Needs help to connect Beosound Ouverture & Beolab 3500.
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 7, 2012 08:58Hi, before trying link settings etc, did you make the masterlink cable yourself? If so it's very easy for one of the cables to not make a clean connection causing all kinds of issues. Can you try a different masterlink c…

Running DVD1 from Beovision 8-32?
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 1, 2011 05:34Hi, you're right, the DVD 1 can only be controlled via a B&O TV by a Beo4 remote, Beo 5 and Beo 6 remote. If I were you I'd assign the AV3 port to DVD. This will allow you to press the DVD button on your Beo 4 to take fu…

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 31, 2011 20:12Hi Synth, yes the DVD 1 would work fine when connected to your Beovision 8 with a scart lead, however it is important to purchase a good quality 'fully wired' scart. You can simply control your DVD 1 with your beo4 when …
bv5 brightness change?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 25, 2011 12:55I have experienced this before when I used a DVD1. Have turned off 'movie mode' on the TV. I don't know whether movie mode actually makes a difference to the brightness/contrast but it might be worth trying it? Regards

bv5 brightness change?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2011 06:33Hi, you're not using a DVD 1 to watch films are you? If you are then it's a setting in the DVD 1 menu, i think it's called 'Black level shift' set this to off. It's very noticeable on a BV5z Regards, Cal
can't select "pc" with my Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2011 16:59With the software I have I'm afraid there is no way to select dvi (other than selecting pc on the remote). All other inputs can be assigned.

DVI port on Beovision 7-32 Mark 3
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2011 06:17Hi Jonathan, I'm not sure of the Beovision 7's ability to downscale, perhaps try setting the STB's to 720 to see if any picture is given at all. Regards, Cal

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2011 06:14Hi Olivier, The blacks are very good indeed. One thing that has occured to me however is in regards to the 'Hotel version' Beo 4. To display the picture from the PC you will need to set up 'PC' on the Beo 4, unfortunatel…

IR Splitter
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 3, 2011 07:03Hi, yes you can do this, as the signals are different. I do the same using a BeoVision 5 controlling a Virgin STB and an Apple TV. A simple Headphone splitter does the job. Cal
Your latest purchase?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 24, 2011 14:01I was under the impression that you could use the Beovision 7/Beolab 2000 as a remote CD player without requiring an audio master? Cal
Finally I found a used Beolab 3500 for my kitchen
