Beobuddy, thank you so much!
Am i right, that it need to apply a new firmware for current BS2? Or fully replace my BS2 for a newer hardware version?

May be worth trying hdmi to rca convertors/av convertors it may work few on ebay or amazon or google itπ
You have 2 options.
1. Change the software from the BS2 into a newer version. with this software you are able to switch between the different inputs (slot 1, 2, 3) at the panel. You;re actually bypasssing the video-engine in the BS2, but still maintain the audio and remote via the BS2. The disadvantage is that you will lose the menu-overlay when you use the extra DVI module. Any (STB-C) menu overlay will not be visible.
2. Buy a BS3. The more expensive option. But with every source you will have the menu overlay
I'm getting the idea that you bought a DVI module yourself, is that correct? If your dealer installs a DVI module, then a software update was made to transfer all videosettings (colour, brilliance etc) are used when you use the DVI module. A Panasonic panel can have different videosettings for different inputs.

1. Great Option to Change the Software. Can i do it by myself? Where is located instruction with steps and necessary soft and equipment.
2. Expensive
3. No, DVI Module initially installed in panel. I suppose, that the dealer changed BS2 for older version with older SW. For example, pair from 4-42 panel.
I've seen a lot of BS2 SW 15.xx with 4-42 panels.
Beobuddy, please, help with question 1.
The software comes with a small note with details how to install. It's just 1 IC.
You will (of coarse) screwdrivers and a IC extractor/removal plier.

Thank you so much.
Where can i find this 1 IC? Searching ebay ang google does not.
Out local dealer denied me ordering this IC.
Why?
Doesn't he want to deliver spareparts, or is the software not available anymore?

Yes, the first one answer. Maybie i can order it in Europe?
I've tried the following setup:
BV4-50, Beosystem 2 MK3 version (also taken from my Friend) with Software 16.xx - it's fully working.
Additional points become in service menu -> Plasma Version Setup --> DVI-D Plasma Slot 1
In Camera Settings (General Menu) - PC
Beside This, I've tryed to install SW IC Chip into my BS2 (earlier version with 15.2 Software) - also works two. Upgrade works.
The same menu with DVI-D slot assignment. And also picture from my Player in PC with Beo4 Remote.
Beobuddy, thank you so much!
I'll try to find new IC with software 16.xx for my BS2.
