Hallo JP,

In het customer service menu (van mijn BeoCenter 6-26 zonder HDMI) is de HDCP optie: ga met de beo4 in het 'gewone' menu op 'overige instellingen' staan (niet klikken) en druk dan eerst op het rode pijltje en dan op GO. Je kunt dan bij HDCP een paar verschillende opties kiezen. Misschien dat één van deze werkt. Ik heb een appleTV3 via DVI verbonden en heb de instelling HDMI daar gekozen.

Ik kreeg deze tip van een vriendelijke dealer in gebruikte B&O 👍

Ik hoop dat dit je helpt.

Succes! Groet, Johan

Hi

I have successfully used Chromecast with BV6-26 via a HDMI > HDMI+RCA audio converter.

I got a 10 euro converter from eBay and had no problems with HDCP. But it is also known that some of these converters tend to strip the HDCP from the signal.

That way you get the joy of the HD picture, in contrary to using the HDMI to Composite/Scart converters.

Hi Ravsted, that is a good suggestion! The OP writes (in Dutch 🙂) that he owns a BV6-26 that has HDMI inputs. And still gets the 'snowy' screen after some seconds. I suggested to check the various HDCP settings (I think there are ao. HDMI and DISABLED). Let's hope we can help to get it working, I think these TVs are very nice and worthwile to keep on using them!

Regards, Johan

Ooops... Did not read carefully enough... :-)

"Met HDMI' - did not know BV6 came in a HDMI version.

🤒

Hallo Johan,

Bedankt voor je suggestie, maar helaas werk dit bij mij niet. Ik heb inderdaad alle opties geprobeerd in het costumer service menu aangaande HDCP. Of het scherm blijft helemaal zwart of grijs met ruitjes.

Tthat's a pity. I am not sure if I can help you much more. Would the Chromecast be the problem? That it somehow is set (fixed) to a (too high) definition so that the BV cannot deal with it? I believe my BC has 720p. Perhaps some other members can help here.

Hi Johan,

I used the Chromecast on a Beovision 8-26 and this was OK. Also I own a Beovision 7-40Mk3 and it works OK with that TV. Is it possible it's the software version of the Beovision 6-26? Mine has 09.98a and according to Beoworld the latest software is 10.11a?

Hi Jaap, I am over-asked here. I did first have a snowy screen with my ATV3 that I bought secondhand, but with a reset of it, and the HDCP setting to HDMI I have a good image on my BC6-26 now. Hopefully someone else can help!

Hi

It can be HDCP or EDID handshake related.

I have solved that in two scenarios with this HDMI splitter:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352990907104

Scenario 1: BV7-32 MK3 (DVI but HD-ready) did not show picture from set-top-box or was unstable and turned black often.

Scenario 2: 7 year old Philips LED TV showed black screen when connected to PlayStation 4. Chromecast, Apple TV and Raspberry Pi was fine.

In both cases the problem was solved by putting this splitter in between TV and source.

A rather cheap investment ... And maybe worth trying.
