After four years of casual searching, I found, bought, and delivered, a pristine Avant 32 (USA Version) complete with B&O dust cover. I absolutely love this TV. Its classic yet endlessly modern looking at the same time. This model is from 2000. Unfortunately, it did not come with a Users Guide and the one offered from B&O's website isn't specific to this model and offers no help in anything more complicated than changing the aspect ratio.
This is what I am dealing with at the moment: I only have it hooked up to my DVD player (Sony NS999ES) through the component RGB input under the electron gun. DVD menus are dark with sometimes indecipherable text. Some DVDs play normally while others will have terrible dark semi-transparent lines that muck up the image. It looks like a video camera recording a CRT- the scan lines are visible and scroll slowly. I have yet to test via the normal composite video connection because I don't want to loose the stunning clarity.
I switched the DVD player output from progressive to interlaced and the image vanished. I have a feeling I am missing something and was hoping people in the know could offer some advice. I had read about the amazing ability of this TV to process many inputs, control just about any attached device, and so on, but so far I have not had any luck. I appreciate any help.
