Hi Kokomo, this is what you have to do:

Turn on tv and press Menu. Toggle down to SET UP, then press on your BEO4: GO, 0, 0, GO (all on your BEO4). You will acces a menu with 2 options. TV monitor and something about tuning. Select the first one. Then you will need ´Picture adjustments´. Once you acces that it will open a list and one of them is ´movie mode´. If you select that (GO on Beo4) you can choose between ON/AUTO/OFF (toggle Up and DOWN on BEO4). Try for yourself what it does to your picture and let me know what your opinion is. To leave the menu press STOP on your BEO4 repeatedly. Please remember that you do not store a different setup untill you are 100% sure about your choice and write down what you change in this menu!!! Hope this helps.

That's the one!

Now I'll write the sequence down for future reference and also if I change anything.

Thanks Meng for the info' - appreciated.

Quick postscript. After all that, no 'Movie Mode'! Guess I don't have the appropriate software installed. Anyway, still learnt something.

Kokomo, my BV3 is from April 2004, typenr. 8810........Do not know any softwarenumber........I am at work now so I cannot check...........

In 'monitor information'. type no shows 8800, so I guess that's the reason!

Thanks.

Hi kokomo!

My BV3-32 is also an MkI (type 8800) and I have the "film mode" option. On the MkI BV3-32 it depends on the SW-Version. I had the SW of my BV3-32 updated (due to a timer related problem) and since that update I have The "film mode" option in the settings.

It seems that on the MkII (type 8810) SW they changed the name to "movie mode". At least on my MkI it's called "film mode".

Cheers

Hi Foxtrott, do you notice a difference when ´playing´ between ON and OFF watching the screen? (I also have AUTO to choose from)...........

Hi,

I have a BV3-32 and used to leave the settings to AUTO.

What let me set it to OFF is that when ON, with some sources (I use SKY satellite receiver) a lot of annoying digital textures appeared on teh screen, often when an high contrast area was associated with movement (like a person passing over a window running, or a car filmed from outside).

With the setting OFF, it doesn't occurs.

Whatching DVDs this usually not occurs, and I can turn it ON (in fact, pucture has a better contrast and colors appears more warm, IMHO).

Just my 2 euro-cents,

Hi Meng!

To be honest, I never payed attention if it has any effects on the picture while in the Menu-settings but I do notice an effect on the picture after leaving the Menu. When the "film-mode" is on the picture seems somehow "oversharp" and "artificial" (don't know how to discribe it better).. but this is my personal impression.

I don't have an "auto" option... seems that this is only available at the MkII model as my SW-version ist the newest one available for the MkI.

Film mode for me, once i got used to it, really cleans up the images and makes the movement incredibly natural. Seems to work wonders on CRT but not quite right on LCD. Would never turn it off again!
