Beovision 7-40 mk1 DVB connection

14 replies

Got a Beoviison 7-40 mk1 from 2005, I notice that it has a DVB connection and slots for a smart card. 

In the menu I can choose DVI-I and HDMI 1 to 4 

Its a Mark1 zo there are no HDMI connectios ? (maybe software update)

Is this TV HD Ready ?

Also the DVB connection is this T-S-C ?

I cannot find a Tuner menu to choose DTV

On the back there is a sticker with 8411 on it

Anybody had a 7-40 mk1 with DVB any advice welcome

Anybody ever had a Beovision 7-40 mk 1 ?

Hi,

Are you sure you found that type number on the TV and not on the speaker or stand ?

Not aware of any MK1 with that type number.

MK1 was not HD ready but I think you could upgrade a MK1 to a MK2. On a BeoVision 7-32 MK3 with HDTV tuner (DVB-T/C) you will see a cable coming out of the chassis which is connected to the DVI port on the back of the TV.

In the service menu DVB HD must be activated. You find other post describing how to access the service menu.

Sticker on the TV, is a 7-40mk1 no extra cables, just a extra ariel connectin voor DVB and two smartcard slots ? I guess its voor DVB -S but would like to be sure.

Why not look into the service menu of your BV7? Here you can find typenumber, item number, serial....

all built in modules like DVB, Masterlink....

Have looked in the service menu, but cant see anything about the DVB module ??

Is it supposed to say DVB S or DVB T ?

I guess that I am the only one in the world to have a 7-40 mk 1 with DVB

I questioned the type number.

You did not reply.

What is the type number of your TV ?

 

MK I : 9351-9359

MK II : 9361-9369

MK III: 9370-9384, 9398

 

They do not match yours !

 

I don't have the type numbers of the later models. Sure someone else has.

 

TV is a Beovision 7-40 Mk1 Type  9351

The sticker in question is 1cm above the laser sticker and says *8411*

It is a sticker that the factory or dealer has placed for a update or extra for the tv.

Proberbly the DVB as this was not standard, or it could be a software update.

Ive had many Beovision 7 tv's but this is the first with a DVB connection en CI+ slots

Just want to find out what it is ??

Hello,

The service menu is your friend here. Can you see a Scaler 1 and Scaler 2 menu. If not then the TV does not have the HD board installed. The TV will be limited to 576P from memory.

Good luck Beoaus.
