I have a BC6-26 so can't be certain operation is exactly the same but when I use the picture mute function the picture is muted immediately but the backlight stays on for around 45s before it switches off. I'm sure B&O had a reason for setting it up that way but I've no idea what it might be! Anyway, have you tried waiting a while to see if the backlight stays on?

Thanks for your response but unfortunately the backlight of my screen stays on, also after 45s.  As you said, this might be related to a difference between a BC6-26 and a BV6-26, but I can also imagine that it is software related as I have a first generation MK1 model with SW 5,2.  I also read that an alternative for switching the screen off is selecting FORMAT 0, but my BV does not respond to this combination.  Any idea if a SW upgrade might help? Where can I find what the latest version is?

Maybe using AV-SOURCE from standby will do the trick?

I have no idea if it will. But surely, the point is that you can use the screen to find the media file or choose the radio station, and then turn it off?

Oops. Minor, but significant detail. 😁

Yup, that's what I thought - Until Millemissen posted about the phones and tablets.

Sorry can't give any constructive inputs in this regard. But I do wish that there is a desktop computer version of Beovision 6. That will be super cool! Which I think will be entirely possible and super profitable. That will be the first Windows computer I will decide to own actually second my first was a Toshiba laptop way back when I was a kid... 

It actually kinda makes sense now that I think of it cos... Most makers of all in one desktops uses third-party internal components etc.... So.... Why no B&O all in one desktop computers yet? It's a perfect fit!

 B&O makes their TVs thicker than most because of the active loudspeakers they build in and most all in one desktops are thick except for the latest IMac  which IMHO is a fail because of the elimination of the vital wall mount function + slot CD reader (too early to eliminate) .Most of all B&O will be the only manufacturer of  truly luxurious all in one desktop computers and because of the thicker than average nature, full upgradeability will be made possible - I hate discarding computer after computer. How environmentally unfriendly!   Almost all makers of all in ones have dismal built quality aside from Apple. And Apple runs on mac so... 

Sorry if I sound like I am hijacking your thread but it really got me thinking. The Beovision 6 looks so much like an ideal all in one PC!

@Stefan / Beobuddy /  Millemissen thanks  for your help!  And yes, setting the BV6-26 in OPTION2, and using the AV <source> command from standby works. MANY THANKS!

And solving one issue always triggers another question.  Actually, I have my media center (a Mac Mini) connected to the PC DVI and analog sound input of the BV6-26.  In addition, I have a set of BL6000 in a second room connected through Masterlink and a Beolink active (OPTION6) with the BV6-26.  

I receive TV / DTV sound in the second room, however when selecting PC as source the BL6000 switch on but I don't receive the sound signal.  For that reason, I have also connected the analog sound of the Mac Mini to one of the SCART inputs of the BV6-26 - which I can access in the second room. Doesn't Masterlink transport the analog PC signal? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

@ Millemissen - I use the Apple Remote app and occasionally VPN on my laptop to control the Mac Mini //  p-mute does not turn off backlight in PC-source either.

Hi lowroad,

glad that this problem now is solved 😎

You don't need the P-Mute at all - even if you have the screen activated the AV-'source'-command should turn off the display completely.

The 'PC-command' in a linkroom with an ActiveLink opens the A-AUX port of the ActiveLink (nice to know if you want to have an extra source just for this room).

Try 'Link-PC' - it might work. First connect the analog-out to the PC/analog-inputs!!!

Greetings  Millemissen

P.S. In the first post you wrote that the Media Center was connected to scart - this made me wonder what kind of Media Center you are using.

Actually a nice setup you have there 🙂!
