My Beosystem 3 arrived yesterday. The good thing: SW 3.1 is on it. The bad thing, it does not work propperly....

 The unit has a problem in detecting the attached projector resolution (EDID Data). This information is not correctly shown. (go to the customer service menu MENU - red button on Beo4 and within 3 seconds GO). Sometimes nothing is listed, sometimes the projector is found and named but with VGA resolution instead of 1080p. So I forced the BS3 to 1080p in the connections menu.

And the funny part is, HDMI DVD and YUV sources are displayed in 1080p (I have a Full HD projetor) but not the TV signal of the Beosystem 3. My projectors displays "out of frequenvy range" when I switch to TV. If I reconnect it to a different HDMI input of the projector it works....but If I switch to an other source like DVD and switch back to TV...."Out of frequency range"
 

So I will call the service on Monday...

Yes - would be good to add some structure to it - either in form of a FAQ or perhaps a BeoSystem 3 Forum.

 I use my BeoSystem 3 with a non-b&o plasma 42" Panasonic - but all my signals looks worse with my BeoSystem 3 than without. I know I dont have the "correct" non-b&o plasma to get the best out of the BeoSystem 3.

Which non-b&o plasma works best with the BeoSystem 3 do you think? and which of these support Full HD?
 

I spent the night with my BS3 until 3 in the morning.... with some new findings:
 

I tried the 60Hz options with sucess, so I can watch TV now...however, with 60Hz you see judder watching PAL TV (very obvious with news channels with a ticker running). So 50Hz is a must.

My Toslink to SPDIF converter (from my local B&O store) does not work with the BS3, I need to check if it works with my BV3-32😝

Also some settings have no effecht, like audio via HDMI, if you select SDIF instead of HDMI it is ignored and HDMI audio is still active

Also the picture prozesser of the BS3 makes the image much darker. (I compared the direct connections of the HD-DVD player to th projector and through the BS3). I changed the Brightness on the projector to get a better image. However, in the BS3 service menu are sooooo many settings to adjust the image and also I don't know the effect of the missing display identification to the auto contrast or black lever adjustment. 

I hope I can get the dealers BS3 today for a cross check.

Hi Karsten - I used Maplin's Toslink converters (

Hi Max,

good idea, I will try a different converter soon!

I also took  my dealers  BS3 home with SW 2.7 (without full HD support), same problem. After a quick chat with a B&O support guy I was a little bit disappointed because they all now these problems and keep on selling that stuff without sharing that info with their dealers...

So EDID is on the list as well as the 60Ht TV issue. Furtermore I can not get PCM Stereo from my CD player through digital SDIF, it sounds like an old record....a lot of digital interrupts.
