With my BV-6, I have the choice of Format 1, Format 2 and Format 3. The default is Format 1 which cuts off the bottom part of the screen [for example, the stock "ticker" at the bottom of a Bloomberg broadcast]. Format 3 solves this problem and I can select Format 3 manually. Is there a way to set Format 3 as my default so that I do not need to manual select this format each time I watch Bloomberg? The manual seems to be silent on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
i had the same problem with my Avant.
Some kind fellow enthusiast posted the following and it sorted it out..............................
Hi under format 1 there are 3 "sub formats" 4/3 - 14/9 and 15/9 or 16/9 depending on model.
the thing is: you last used "sub format" is the one it will use as default when in format 1. you change the sub format by << - >> or up and down (depending on model) when it's in format 1.
Thanks, all.
Fil: I tried using the << and >> keys but nothing happens [I have tried with two Beo4 remotes]. Could it be a problem with the BV 6 receiving the signal?
When I use the ^ or down key, it only moves the picture up or down. Moving it up cuts off the data shown at the top of the screen along with the top of peoples' heads. Obviously, moving the picture down would not be what I want.
Are you sure you have it set to "Format 1", when you're trying to change it? I have a BV3 and it works, although not with << and >> keys, but with up and down. If I have it set to "Format 2", then the picture moves up and down, like you've said.
Yes, I think so. Using the Beo 4, press "List" until "Format" shows on the remote's screen. Then, press "1" and the TV has a window indicating "Format 1". Then, I try using the << and >> buttons on the remote.
I even have tried the << and >> keys in Format 2.
Have you tried unplugging the BV6, wait for a few seconds and connecting it again?
You could also try to change a setting in the service menu.
Try this:
[MENU] [0] [0] [GO] (you're now in the service menu)
select "TELETEXT & FORMAT ADJUST" and switch "4:3" to "on"
press [GO] to save and exit the service menu
Now try FORMAT 1 and [<<] or [>>]
(maybe you need to put the BV6 in stand-by or unplug it first to get this working)
Be carefull not to change anything else in the service menu, just remember [GO] saves a page and [STOP] or [EXIT] not
