I still think that you must let the player decode the HD signals and send multichannel PCM to BS3.

I have a BV7-55 MK1 with BR, and I just started Transformers 3. I selected DD TrueHD as audio, and in the TV it says:
Inputformat: PCM 7.1
Outputformat: Multichannel Speaker 5

I think the main thing for the BS3 (now) is to be able to decode DD for i.e. HD TV signals. Here is where we still need the BS3 to make decoding, The new V1 does not support that much (yet) regarding decoding formats. And I am not sure it ever will.

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

No, the other way around. If the player does the decoding and sends the audio as LPCM, then, yes, you can (clearly B&O has upgraded the internal player since the 3D launch). However, what I mean is, anyone who bought a BV7-40 MKV (before the 3D version), with Blu-ray, can't decode certain HD audio formats from the *internal* Blu-ray player which cost an extra £1000.

Shames me to say it, but Razlaw was correct to say that his external Blu-ray player does all the decoding for the BV7. So that works, whichever BV7 you own.

No-one at B&O warned customers of the issue when they sold them the internal Blu-ray player. Under UK law, you could probably claim you've been misled under the trade descriptions act :)*

*note for certain American users, there's a smiley there for a reason.

In America everything i possible. 🙂

If I remember correct, then B&O had problems to find a drive in that has a very good quality (i.e. the components used) AND that could fit into the TV. In other words, for MK1, where the drive can not decode DTS-MA, I think this was a trade off.

For the MK2, where the drive can decode DTS-MA also, if you look close, then the drive does not fit as well as in MK1, it seems that the TV Frame is bigger now. The drive and the frame does not have the same height anymore.

Hi 

Some updates to my problem, the tech guys helped upgrade my TV software to something like 11.47 and the dvd software, but it didn't work.  So i am still stuck.

Just the past weekend I took my trouble MI-4 bluray disc to the dealer and it played on there 7-55.  So i was wondering if a mark3 version has come out or is this still a software version fix or I should forget about this codec for HD 7.1 sound.

Thanks

Hi Raeuber,

Other languages works because English is the only one with Dolby True HD 7.1 for Mission Impossible 4.

Thanks

So the 7-55 3D came about a year ago. Does anybode know if a Mk3 version is in the works with updated BS3 for TrueHD as discussed above and Beonet compatible?

Maybe a silly question but would you hear a difference if you were just playing through a BL 7-2?

Finally, its Fixed.

It turns out it was the whole DVD/BD module that had to be replaced.  

Cheers
