BV7 FORMAT 0 "help"

13 replies

Dear All,

I have a BV7 on which I recently attached to a Panasonic PT-AE4000 projector. When I press "Format 0" the electronic curtain works then TV shows "wait" then nothing 😭   finally picture comes back on BV7.

No signal on projector ! 

I tryed on different sources DTV, VMEM... and it's the same problem. 

Any idea ?

Just pm your model of BV7 and I'll see if I can help.

Have you set cinema timing in costumer service menu??

Hi Anderson,

I know how to access to the Service Menu but I don't know where are the "Cinema Timing" menu.

Which setting should I enter ?

Thanks,

Mat

Anders is talking about customer service menu. Press MENU - down to OPTIONS - press RED - GO. Now you should have the customer service menu. Now press ADJUSTMENTS - here you should find cinema timings. 

Please tell us what BV7 you own. Sounds like your BV doesn`t detect the projector. As far as I know the Pana is a full HD projector. If you have a BV7-40 MKII it`s max. resolution is 1366 x 768.

Thanks for helping me.

My BV7 is type 9312 with latest software and HR READY KIT installed.

The projector is FULL HD (Panasonic PT-AE4000) but i tryed to "FORMAT 0" the DVD and my STB (SD source) and the symptoms are the same.

I don`t think it depends on the video source. The BV7 sends a 1366x768 or 1280x720 picture and maybe your Panasonic "expects" a 1920x1080 picture. So they won`t "understand" each other.

Sorry I don`t know what a "9312" is Is it a BV7-40 MKIII (withh 4 HDMI inputs) or a BV7-40 MKII with single DVI input?

Stefan

My BV7 is MKII with single DVI input.

I made cross checking:

1.connect a standard lcd PC screen to BV7 => same symptoms as the projector no picture

2.connect a PC to the projector with low def via VGA => the projector accept the input with no problem.

According to these test the problem come from BV7, no ?

Hi,

I had the same problem with Panasonic PT-AX200 a couple of years ago. The projector didn´t work with my BV 7-40 MK1.

I changed the projector to Sanyo PLV Z5 and everyhing worked as it should. So I guess that BV 7-40 MK1 and MK2 won't work with Panasonic projectors.

Mr Andersson might know more about this subject because he gave me valuable advice in the old forum!

Regards

Hi,

This is not a good news as I do not plan to change my projector soon (4 weeks only).

But it is strange as I tried to connect the VGA of BV7 to a standard LCD computer screen and it should work but it doesn't.
