I have a BV7-55 without the built in BluRay and use an Oppo, but don't the specifications from the B and O web page specifically list True HD7.1 under Supported Audio Decoding Formats? This would match what Beolion posted "I think that the blueray player in MK1 (which I have) can decode Dolby TrueHD, but not DTS-MA. The player in MK2 can also decode DTS-MA."

Yes, that would seem to be the case. Perhaps they changed the mechanism when they upgraded the TV with a 3D panel and, as a result, the upgrade also supported both True HD and DTS-MA? Still annoyed I parted with an extra £1000 with my BV7-40 purchase, to get internal Blu-ray and it wasn't supported but, in hindsight, an external Blu-ray player was likely to be a wiser idea (so perhaps I'm more angry with myself than B&O!).

One thing I need to do is rip some of my Blu-rays to my NAS drive.

If your blu ray with decode Dolby TRu HD 7.1 and output into LPCM 7.1, then I think an updated BS3 will deliver the 7.1 surround with appropriate speakers attached.

The specs of BV 7 mention TrueHD 7.1 is supported.

So the question remains why Davidson can't hear anything when playing bluray with TrueHD 7.1 on his new BV 7-55!?

You are right Rauber, I just check the specs too on the web: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/specifications?productid=746

The service just did a sw upgrade only on the DVD/BD, it didn't work.  So they will come back and do one for the TV later.  Not sure, as Moxxey mention is not SW but HW....

Thanks

Hi Davidson,

I have the new BV 7-40 3D, but I can´t check TrueHD sound because I have no Bluray/DVD with TrueHD (only Dolby Digital and DTS).

But please try another audio format in the settings (Re-encode or Bitstream instead of Standard). To change this setting press MENU on Beo4, but WITHOUT Bluray or DVD in the tray.

Regards

I believe beosystem 3 can't decode dts hd either . Looks like it desperately needs an upgrade.

I was going to get the bv7 40 3d , but now I'm leaning towards the bv10 and using other gear to do the playback. 

Geoff: re Sound Guide

Fantastic! This is the first time I've seen such an easy-to-follow, comprehensive guide to all the capabilities and sophistication in a B&O system. I hope the portends the future for all new guides.

Also: When can I expect an upgrade containing the same capabilities to my BS3. I've already upgraded it once, for the more advanced DSP stuff. The BS3 alone is more expensive than any version of the V1, so i would sorta expect no less than these capabilities for the investment I've made in a BS3.

Possible?

I don`t think the BS3 will be able to decode multichannel HD formats. In the BV7 the first built in BD player could decode DD True HD, the newer one can decode DD True HD and DTS HD. The BS3 can receive and play decoded (from source) multicannel HD formats as multichannel PCM.

I have a 150 Euro BD player that decodes all HD formats and my BV7 gets a multichannel PCM audio.This only works via HDMI, so no need for spdif connection.

For decoding HD formats in the Beovision we have to wait for the new video engine, which was just introduced in the new V1, I`m afraid.

Beo, correct me please, if I`m wrong.

Am I the only person who thinks that is incredibly crazy? Sorry BV7-40 MKV (non-3D) Blu-ray users, but the V1 supports more formats than your recent £11K TV! No wonder users despair at times.

So , moxxey , does that really mean you can't play an off the shelf blu ray through your top of the range tv ?

Seems utterly ridiculous to me.!
