Hi guys.

I finally got my BV9. I have been putting money aside for ages and I finally came across a good deal, so I am now the proud owner of a BV9 Mk.III 🙂
It's a tight fit between the BL1's, but I have to see if I can rearrange it somehow, (even though I last year ran all the wires inside the wall). 

 

I have been very afraid, that it wouldn't be able to live up to my dreams, but I absolutely love it and I am amazed by the picture quality. I do have some viewpoints and questions, though and I hope you could give me some opinions and answers.

 

1. I actually think the sound from my Avant was thicker, more rich. On the BV9 the treble is very dominating, although I have tried fiddling with the settings.

 * I know that the Avant is damn good soundwise, I'm still very happy with mine in the bedroom. About the BV9 soundwise sorry I have only heard it in the B&O store and not in a home, but I would like to have a BV9 over my BV5 soundwise, because of the ALT speaker in the BV9 maybe will match my BL5 speakers better.

2. Although the standard setting for TV is SPEAKER3, it turns on the rear speakers and if I look in the SOUND SYSTEM menu, it says something like Input: PCM 2.0, Output: "Dolby Pro Logic IIx movie speaker 5". I do not understand this at all. Also the frontspeakers are not nearly as present as they were with the Avant.

 * What are the settings in the sound menu, for the front and rear speakers? 

3. Antenna input. It has the DVB-HD module fitted, but it also has an analogue input on the TV chassis next to the HDR1 cables. Is this so the HDR can record without using the BS3s tuner??

 * Sorry don't know (On my HDR2 are there 2 antenna connections input/output, maybe someone can answer if it's the same in the BV9 with builtin HDR2)

4. I don't quite understand the TV/DTV buttons. On my neighbours BV10, they only use the TV button, whereas I have to use the DTV button, although we have the same TV channel package from the TV signal provider.

* Sorry don't know

5. I'd like it to control my PS3 via a RE*BL, my Macbook Pro and perhaps a WD TV Live. How du I update the PUC list, and how do I see what's already in it??

* Sorry don't know

 

Hello

Congrats! it looks great :-)

So you skipped the BV10 and bought the BV9 - Damn that was a big step ;-)

I have some answer in your quote :-) 

Congratulations Toubro, but, without wishing to pour cold water on your happiness, I have to be honest and say I think that the Avant looks better in its position than your new TV. 

The area looks very cluttered as you say and I think that the floor position does not do the new set any favours whatsoever.

I know you did not post in order to get negative comments, but for advice, so I apologise if you are offended. It's a personal opinion but I am trying to be positive also.

Also remember that your avant had a stereospeaker, while your BV9 has a mono centerspeaker. With the BV10, you are able to use "TV" to turn on "DTV". This can be modified in the settings, when the analoge tuner is set to "OFF". This however is not possible on a BV9.

the tv looks really nice and i for one think it looks good where it is. it must make for a very cinematic experience enjoy.

Congrats to your new tv! Indeed an amazing set and something I really would like to have one day as well to replace my BV5. Did you buy it via DBA.dk or a second hand dealer? I have noticed that they seam to go for a little less money than in Sweden. More sets to choose between I guess...

Lovely TV and speakers🙂.......i'm jealous..😎

At the moment it is a little bright being completely in silver. I think if you change the speaker cloth to black, it will soften it a lot and it would match perfectly with the Beolab 1s!

I'm very envious, congratulations on your purchase!!! 🤒
