Everyone in this thread has a low amount of posts under their belt, does this mean that the Beosystem 3 is that good, that it is more captivating than Beoworld?! 😎

That's a good one!! The BS3 is a great concept and now playing with it the last couple of month I would say there is still some room for improvement :-)

Hopefully the next SW upgrade will fix some of the problems with disturb my relationship to the BS3 every day, but to early to talk about a potential divorce..... 

My dealer just upgraded the PUC list for me so I know have my Toshiba HD-DVD controlled by the Beo4. Works without any problem except power on works not always, power off never. It is interesting how important this one remote concept is, even it is nothing special, but now I love my BS3 more than before :-)

I also have the Apple Remote PUC uploaded, but did not receive my AppleTV to test. 

An other interesting feature is  if you feed a 4:3 DVD (Eagels Hell Freeze over) via HDMI in 1080p to the BS3 and can not rescale it to 16:9. So I get the anoying black bars on the left and right. I will do some further testing who is the source of the problem, my lovely B&O stuff or this japanese DVD player :-)

Hi brendon,

it is not possible to see the screen of the Computer where the Beoport is connected to. It is only possible to see the screen if you use the Beomedia.

agree, the only downside that you want the HD-DVD player to send the HD videos in 1080p to the projector, unfortunately the Tosh does not allow to configure two different settings for e.g. DVD and HD-DVD. So you have to go to the menu and change in manually....or get a second DVD player :-)

Hi Max or anyone, I need to reset my Beo System 3 to factory settings, you mention a beo4 reset procedure, could you tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction?  thanks, Chris  
It is in the system menu; MENU, Choose OPTIONS, 0,0,GO them Monitor Information then the last option is reset.
frog, thanks but the BV4 plasma is not working and i suspect it may be due to a config error, so I need to reset without the on-screen menu.  I was hoping there was a hard-reset button on the Beosystem 3 or a Beo4 procedure?  cheers  

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I've been tied up with some bank holiday weekend DIY. As you are a gold member, it maybe worthwhile downloading the service manual, if you haven't already, at 

Many thanks Max.  Cheers, Chris
