Yes I got him....
I just have it for same day's and it is a complicated DVD-2 player. To work with the DVD section, it is great, really easy to use. I got a DTS in the avant RF and I think that the sound quallity is better than the DVD-1, but again, this is what I think.
To work with the hard disk, that is a other thing. You have to programm the hd and that need some time, now I have add the Sat reciver to the DVD-2 and now it becomes tricky, can not find out how to add this correctly.
One thing, it takes 40 sec. when the DVD-2 is ready when you start it from standby till playing a dvd, so... that is all..
I am trying to write something about the DVD-2 on the forum, I do not know when..... who tells 😂😂
Ehhh here is a photo of the
It looks good.
40 seconds to start up is far too long though. I understand that it has to "load" the hard drive... ,8,1 (some of your will remember this....lol) Why should you have to wait that long just to watch a dvd.
Please let us know your thoughts when you start to make timer recordings with it..

40 seconds is the time the DVD-2 needs to start the hard disk.. I know it is a long time... but its works nicely
About the program ore timer: you can programm the HD in many way's, one of them is by showview and manual... I like manual. You do not need to read the manual that good to understand how to set the time to record a programm, it is very easy.. even I know it!
I can say that the sound and picture quality is better than de DVD-1 and that is good...
Can you timer record from a satellite channel?
My B&O Icons:
There is no STB-controller in the DVD2
Here is a workaround,
Most set top boxes have 2 scarts, so you can connect one to the TV and one to the EXT1 socket of the DVD2.
You can programme the DVD2 to record at a certain time from EXT1, and - separately- you can programme the set top box to tune to a channel at a certain time, using the set top box own scheduler.
The Good:
- It should work, and all with the Beo4
The Bad
- it is not elegant,
- it require the 2 clocks to be in sync,
- it does not "lock" the channel on the set top box, like another recorder would do,
- it will not allow recording of the DVB module in the Beovision.

Beautiful design though, and the cabinet quality is stunning! Not too sure about the innards at the moment, but I don't have much experience with the DVD2. Didn't seem too user friendly when I first had a play, but I probably just need to play with it more!
Overall though, beautifully finished, and absolutely looks the part.
Hello,
since 3 days I am also a owner of a DVD2.
I have a BV6.22. The first scart is connected to a Beocord V8000 via a Samsung Digibox. In the connections menu (VTape + STB). The DVD2 is with the second scart connencted and as VAUX in the connections menu registered.
If I look TV via the tuner of the DVD2 and want to record a programme always the V8000 starts and I cannot rrecord to the harddisk.
How can this be fixed. Any ideas?
