BV8-40 owners please help

9 replies

Hi all, 

I been messing around in some settings which I probably shouldn't have touched in the first place...

My TV picture is rather dark... will a friendly BV8-40 owner please check their TV setting in the following menu...

Press:  Menu / 0 0 GO / Monitor / Picture adjustments / Picture adjustments / Adaptive Backlight

BL High              ???
BL Low               ???
PW Debug          ???
Direct BL Adj      ???

Regards
Claus 

I have a US spec model, but here are my values:

 

BL High   332

BL Low   110

PW Debug   000

Direct BL Adj   015

 

Good luck,

Stan

Maybe next time you fool around, Take a picture with your Phone camera :-)

Thank you Stan and Shaun! ๐Ÿ˜

My TV settings are similar to Shauns. So maybe this isn't the problem!?

Yes, I actually have been taking pictures everytime I've mess around, but forgot it just this once. ๐Ÿ˜• UPS!!! 

If all else fails, it is possible to do a reset to default and start again.

If all else fails, is it possible to call your dealer and ask for support?

Surely this is why BeoWorld exists ๐Ÿ‘

Surely not......and don't call me Surely ;-)  I think the wisdom and kindness expressed by BeoWorlders is amazing.  This TV is under warranty, the owner paid for that warranty and support from a dealer and national tech support, and there is specification for that screen.  That's why they exist.

LOL

You are of course correct. A customer meddling with the settings wouldn't be covered by Bang & Olufsens warranty BUT, that's where customer service comes in. I would fully expect the local dealer to offer whatever support was required.
