Switching surround decoder, is it possible?

5 replies

Hello Beoworlders!

I hope you all been have a nice christmas and a good new year 🙂

 

I have a little question for you:

My beloved Avant 32 RF DVD is not working anymore 🙁

My neighbor is willing to sell his Beovision 3-32 (without surround decoder)

So, is it possible to take the surround decoder from the avant and put it in the Beovision 3-32? 

They seem to look the same from the back to the tvs.

 

If anyone have tried this before, ore if someone know if its possible please let me know 🙂

Hi parasound,

I am not a diy'er myself, but since the two tv's are basicly the same, there should be no problems there.

Only issue, I see, could (perhaps) be the version of the software of the tv.

Please wait for a more precise answer - or just give it a go :-))

Thank you MM!

Okey, i will wait and see if someone have any more idea.

But it look promising :)

Hi parasound.

Looking at the service manuals for both the Avant 32 DVD and the BV3-32 - both show the same part number for the decoder board (8000910) so you should be fine to swap your board between the two televisions.

Kind Regards,

Hi Martin!

Thank you very much for that information 😀

Now I have to talk to my neighbor about the price and hope I can

do this by myself 😊 Could be real fun!

Thanks again Martin 👍
