Upgrading Software on BeoVision 5

Dear Dimitiris,

Thank you for your post - unfortunately the link takes me to a BeoWorld Error Page. I would really appreciate the link if you could find it. Many thanks.

Kind regards.

Does it work now?

 

Yes, this link works.

 

I haven't tried yet, but it is possible. The installation manual is clear about that.

I think you should start at the base by using the composite video instead of RGB VGA video and connect to one of the scarts and name it as "VAux".

The software of the beomedia should be changed to : "instruction: VAux" to control the beomedia.

Then it should act like any other videosource like DVD or V8000 in a link setup.

 

At the moment my beomedia reponds to PC instructions and in the software setup  in the beomedia the option to change this is grayed out.

So I can't change it from PC  to VAux. And therefor my MX7000 in the bedroom also can't activate the beomedia.

 

My BV6-22 in the kitchen knows the PC instruction, but starts to look at it's DVI socket.

@ DrDimitris. Still no luck with the BM1 in the linkroom?

I've figured out how to, but not sure.

I think you'll have to try, probably with an extra ir-eye.

 

Disconnect the ML cable from your BM1. Then after 2-3 seconds it will be possible in the system menu to change the setting from PC to Vtape2, VAUX and another one.

Then store the new setting (VAUX?). The Vaux command will probably work in the linkroom. Use defaults for the videosetting.

Also use the composite cable and the audiocable on just one scartsocket, which you have named "VAUX'.

As a related issue, I was told by B&O tech support that the link room control of the BeoMaster 5/BeoSound 5 via "Beosytem 1 based tvs " (such as BS1, BV5, BV9, and the U.S. Avant) is not possible because the BeoSystem 1 based tvs do not recognize the PC command. The person at tech support said this is unlikely to change because there aren't enough BeoSystem 1 based tvs being used for there to be a demand for the PC function being added. Huh? What the ____ does B&O think they've been selling all these years prior to the Beosystem 3 based tvs?! Do they really think people have dumped all their BeoSystem 1 based tvs?
