What sources are you trying to view?

I think I recall that digital sources doesn't work over masterlink..

Hi :-)

I am trying to view the same sources as before, namely the Sky Digital (the old one with SCART connectors) and a TVIX box (using the SCART connector)  Both units worked just fine when the 7-40 was the master and now the 7-55 is the master the Sky signal can still be seen (and heard and even controlled) when in the tuning section, but I can't get to it through the remote button TV, or DTV.  The CD player works fine, so I know the cabling is OK.  It is probably a setting issue.

I understand that I cannot distribute HD signal from HDMI units through the house.  At least that is what I thought.

All the best,

Paul.

What you are watching (the picture and mono sound) on the remote tv is an added signal to the arial running throuh the 55'er.

You will probably have to finetune the frequency (for sending) in the modulator menu of the 55'er.

Have a look at page 62 in the User Guide:

Thank you, I will give that a go :-)

"I understand that I cannot distribute HD signal from HDMI units through the house"

..Actually you can!

Simply use the Cinema function of you BV7-55,- aka Format 0

This will send  the complete image & functionality to a secondary BV7. If your 7-55 is equipped with a dual HDMI output like mine, you will get the HD audio as well, Pretty sweet 🙂 

Works even better with a BL1000, SHIFT+STORE (Faster).

Like magic, the drapes closes on the BV7-55 in one room,- just to reappear on the BV7-40 in another room.

 

 

Super, what a logical idea :-)  I will try that when I am tweaking the system.

 

With regards to the problem, the advice was sound.  It was a combination of things.  Firstly, the tuner default, 599 I think, had some interference.  I tried another frequency and that did the trick (signal wise).  The TV was set up so that the TV button was for Skybox.  However, with the slave TV being an older analogue model, when I pressed TV, rather than look for TV downstairs, it was looking for the analogue tuner.  So I swapped to DTV and voila, problem solved.  Thank you Matt from Lifestyle TV for your help on this.

However, a problem remains.  When I turn on DTV, the Sky box turns on, I see a picture and then after a couple of seconds the sound cuts straight out.  It does this every time.  Notsure what causes this.  Any ideas?

Paul.

By the way, what do you mean by 'Dual HDMI' output?  Is that an optional extra?  I think I have 4 HDMI sockets.  Two are occupied (one by BluRay, the other by the Digital TV tuner)

Thanks,

P.

The second (the free) HDMI output (for making a cinema setup) is meant.

All it does is to duplicatate what is on the (main) tv on another tv.

I wouldn't call that 'B&O-distribution' - and it has nothing to do with masterlink for audio and commands and distributed video through the aerial.

Might be fun to try out, however ;-)

Hi Paul

If you do have the MKII of the BV7-55 (aka the 3D version), you have a gem, properly the the best TV B&O ever made!

The image, supported by the black levels of the microdimming is IHMO simply outstanding!

Right next to you four HDMI sockets of witch two are occupied (indecently,-  if you can accept SD quality on your DVBT you can pull the cable, for some reason its routed internally, go figure 😕), you should have two more HDMI sockets, one already occupied (the BV7 screen) the second is the HDMI Cinema out socket.

The Cinema HDMI carries the full HD picture PLUS the HD audio!

I this case a simple HDMI cable (30feet) is connecting my BV7-55 to a secondary BV7-40, note the source!

Everything the BV7-55 has to offer BR7.1, DVBT2  etc. is available right there on the "linked" TV,- the menus you see, are those from the 7-55!

There is more to this TV,- DO get me started 🙂
