Beovision 5 Apple TV

12 replies

hello, I have had my BV 5 for 14 years or so and had previously connected an Apple TV via scaler and hdmi component switch. Trying a repeat about 8 years later and I was wondering if anyone has experience with this. I assume the BV 5 can receive 1080i 50 ... thanks in advance

Try 720p50...

Thank you for your reply. It works using 1080i 60 on the scaler, I have been able to hookup Apple TV 4 with a converter. All works! 

Hallo Herr Kallas, 

wie funktioniert die Verbindung eines Beovision 5, MK 5 ( HD, 720) zu einem Receiver MR 400 von Entertain TV (Telekom )?

Ich bekomme ein Bild,aber keinen Ton. Hatte davor den MediaReceiver 303 angeschlossen, funktionierte wunderbar mit HD-Adapter und getrennter Tonübertragung mittels Cinch-Kabel. Nun kommt aber kein Ton mehr.... Haben Sie eine Idee?

Herzliche Grüße aus Berlin,

do you know if it is possible to connect an Apple TV 4 Generation HDMI 1.4 through a conversion box HDMI 1.4 Input to Component Video and Coaxial Audio Output to a Beovision 5 type 8488.  Do you know any brand of conversion box to recommend.

Very interesting your information could you send me a photo, everything would be useful to me, I appreciate your response. Many say that it is not possible to do so. Your information perhaps can help to do this. THANKS!!

I send you an answer: "I am very sorry but I am not aware of any way reliably use streaming devices such as Amazon Firestick, Sky Q, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc. with older TVs that don't have HDMI sockets fitted. Adapters or converters don't usually work well, as the protection software in the streaming device can turn off the signal unless a TV with an HDMI socket is detected.I am sorry but we no longer support any video cables for TVs without HDMI sockets due to their age and obsolescence."

I tried to post a picture but not sure if it does come through.
