DVD2 with Avant 55

6 replies

Hope someone can help!

Is there a way of using the DVD2 with the modern Avant 55? 

I cannot get any remote control to operate the DVD2 - it is connected via HDMI as there is of course no SCART sockets on the new Avant

I really hope there is a way round this!

Thanks in anticipation...

Maybe there's a lintronic solution - have a look at stefan's post here:  /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/mmc1-vs-ortofon

Is it an MK1 or the MK2 version?

On the MK1 version based on BS4 there is a 9pin mini DIN AV in socket that can be used with a scart adapter.

This is not on the newer model

I may be wrong, but I don't think the mini DIN AV socket sends data to the connected device, so it wouldn't help in this usage case.

According to this thread it should work for the BS4 based systems /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/av-adapter-for-beoplay-v1#post-2007612
