BV7-40 MKIII blu ray problems

3 replies

Hello!

I use a Playstation 3 as blu ray player for my BV7-40 MKIII. They are connected via HDMI. Some of the blu ray discs - although they have no regional code - show no picture (black screen), but only sound (e.g. blu rays of Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, ...)!! I tried a different HDMI 1.3 cable, but still have the same problem.

What´s the problem? Do I need a new firmware? Is it a problem with HDCP? What can I do??

Thanks for help

Have you tried pushing the source button again on the beo4/beo5 after the disc starts? Blu-ray and HD DVD players are notorious for their long start-up times, resulting in the video sync with the Beosystem being lost. Pushing the source button (e.g., V.AUX, etc.) again will force a re-sync with the video.
