Thanks for the info Guy!

I didn’t remember resetting anything in the monitor settings so I had a ferret around in the options.

Found the problem, it was in the TV setup section, because I have terrestrial and also satellite digital I need to have both options ‘ticked’, somehow the terrestrial option had become unticked, I re ticked it and yes in the Picture list the size option had reappeared  so an easy job selecting the correct picture size!

Just discovered the same problem with my 10-32, same solution brought a resolution!

Now a happy bunny again, have been building a 1:12 scale Pilot launch recently, or finishing it off after the covid debacle etc so now hopefully back to things B&O

I ahve recently done this, a bit of  a faff producing a means of holding the screen at the desired angle, also neded to fabricate a short conversion lead to enable the7-32 stand to be controlled by the tv,  Guy gave me details of the lead.

Where are you? there has been a 10-40 mount on french ebay recently for about 150€ if i remember correctly

Good luck

Update, the Ouverteur has lost all the radio settings again. so, its time to replace the battery I think!

Also, the tape deck is still working well so I will leave it alone on this occaision.

[stotty1111]

So, after a long delay, I have gathered all the pieces together to replace the battery , the tape drive belt etc as I have a spare weekend!

So, I thought last evening that I would fire the Ouverture up, did so, and low and behold it all works again, even the defunct tape unit!

So, after almost 12 months sitting in a corner disconnected to the mains , any thoughts / explanations out there?

I think under the circumstances I will use it until problems re emerge.

Thanks both for the leads

[stotty1111]

So my ‘o’ rings are 3mm diam, I assume they will not work, I as yet haven’t opened the BC up

That will be later in the week.

Meanwhile, I have ordered some 25mm id x 1.5mm diam rings, they should also be here later in the week!

Have a great festive season all who read this!!

[stotty1111]

I will check tomorrow when i visit the model boat club, I have a box of ‘o’rings where i probably have the appropriate size, courtoisy of Lidl!

[stotty1111]

Ok, thanks

[stotty1111]

Yes!

[stotty1111]

I think a little confusion rules, I am looking for the plugs or the link cable between the head unit and the master box

[stotty1111]

Set the BC2 up as a standalone using BL6000’s – that works, need to try the BC with s dvd to see what happens!

I realise its not an ideal system, a bit ‘clunky’, but if it all works then I’m happy.

Maybe the reset will sort the masterlink problem, but, it might be the tv socket, , caused when the whole system was originally separated, the stand rotation connection plug was also broken, uninitiated people not knowing how to unplug things!

[stotty1111]

Had another idea, because the tv is a heavy lump to manhandle etc I could use the BC2 as a standalone without masterlink and  connected to the tv by the scart lead or the scart/hdmi, and use the BL6000’s for sound, as I think the tv has good sound output from its internal speakers.

Comments please before I embark on trying this!

[stotty1111]

Well, that proved spectacularly unsuccessful, went through the Meno 0,0, go several times and down the list to the bottom option, then factory reset button, the system seemed to respond, but it didn’t, maybe there is another code to action this request!

Anyone?

[stotty1111]

Ok, thanks for that, probably tomorrow!

[stotty1111]

Have been playing around with my system , cleaning connectors etc to no avail.

The 10-40 after programming takes several pushes of the TV button on the Beo4 to boot up the tv, is this normal?

If I reset the tv to factory default using the Beo 4 engineering state, I assume i would lose all programming – is that a correct assumption? Any other ideas out there?

[stotty1111]

Below the Monitor settings

The tv is a Mk 1

Any clarification needed please ask!

 

[stotty1111]

So have now tried the BC2 and the 10-40 with different masterlink cables and reprog’d them both going thro the  a opt 1 then 0 and then v opt 1 and then 2 still no bc2 response. Is the scart lead in use when radio is called?  —  I ask as I have replaced the scart with a scart to hdi converter, which did apparently work when I tested the bc2 with the 10-32!

What next?

[stotty1111]

Have tried the bc2 with the 10 – 32 and it works with the programming etc so , later today I will retry with the 10 – 40 I may well make up a new masterlink connection with a junction box etc to prove the tv maybe the problem.

I have also tried an Amazon conversion cable, ie scart to hdmi, cost about 14€ and yes it works fine If I get success with the rest, I may well convert the lead from scart to hdmi(not as bulky)!

[stotty1111]

I will try tomorrow if time allows!

[stotty1111]

So have now tried various things,

Tried various masterlink cables,between the BC2 and the 10-40, using then there appears to be no comms between the 2 pieces, also connected an Ouverture and prog’d that still no activity although the ouverture works with a 10-32 tv.

So the problem appears to be either the tv masterlink socket, the BC2 socket or the link programming. I have tried 2 other Beo4’s they made no difference.

Is / are there any other things to try / check?

Thanks!
