I would check the OPT settings again.

TV should be in V.OPT 1

BC2 should be in A.OPT 1

The above settings are done with the system in standby.  With those option settings the TV will only react to 'video' commands (but will communicate with the BC2 over ML to get the DVD to play), and the BC2 will only react to 'audio' commands.

Then I reckon you should be selecting/controlling DVD with the DVD button rather than CD.

(EDIT: I forgot to say welcome to Beoworld! 🙂)

Thank you for your reply. I have tried TV  in V.OPT 1 and B BC2beoventer in A.OPT 1. , but does not seem to make any difference.

Do I have to adjust the options separately to bv and BC -- first choosing TV on beo4 and then v.opt 1 (anything for a.opt?) And then choosing Cd in beo4 and a.opt 1 for BC? How could I make the BC to recognize The dvd-button on Beo4?

Warm thanks for welcoming :)

No, you should set the options with the complete system in standby (i.e off!)

Thus the BC will only respond to the A.OPT setting process, and the BV will only respond to the V.OPT setting process - if it's like my BV6 you will see a flash from the TV's status light to confirm the option setting.

The BC does not have to receive the DVD 'request' direct from the Beo4 - it gets the request from the BV via the ML cable.

The BC responds when setting the A.OPT setting with flashing red light. But when I try the same with BV, it does not seem to respond (no flashing when I try to set up the V.OPT 1 (or 0 or 2 or 4 etc.).

Hmmm. I'm running out of ideas!

A thought: Have a look in the Customer Service Menu.  This is accessed in TV SETUP by pressing RED and GO while the cursor is over the CONNECTIONS field.

Then select MONITOR information.

Two things to look at:

- The Option Setting should be shown - what does it say?

- Further down the list, what is to the right of SYSTEM MODULE (a SW version, or n/a?)

I think you use EXIT to get out of this menu, or perhaps simply power off.

Hi,

first define the devices connected to the BV-40, i.e.  AV4 ->DVD -> DVD-Type->BC2 and everything else connected.

now the BV 8-40 should be set to V.OPT 2 and the BC2 should be set to A.OPT 0 while both systems are in standby.

After setting the options it should work. If disconnect the TV and the BC from the mains, wait a minute and then reconnect first the TV, wait a minute and then reconnect the BC2 to the mains.

The Masterlink cable should be connected all the time during this power cycle.

After every device has booted, it should work flawlessly: pressing DVD should activate the BC2 and play the DVD inserted, including the menu controls.

@ Ralph-Marcus:  I stated OPT.1 for both because he has the Beolabs connected direct to Beocenter, rather than the TV.

Ah, reading the initial posting again i now see this fact 🙂

This configuation is also possible, then as you said: V.OPT 1 and A.OPT 1 is the correct setting. But setting the TVs connection properly and powercycling should help to get the devices acting as they should do.

Thank you for all of you for the tips: I finally managed to get it working.

V.OPT 1 and A.OPT1. And booting BV and BC. For some reason I also had to change SCART cable from AV4 to AV2 in order to get it running properly, but now it works as it should be. My sincere thanks for your tips!
