Dear members,
I still have an Avant 32 RF with DS module and two Scart connections. I now also use a DVB-C receiver. My question is - how can I best integrate the DVD2? Connect both to the Avant via Scart and connect them to each other via Scart again? Then, I'd need a receiver with two Scart connections. Is there another possibility?
Thanks!
Greetings,
Kai
Do you control the DVB receiver with the B&O remote via the STB?
If not, and you want to be able to record from the DVB, simply connect that to the EXT2 SCART on the DVD2.

Thanks for the answer. I am not sure whether my Avant does have the STB controller? Type 8430 if I am not mistaken. So you suggest that I do not connect the receiver via scart to the Avant, but rather directly connect it to the DVD2? Sorry for asking back again. Thanks! Kai

Only if you want to be able to record from the DVB receiver. If you want to use the two sources independently, just connect each direct to the Avant.

Not sure, but HDR1 used to have an own STB Controller. Maybe DVD2 as well?RalfI am not sure whether my Avant does have the STB controller?

There is no STB controller on DVD2.

Thanks again, Guy. When I connect as you suggested, how do I start the TV then? When directly connected to the Avant, I used V.Tape 2. Greetings, Kai
You'll have to go into the TV's connections menu (MENU, SETUP, CONNECTIONS) and configure the input you want to use.
Does your Avant already have a DVD built in?
If so, you'll have to configure the connection that the DVD2 is connected to, to be V.TAPE (or V.MEM) or V.AUX. Either of these should enable you to control the DVD2 with the Beo4 remote.

Dear Guy,
No DVD built in - therefore the DVD2. Sure, that's not the problem. I know how to use the DVD2. But how can I use the receiver when it is directly connected only to the DVD2 and not to the Avant. When directly connected to Scart 2 of the Avant the DVD was available with DVD/CDV and the receiver with V.Tape2. But what if I connect the DVB-C to the DVD2 instead as you suggested?
Greetings,
Kai
Ah sorry for getting confused!
I understand the problem now - and to be honest I am not sure of the answer! In the DVD2 manual it talks about selecting EXT2 for recording purposes by highlighting TUNER, and then using the up/down arrows to highlight EXT 1, EXT 2 or CAM. I am not sure if this would would for playback?
However, let's go back to the start. If what you are actually trying to achieve is to be able to record from the DVB-C then I think that will work even with the DVD2 and DVB-C connected to different SCARTs on the back of the TV, and no connection between them. This is because SCART is two-way, hence when you ask the TV to record if will pass the DVB signal to the DVD2.
If necessary I will get my DVD2 out and have a play!
