Beovision 10-46 in 3D in 2012 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2012 07:39Tim, I've mentioned in other threads that there is too much focus on the display technology. Don't use this as a buying decision. This is not the big news or where you should focus IMOP. If you talk to the TV companies, …
Update to Beovision 10-46 vs. jump to 7-55?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2012 12:14We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Panels/Glass have improved on 3 counts; response rates, light and angle of view. I would argue that many people who aquired the latest panels are blown away by the fact that t…
The unique, one and only SOFTWARE UPDATE THREAD!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 29, 2012 03:43Hi there, Unfortuntely I've not found a single home for the rev history and hopefully someone with access to the service tool can update this thread. Going through this thread and some others on BV7 MkIII onwards you'll …
Any further improvements to BV 7-40?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 6, 2012 15:16I believe the major benefits you'll gain from jumping from a MkII to one of the newer models is the BeoSystem 3 engine with its HDMI connectors and the 1080P Full HD display. I'm not sure I agree with Moxxy on this one. …
BeoVision 7 3D Glasses Compatibility?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2012 13:12I very much doubt that B&O have the R&D available to develop their own 3D standards - remember this is not a company that does software really. The issue is more related to the TV and Glasses connecting. I'm only guessin…
Some expert advice on the Beovision 7-40 Mk3 and the 10-40.
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 16:04It sounds like you might not have not used the right speaker setting in the sound menu. Sorry, I've forgotten the correct one - but check the manual as it goes 0,1,2,3 or similar. Your dealer is right about the 7.4. Its …
Beoport vs AirTunes - strange finding
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 15:57Airtunes is not really comparable to Beoport since its actually a streaming solution that uses the Remote Audio Output Protocol and is infinately more sophisticated, carrying more data and content types - including 1080P…
The unique, one and only SOFTWARE UPDATE THREAD!
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 14:24Moxxey, Hug a tree, save the planet. Solar power is the future for your home. Or with a reliable 11.xx (we hope) that finally after nearly 5 years, we'll have a perfect BV7-40 that finally says what it does on the tin. L…
The unique, one and only SOFTWARE UPDATE THREAD!
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 07:42Hi Moxxey, Unfortunately 10.x introduced a handshake issue that made startup of the Sky box from standby sometimes will not work reliably. The resolution was to leave the Sky box always on. In my case, this was an issue …
Cabling questions
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 06:18Hi all, I'm about to move into a new home. The house is actually 25 years old - so not a new build. I'm thinking about the cabling and would like to link my products over Cat7. I'm not very familiar with B&O's protocols …

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 06:11Quick question for people with the new TV. What version of the BS3 firmware is installed on the TV?
Beovision 7-55 3D
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 06:10I noticed recently that the industry players are looking to standardise glasses specifications for 2012 models.
The unique, one and only SOFTWARE UPDATE THREAD!
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 06:08Has anyone seen an update for BeoSystem 3 / BV 7 recently and do you know what the updates contained. In particular, I'm looking for improved handshake functionallity over HDMI for AppleTV2 and Sky Box. I'm currently run…
Freeview HD Module for Beosystem 3 and BV7
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2011 05:55Hi all, Does anyone have any details about the forthcoming Freeview HD module for the BS3 and BV7 system in the UK. I'd heard it was due summer time. Thanks.
Oled
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 27, 2011 15:50I think it unlikely.... I would bet we'll never see one. OLED is achieving good yields at smaller glass sizes. Unfortunately, B&O has departed the smaller screen market at the current time only offering 32" and above. B&…
software updates for Beovision 7-40 mark iv
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 25, 2011 14:13I think pre version 8.0x of the BV7-40 software package, it was certainly the case that caution was required before installing any B&O software update. More frequently than not, you'd fix one thing just to find a new fau…
The unique, one and only SOFTWARE UPDATE THREAD!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 30, 2011 10:29Hi BS3 and BV7 owners, Who has upgraded to 10.02 so far? Has anyone had any problems with this particular build? I'm hoping to schedule my dealer to visit me this week, but before I finalise it, I just wanted to check th…
B&O and Intel to cooperate on Smart TV
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2011 10:53Great to see B&O trying to find solutions to Next Generation Home Entertainment. Working with Intel seems strange to me. Just as the world seems to be moving to ARM or Tegra 2 architecture, in jumps B&O into yesterdays g…
BV7-40 MK3 & Blue ray upgrade
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 12, 2010 04:30[quote user="Opman"]Perhaps you need to also budget for an upgrade to Beo5 (or 6) which makes on screen navigation much easier.[/quote] I did have a Beo5 - 2 in fact. Sold it. Really disappointing product in my view. I'l…
BV7-40 MK3 & Blue ray upgrade
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 11, 2010 14:01Yes - all as per Vienna. The dealer (Reading B&O) lent me a replacement 7-40. Outstanding service. My TV was away for a day or so. Its a fairly lengthy piece of work. Startup time is longer. Not too much of a pain, but l…
