hi
I read that the bluray drive was optional for the beovision 7 40 mk5 but does it mean that the buyer could choose a dvd drive instead ?
according to you, does the picture quality of a mk5 can be compared to a led mk6 ?
Thank you to our Sponsors

Good evening,
The DVD drive was available only from BV 7 Mk1 to Mk3. From Mk4 and upwards, it was a Blu-Ray drive.
A version of the BV7 was also available without a drive.
I currently own a BV7 Mk3 and it has the DVD drive. A Blu-Ray drive was available for retrofit at some point in time, but it was severely limited in the file formats it could read. So, I decided to keep the DVD drive and add a PS3 for Blu-Ray playback as well as playing HD video files. I still use the built-in DVD drive for standard DVDs as well as CDs and for some video files that the PS3 cannot read (MPEG4 with Microsoft audio codec in particular) and also some files with subtitles.
Best regards,
Jean

Hi jean
thanks for your answer. That's what I read also but I wonder if there was another dvd option.
I checked with the serial number and it was a bluray drive built in.
I just wonder now if there is a big difference in the PQ between a bv 7 mk5 and a mk6.
Hi there.Sorry to hijack this topic but while on the subject of DVD/Bluray drives could somebody tell me if the drive mechanism
from a BV7-40 mk4 should work okay on a MK5 model? Thanks in advance.😕
