Hi All

I need a bit of help

I have a US version of a Beosytem 1 (So no 21pin connector)

I want to connect a B&O DVD 1

What connections should I use to get the best quality picture and sound

Thanks

Barry

Your only (best) option is to connect S-Video and Digital (optical) audio to the BeoSystem 1.

what about just putting the audio in to the Beosystem 1 and then the video from the DVD player to the TV.  You would have to switch both sources (TV and Beosystem) but wouldn't that work?

Or another idea....why couldn't you just plug all of your sources to the TV and take the TV audio out to the Beosystem and let the Beosystem do just the audio that way too?

The limitation is the DVD 1. It only has s-video and composite video outs. Running either to the TV directly wouldn't give you a better picture. In fact it might be worse because when connected to the BeoSystem 1 the signal passes through a line doubler.

B&O do make a SCART to RGB cable that could go to the TV but it is really not needed because the DVD 1 still only output 480.
