I have a question about playing music through B&O 7-40 TV with built-in DVD and ipod dock...  When I play music, the TV screen backlight is always on (the screen is blank/ black with little bit brighter than it is completely off).  Is that normal?  I'm worry about the screen will be burn in if backlight on for long time

You can "mute" the picture by adding the [P-MUTE] command to the Beo4.

I believe this will give you what you want.

You will need to use the Beo4 [ADD] command function ... press Standby (red/orange dot) and [LIST] keys together and then following prompts on the little Beo4 screen using the up and down arrows [ v ] and [ ^ ] and (GO) to select

Thank you for your reply!  I think you answered my questions, thank you!

However, I do not have beo4 remote for this TV, I can get one from the other room but that would be inconvenient if I need to use the other remote every time.  Do you know if I can add P-mute command on beo5 remote?

Thanks again for your help! 🙂

Beo5 can do it, but must be programmed to do so....
