Hi, another BC6-26 question.
I am trying to connect a PS2 with component cables (5 connectors) to the BC6-26 (HD ready), to play vintage games.
The PS2 works with the composite cable plugged in CAMERA, but not when switching modus in PS2 menu from VGA to YPbPr and switching to the component cable on AV3 on BC6. Settings on BC6 seem to be correct, hd input via YPbPr. Sound is working, but image is black.
I found this thread describing the same issue:

Have you tried toggling the Progressive Scan options in the PS2's 'Screen Setup' menu?

Thanks for your reply Guy, I will try looking for that setting tonight. Is that different from this menu?

Is that different from this menu?
It's in the DVD setup menu, accessed by starting playback of a DVD, press select and then chose the 'briefcase' icon.
I am not really sure if this will work, as it may only apply to DVD playback, but it is worth a try!

Thank you, however I cannot see the option, because I think it is only available if component cable is connected and then I see no image. I have in Screen setup only TV type, DNR, Outline sharpening and Display.
Tonight I tried the PS2 on my hitachi projector, worked well, and also on my Beovision 7-32 MK3 with exactly the same result as on the BC6-26: black screen. Could the cable be faulty, even if it works on the projector and is new (but non-original)? Really frustrating!

Online I found a hint that the green lead from the ypbpr cable should give a black and white image on the screen when plugged into the composite input (yellow). And it does! But that does not solve it. Does the input from the beovisions accept 480p / 480i? I would think that the game console that was current when these televisions were sold could be connected. (The PS3 was introduced a year later in 2007).
Appreciate the help!

Hmmm. Are you 100% sure that the TV is HD ready?
This thread (posts by Vienna) stressed that requirement:

I am, because the serial numbers and type numbers are correct (I checked the b&o site for this too). Also, apple TV 4th generation works fine as does macbook with netflix in the browser. That would not work without hdcp.

My BV6 is not HD ready and does not have component. However, when I had it connected directly to the DVI, Apple TV4 worked fine until I started playback of content that included hdcp. i.e, I could view Netflix browser, Amazon Prime etc but the screen went black when I tried to play the movies.
How were you connecting your Apple TV and/or MacBook? If you were using an audio extractor then you may find that this was extracting the hdcp also.
Perhaps it would be worth finding another component source to try with the BV6.

I am connected via HDMI from MacbookPro to DVI on BV6-26, one cable, without any converters, indeed to test the HDCP. Playback works well. On BV7-32 I have a converter to extract the audio but that does not strip HDCP. (I know because I added a splitter to remove HDCP to be able to play netflix via the VGA output on the projector because that gave an "protected content" error, see this thread
