BV4-50(D8) with BS2 MKII Help

26 replies

Hi Team , 

 

Have aquired BV4-50 with the D8 pannel and a BeoSystem 2. The Plasma supports up to 1080i but I see that via component the BS2 only supports 720P . Since the BS2 also does not have DVI im unsure of it is at all possible to use the BS2 to get the 1080i signal I get from my HD tuner box to the pannel.

 Any one know if its any way possible ? 

I also have a Yamaha RX-V661 that I think might work but want to use BS2 if I can.  

Tricky. It seems as if you have the BeoSystem 2 MK ll 941x (?), but with or without DVI: HD-Ready is the best it can offer. You will need the BeoSystem 3 for Full-HD. There are HD-Ready kits (one w/DVI & one w/VGA/YPbPr) available.

Thats what I thought :)

 

The D8 maximum res is 1080I and would like to get that. Do you know of how to obtain the HD ready kit ? 

They seem to (still) be available from B&O, so I would give your dealer a call and check.

Roger do you know what the HD ready kit - DVI actually do !

Is the DVI only a input - or is also a output ?

Do you have some more information

Thanks

If you have a D7 (or later) plasma panel that can handle the resolution, you need to install the DVI-card into your BeoSystem 1/2 (slot 1) and this acts as a scaler for the panel. They do also offer a card with VGA/YPbPr connections.

Sorry if I do repeat myself - not sure I understood the last question properly.

I heard that there is a solution for BV5 to, or?

Yes, as long as the BV5 as a serial number higher than 18380842. Just order part no. 1436800.
