BV7-40 II and Sky HD - Pause When Entering Chanel Numbers....
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2011 19:23>>> Check that Scart control is set to "ON" in the Sky box set up menu. Bingo! That solved the problem. I assumed that all commands from the BV7 were sent to the Sky+ HD box through IR, but it seems that numbers are pass…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 7, 2011 19:08Hi All, I have my BeoVision 7-40 Mk II connected to Sky HD with DVI and co-ax audio as well as a SCART cable. I have the IR sender to the Sky HD box, and use both my Beo4 and Beo5 remotes with this setup. Everything work…
Living With A UK BV 7-40....
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 17, 2010 12:49I'm glad you're getting on OK with your BV 7-40 MkII - unfortunately, I already have 3 HD sources that I'd like to use, and I think Santa might be bringing me a Wii sometime soon (although that's 480p component at best, …
Living With A UK BV 7-40....
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 15, 2010 19:16Hi All, I'm interested to hear how other people have managed the limited HD connectivity of the Beovision 7 Mk II. We've had our BeoVision 7-40 Mk II, on the beautiful motorised floor stand, for about 3 years now. We hav…
3rd Party IR Capture and XML Generation using IRSCOPE
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 10, 2010 19:37Keith, Thanks very much for your reply and offer of help! I think I've solved the problem, though. Fairly predictably, it wasn't anything to do with either IRSCOPE, the config tool or your (excellent) XML generator! I wa…
3rd Party IR Capture and XML Generation using IRSCOPE
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 7, 2010 00:46All, I've had my BEO5 for a couple of weeks now, and I've been trying to get it to directly control a couple of 3rd party products (a Scientific Atlanta HD DVR and a Samsung Blu-Ray player). I've been using a USB IR snif…
Powerlink Cable Problem
in General Discussion & Questions · May 14, 2009 09:15Thanks for your responses. I've read the technical article; I didn't know the differences between Mk1/2 and Mk3 Powerlink cables. Will my Lab 4000s work properly with a Mk 3 cable? I'll make up some new cables to the Mk3…
Powerlink Cable Problem
in General Discussion & Questions · May 13, 2009 23:56Hi All, I've just moved into a new home and am installing my Beolab 3s and Beolab 4000s. I've made up some Powerlink cables using some 8-pin DIN connectors and some Cat7 SSTP ethernet cable that I already had. The cables…
Using a UK BV7-40 in the USA...
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2009 14:47I've been in touch with Russ at Tyson's Corner B&O in Washington DC - he thinks that the power supply on the BV7-40 Mk III US is 110-120V only, so I don't think buying a US screen to bring back to the UK will work. I'm s…
Using a UK BV7-40 in the USA...
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 7, 2009 18:31Hi All, Thank you all very much for your detailed replies. I really liked the suggestion of selling my UK display and buying a US one - until I noticed that you're the manager of the Broadway B&O store! You _clearly_ hav…

Beoport and BS9000 - just how usable is it
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 21, 2007 09:34Hi all, I too am looking at using BeoPort with my BS9000 and I have a PC with all of my mp3s on. I'm wary of using BeoPort without the ability to display track info on the BS9000 display. The documentation for BM-Link st…
Beolab 8000 Dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 13, 2007 05:11Hi all, Thanks again for the helpful advice. The powerlink cable plugs were soldered on by the B&O guys. I've had a confusing development, though... Last night, the speakers (which were previously stuck at standby) start…
Beolab 8000 Dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 11, 2007 16:35Hi all, Thanks for all your helpful replies. It's nice to know there's such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable group of B&O fanatics! I've tried playing with the L/R/Line switch on the faulty side. When I set the switch t…
Beolab 8000 Dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 10, 2007 15:47Hi All, First time poster, having been a B&O owner for all of 2 weeks now. I have bought a Beovision 7-40, with a Beolab 7.4 centre, Beolab 4000s as rears, and a pair of Beolab 8000s as front speakers. The problem is wit…
