in eBay - the right way! · Apr 2, 2011 19:12There's no reserve price. It will sell for whatever people think it's worth. I've just updated the ad to include a 3m Masterlink cable with the Beoport. I forgot to include this in the original wording.

MX7000 - mute the picture but keep the sound?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2008 03:49Thanks for the suggestions. Regarding the first, I am assuming that AV must be added to the Beo4 list. I've done this, but the source is the TV (AppleTV connected via AV2 expander) so the picture turns on even if I press…
