Okay - so you have the latest software on your BSys3 if the background is black - but the text should be white.. ?

The speakers clicking on, then doing nothing means they're wired correctly but need the BeoSystem 3 to recognise and configure them properly.

I'd love to talk you through this with a BSys3 in front of me, but basically you need to enter the speaker set-up and scroll down until the speakers hiss, then choose each one.

Do you have the set-up guide?

I think theres a menu area where you assign the speaker its either SOUND or CONNECTIONS and you have  a list of speakers which you assign but don't assume that the fronts are speaker 1 & 2 you work down the list until you can hear white noise and the assign that speaker.

Hope that helps

Sounds like Lee is on the right track here.

If you don`t have the guide, you will find at least the BV7-40/55 setup guide on the customer service site at Bang-Olufsen.com.

It`s the same as the BS3.

Good luck.

Stefan
