Exchange BSys 3 with BSys 4 on a BV 4-50?

[Rolf2]

I have a BV 4-50 D10 panel working with a BeoSystem 3 MK II. I plan to exchange the BSys 3 with a BSys 4. I found two older threads mentioning that there are cables available for the connection of the BSys 4 to the BV panel. Or they may be made by one self, which is beyond my capability. It had not been specified which cables, which manufacturers those cables provide and where to get them. So I kindly ask for your support in answering the following questions:

– Which cables do I need to connect the monitor control and the IR from the BSys 4 to the panel (article or order numbers would be nice 🤗) and where can I get them?

– Is it possible to connect my DVD 2 to the BSys 4 and how?

If someone is using this set-up or a similar one and has made the same endeavour happen, it would be nice and helpful to receive the experience made.

Kind regards,

Rolf

P. S.: In parallel, I contacted B&O customer support and I am waiting for them getting back to me. I will of course share what information they provide.

Ah, I guess I should have placed this topic under „BeoSystem“.

@Multicare: Please, move it there, if this would be the right place, thank you.

For connection of the DVD2 you will have to use the AV socket on the Bsys 4 in order to control the DVD2. B&O made a 9 Pin DIN to start start cable for this purpose. Not sure if that is available anymore. More info about this can be found in this thread https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beoplay-v1-connection-old-stuff/

Other old thread suggest that you can also use HDMI to connect the DVD2 to a TV, but you will still need the start connection in order to get control. Not sure how this is setup on the Bsys 4 connection menu.

The biggest problem there will be to find this adapter (9 pin <-> scart female).

I guess you could use an digital/coax connection for ‘better’ sound.

The setup will be similar to setting up other external sources.

As for using the HDMI….that will need some testing.

In the Beolink Handbook ver. 2.1 (available in the Beotech section) the whirring for the IR eye for both Bsys 3 and 4 is shown for IR eye’s bot with and without auto contrast. From what I can you should be able to replace the existing cable in the IR eye with a standard network cable instead following the whirring diagrams in the Beolink handbook.

Also in the Beolink handbook is the part numbers for the two types of 9 pin mini DIN to start cable. There is both one with a Female and a male scart. part numbers in the screenshot below:
