Beovision 10 - Freeview HD (DVB-HD/DVB-T2)
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 14, 2011 17:53Are you sure? The Spec lists DVB-T, and Freeview HD is DVB-T2. It's not backwards compatible.
CAT5
in General Discussion & Questions · May 16, 2011 04:19Yes. They're both just 4 pair cables that look pretty much identical. Just one is rated for higher bandwidths.

in General Discussion & Questions · May 5, 2011 14:16[quote user="kallasr"]Cat 5 will work.... not with beonet but using it for ML and / or PL.[/quote] Well, it might. We'll just have to wait and see. For the communcations part of Beonet, it may be likely they just use sta…
Beolab 5 upgrade from beolab 9 questions
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 12, 2011 04:23As above, I really wouldn't waste you're time with a standalone DAC. In simple terms, the BL5 signal path either goes: Analogue Line in -> ADC -> DSP -> DAC -> Output or Digital in -> DSP -> DAC -> Output So putting a DA…
Apple TV+SkyHD+XBox 360 connected to BV7-32, HOW?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 12, 2011 04:18I don't think a non-HDMI BV7 will control an HDMI expander. It is a possible solution if you want to control it manually. Though you'll also need something to switch the audio too.
New Catalogue is online now!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2011 06:12[quote user="OKF"] B+O logic would be Ethernet called ethernet, but maybe same signal, which to my opinion would make sense. Why do you think it would fry them? [/quote] I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but I'd …
New Catalogue is online now!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2011 06:00Wouldn't think so - it's be advertised as ML if it supported it. Doing that would probably fry the BS5 or the masterlinked products.
New Catalogue is online now!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2011 05:34Yes there is - Ethernet. New B&O products will be linked using traditional networking (apparently). Eventually, a device to bridge between this and MasterLink will be created. This is all in other threads, but no one see…
New Catalogue is online now!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2011 05:12I think you have to be patient and wait for some sort of masterlink converter. Apparently this won't be coming as soon as people would like.
Beo6 Y-FI?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 3, 2011 06:03So you'd rather they had a load of products that support wifi, and no remote to control them? I think the key is 'yet'. BS5 will be updated shortly, I believe.
LINE(S) OF BLACK AND WHITE PIXELS!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2011 13:26As others have said, it does sound a lot like the 'cue dot' that is often used by broadcasters during live broadcast to inform their regions when the adverts are about to begin. Does it happen just before or at the end o…
How Do I Add Extra PUC Codes to a BV8-40?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2011 10:49[quote user="Pestria"]What codes should I get for free on installation?[/quote] Whatever you need or want, provided it's available.
Upgrade a Beovision 7-32 mark1 for computer connections and ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 25, 2010 04:59From experience from one afternoon of trying to do this, the BV7-32 doesn't report its resolutions (via EDID) correctly. Linux reports it as invalid, at least. So I struggled to persuade it to accept the native resolutio…
BluRay player - What are You using at home?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 24, 2010 04:53I'm currently looking for a bluray player, and had found the BD-C6500 and thought it looked a good bet. I have a couple of questions for anyone who's got one: - What PUC are you actually using to control it? From the lis…
Talk me into/out of buying BS5
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 9, 2010 04:26[quote user="mbee"] May I ask a stupid "musical feature" question : is the Beosound 5 now able to play songs gapless ??? Because that is a huge flaw that really put me out of buying this. [/quote] It always has been. You…
Talk me into/out of buying BS5
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 7, 2010 16:09[quote user="mawheele"]The Beosound 5 does not provide a seamless connection to your iTune library. [/quote] I still fail to see how this would even be helpful. You want to be free of the constraints of a platform like i…
How to play video MKV files on the BeoMaster 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 24, 2010 06:36It is possible that the Beomaster's app isn't built to output 5.1 sound and will only do PCM2.0. Check if it does it in WMP. That said, if it does, then I'd be looking in the Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel - I th…
How to play video MKV files on the BeoMaster 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 23, 2010 05:22[quote user="bhollenberg"]But, due to the fact that the AVI container is not suitable for 5.1 channel sound, I therefore want to use a MKV container with H.264 video encoder and AC-3 audio encoder with 5.1 channels at 48…
how can i display 1080i on beovision 6 26?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 19, 2010 15:19It's hard because it's not built as a native HD-ready TV. It was designed to have analogue inputs, and anything else was tacked on later. You'll need the HD hardware and software upgrades mentioned above, else it's just …
