the 7-40. The sound from the TV is just PCM-sound and not Dolby Digital sound. The STB shows that it sends digital-sound to the TV but the TV just recieve PCM-sound. I use a HDMI-cable. When I look at Discovery HD-channel, the channel send Dolby Digital sound. But why does not the 7-40 recieve the Dolby Digital sound?

 I need help!

Please!

 Regards Martin

Welcome to the BV 7-40  MK III Club 😕

Have you setup the box in the costumer audio menu to Dolby Digital out?

Because 2 channel PCM are set as standard audio output signal..

Because the BV 7 adapts to the incoming signal...

Hello

 I dont know your stb, but some stb dont send the dd 5.1 sound over the hdmi! This is certainly the case for my Sky HD stb. For this stb I had to also connect its optical output to an sp-diff via a converter to my BS3.

Hello! I have talked to Humax servicecenter and they said to me that Humax CXHD-1000 dont send 5.1-digital sound over the HDMI. So I have to connect the SPDF-cable to get 5.1-sound. Thats sad.
Hello Fredrik! Do you have the Humax CXHD-1000 box yourself?
