I have

AV1 STB(DTV)
AV2 None
AV3 None
AV4 STB (V.Aux)
Camera
Projector None

if I select projector it picks up Samsung SP H700 and SIM2 HT300 Plus which i don't have

 

 

 

 

 

ok so under the projector menu can you select generic

If no generic just pick one of those projectors and see if you get an output which you shoudl as its just Video beging sent over the DVI.

Choose one of those projectors and save

once saved use list on the beo4 and get format in the display and press 0 this will swap the display to the projector output.

 

Format 0 switches tv and display off and then sounds goes off and then nothing happens when tv and menu is pressed.

press dtv and sound comes back on ,

when you say TV goes off does the red standby light come back on?

Format 0 shoudl close the curtains and then the curtains open on the projector.

Have you got the projector switched on before you press format 0

 

when I press format 0 - tv display says WAIT and then picture and time display disappears - no red standby light - picture on projector screen stays the same

I press format 0 again then Picture on TV returns and time display

I have got the projector on at the moment while trying the above

well thats me stumped as i have never seen WAIT on mine before.

when i press format 0 the curtains close and display sway to output 2.

Maybe your software is older or maybe some of the timers have been changed.

You could call a beoliving dealer for some advice i find they can be quite helpful but that does depend on if they want to talk to you because I find Beoliving dealers only like to talk abotu the correct equiptment that they sell.

Most other dealers dont have much info on the use of a projector as B&o like there beoliving dealers to support it.

Maybe someone else on here could be of some help as i think i am now stumped.

It sounds like you have a BV7 Mk1 like mine, Where have you connected the Projector, In the Projector socket or the DVI?

As far as i remember the DVI on the MK1 is an input is it not?

Yes it is but that doesn't stop people trying to use it for output 😕

 

As you've said before seanie, according to the BV7-40 MK1 manual, pressing format then 0 should switch the projector output on. I get the same 2 projectors listed on my menu and that's it, no other options available.

 

on my MK3 i get the following screens within connections.

What output did the MK1 have i cannot remember i did not use it as a cinema system until i got my MK3
