can't select "pc" with my Beo4

18 replies
Hi Callen,

I took a look into the manual of BV 6: A HDMI port can assigned to every source name, so I assumed it's the same with the DVI port. Probably you are right and the DVI port can only be assigned to "PC", but probably a software update is available. If not, there is no way to select the DVI port with the older Beo4.

A beovision 6-22 doesn't have HDMI port, only DVI.

It's incredible that this tv needs only one kind of remote, that's completely stupid.

I am afraid that you are right.

Thanks for this brain storming.

Craig,

When you access to the main menu of the beovision, there is no way to select the DVI input by just selecting DVI in a list of input (like on any other TV) and press OK.And that's done.

I just need to switch to the dvi input.I don't care if I cannot use one button on a remote.

I just need to test the TV I intend to buy.

Please, let me know.

Thanks

With the software I have I'm afraid there is no way to select dvi (other than selecting pc on the remote).

All other inputs can be assigned.

Software or not.That's a shame.

This is a really basic functionality.

Thanks again for your precious help :)

I intended to buy 2 of them, I give up.I don't want to spend my time finding the GOOD beo4.

 

I think you are being a little "unfair".

The Beo 4 is around since 1994!

How could they know that people will be using their TVs as PC Monitors???

Beovision 6-22 was introduced in 2003...

And buying the right beo 4 (ebay?) is not a big deal. Really.

Ralf,

Open a list of input and select a line with an arrow (up and down) with ok button, doesn't require any advance technology.Every manufacturer has done this since the "menu" function exist on a tv.

I use a beolink 1000 with my beosound 4 and I can select my sd card.

This is really stupid.

I called b&o and they told me that it could be programmed on my beo4 (just combination of button to add this option).

They recycle IR code, that's why I am able to use my A.MEM beosound 4 functionality with my old a.tape button from my beolink 1000.

Best regards
