Hi!
I just
bought an old beovision 7-40 tv with a beolab 7.4 speaker. I want to connect
the tv to my chromecast but dont have a hdmi input. I was looking into
different converters, but I'm afraid the sound won't be played trough the
speaker anymore if I use these converters while casting. (Or don't work at all). Do you have any advice
on which product I should use to fix this problem?
Type no: 9351
Item: 1816971
Serial: 19105161
Thanks!

Hi Johan,
Thanks for you very quick and helpfull response!
Good to know that it is possible! I do not own any apple products tho, so I dont know if an apple tv is the most handy option for me... Do you maybe know if there are other samsung/ google/ android related products such as an apple tv that have this toslink audio output socket?
Greetings,

Thanks for the tip, just ordered one. Hopefully it wil work, I will let you know!
You should not use such a converter.
You will completely sacrifice picture quality.
I have the 7-40 too (MK 1 type 9351 as you) and has Chromecast connected.
I purchased a HDMI audio extractor.
That way you'll keep the 720p picture quality via HDMI/DVI and connect analogue audio from the extractor to AV4 RCA socket.
Configure AV4 as PC
This one looks identical to the one I use.
Hi!
Thank you for the tip!
The link you sent me does not deliver to the netherlands, do you think this one will work as well?

And to make sure, i would also need to buy a hmdi to dvi converter right? And what cable do you use to connect the hdmi audio extractor to your tv?
Thanks!

Hi
Based on the images describing the different usecases it should work.
Yes, you'll need at dvi/HDMI adapter too. I use this kind (example)

For audio you'll need minijack to RCA. Like this one (example).

You will define AV4 as PC in the BeoVision connection menu and connect the RCA cable to the AV4 RCA input sockets of the TV.
On Beo4 add the PC command under the List function
... And obviously a HDMI cable :-)
I use this one from Delock https://www.allekabels.nl/audio-omvormer/1792/1218636/hdmi-naar-hdmi-audio-extractor.html already for many years between my apple TV (4th generation) and the Beovision 7 mk3 with only DVI input. It is much cheaper on Marktplaats (10-15 euro).
Make sure that your BV7 is HD-ready, because otherwise protected content won't play, like Netflix.
