Perhaps your Beo4 is downlevel and could do with an upgrade.

When you associate the DVI port to an AV source in the BV6's configuration menus, see what other selection options you have: for example is DVD an option? 

THanks elephant for your prompt answer.

I don't have the tv actually, I just intend to test it before buying it and I need to test the "dvi" socket with my pc.

Will it be possible to associate the dvi to the av button of my beo4?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi, I re-read your original post and I would like to clarify things.

Firstly, how B&O TVs have AV ports that you associate with the type of equipment attached.  For example a SCART to a set top box or a VCR.  This is accomplished by using the connections menu.  So for example, you use the connections menu on the TV to indicate the DVI AV port is connected to a PC.

Secondly, for non-standard associations you need to add a soft-key (accessed via [LIST], [LIST] as you did) to the Beo4.  It may be that your Beo4 does not yet have [PC] defined to its list of soft-keys.  To add a new soft-key simultaneously press [LIST] and the stand-by button, the red/orange dot [O].  You should then see "ADD?" on your Beo4's display, press (GO), then press [LIST], [LIST] until you see "PC", then press (GO).  

Finally, now you have [PC] defined so that when it is pressed the TV activates the AV port (in this case the DVI) associated with the [PC] command.

Hello Elephant

Thanks for these explanation.

I tried to add PC on the beo4 and I don't have this option ( cd2, cdv, camcord, doorcam, vtape, atape; p-v aux).

Can I associate camcord to the DVI port of the bv6 wth the connection menu and use this "camcord" button for selecting it ?

I hope it is simple like this.

I didn't know this way to modify a beo4.Great, thanks again.

Hello OLivier,

you have an old Beo4 with AV button, PC is not available on this Beo4.

On newer Beo4 (and also on newer Beovisions) some source names have changed (old Beo4 - new Beo4):

CDV - DVD

V.TAPE2 - DVD2

DOORCAM - V.AUX2

V.AUX - DTV2

SAT - DTV

So p.e. if you assign an AV port of your beovision to V.AUX2 you have to use DOORCAM (with LIST) on your Beo4.

BTW: You cant't assign an AV port to CAMERA (CAMCORD). This command works only with a source connected to the CAMERA socket (3 cinch) of your beovision.

When you say AV ports does this include the DVI port ?

If this is the case, according to what you say, I could use the doorcam or sat or v.aux ?

Thanks

Yes, of course.

Raeuber, I am not so sure this is the case on the BeoVision 6. On my BeoVision 5 (HD) it isn't a problem however the BeoVision 6 does not have the same options in the menu. I attach a photo of the setup choices on both the 6 and 5.

I may be doing something wrong but I'm fairly certain that on the BeoVision 6 the 'PC' mode is dedicated to the 'PC' button on the remote and cannot be reassigned.
