15 replies

Hi all,

I am trying to connect a Mac-Mini to my BV7-32 but the well known problems appears. There is no PCM or MP3 sound coming out ! I can only get DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL.

My BV7 is quite old but it was just being updated to be HD READY  and I have PCM settings (ENABLED or DISABLED) in CUSTOMER SERVICE MENU. Here is the full info about my TV:

Type 9312

Model: 18842329

Serial : 188xxxxx

AP SW : 7.91e

IOP SW : 22.0

STAD DISP SW : 1.0

STB TABLE : 5.29b

PROJ TABLE : 1.1

DSM SW : 2.5

DVD-FEB SW : 1.9

Here is my original full post on MAC forum  /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/bampo-5500-series

Best Regards,
Mat 

Please help me ! 🤒

DSM software could need an update from 2.5 to 3.1 and maybe something else.. I think the older BV7 chasis (prior to the beosystem 3 addition) need this updated. Its all dependant on the model number of your unit so ask the dealer or service agent.

I live in Thailand and  the local dealer is completely useless !  he does not care at all as he get the country only B&O licence !!!! 

Infact I need the exact version needed on all BV7 software to let him know what  to do next ............

... 🙁

ok.

Try B&O Thailand or Singapore. Sounds like Singapore is the best option.

The update has been made and PCM sound works perfectly !

So you can hear both stereo and Dolby Digital over the Coaxial Audio input?

Right now I am coming back from my B&O Service Center which told me, that it is not possible to update the Beovision 7-32 to work together (get digital Stereo Sound over Coaxial in) with the new Apple TV. 

Basically this seems to be the same Problem: No digital Stereo.

My BV 7-32 is a Mark II from Dezember 2006.

Can you please tell me exactly what update was made (Version Number, Name, etc.) so that I can get it done on my TV?

How can I find out which Model I have - so that we can find out what I or the dealer exactly have/has to do?

And how can I enter the Service Menu of my TV?

Many Thanks in Advance!

For the sound you need DSM SW version 3.01 (part no 8344439 ) . I did it on my BV7 now it works perfectly. The chip is quite cheap (40 Euros) but the BO technicien need to come and open your TV.

SW must be above 7.84 you can find it in customer service menu. MENU then OPTION (only highly don't go in) then RED arrow with BEO4 then GO
