I assume the Digital input on the BV9 is Coaxial like on the Avant. For my Avant I use this adaptor to convert the audio from my PS3:

which model Avant do you have ?

did they fit Digital Coaxial inputs on all the Avant TV's ??

I cannot find it on my Avant  :-(

I have a 32" RF DVD model. I don't know if all Avant has this, but mine has 2 digital inputs, one for the V.Tape Scart socket and one for the AV Scart socket. They are located next to the Powerlink sockets.

Thanks for this information, I had originally assumed that it would only require an adaptor, but now realise that the signal also needs to be changed.

Thanks

If you have a 93xx type, then it is possible to place a Dolby Digital module (with 2.4 software it will be also DTS) instead of the Dolby Surround module.

This DD module is the one with three socket's, Front, Sub and Rear.

If you're planning to replace the board, be carefull! There has also to be made a slight adjustment on the chassis, which is very important!

How can I tell which software version my Avant has?

I go to the 'Monitor Information' page but I can see several entries in there beginning 'SW' so am unsure of which one I should be looking at.

Whenever I play a DVD via my DVD1 the Avant display says 'Dobly Digital'

I have never seen it say 'DTS'

In monitor information you have to search for something like `32 IC607 (DSM) ver 1.9`

If you´re having 1.9 then you have probably the latest software for the DolbyD module.

If you will replace it with 2.2 or higher from the other DTS boards, then you have the DTS functionality.

But keep in mind, if you´re having the 1.9 version, this supports 2 channel PCM as the 2.4 doesn´t.

If you have the DTS module, then it will only be displayed shortly in the display where normaly the clock is displayed, as for Dolby Digital it is always displayed next to the clock.

Thanks for your help Beobuddy.

I have version 1.4.

I guess this means I only have Dolby Digital?

Is there any other functions I could be missing out on by having this software version? If yes, is it a hardware or software upgrade to take me to the latest (2.4?) SW version?

I LOVE my Avant so would like to make it the best it can be while its still alive!

Just replace the 1.4 with the latest 2.4 version abd you have DD and DTS.

I´ve done this with my brother´s avant for a few month´s ago. He had the 1.9 software.

As I told, It all has to do with the codec´s the module has to deal with.

Just order the software which is used in a RF (DVD) version with DTS.
