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!

Mr Dumb getting Dumber, I had forgotten about the Pincode as the tv (BV10-40) does not have one!

So entered the pin code, re prog’d the unit for masterlink operation, no response,   —   reprog’d as a stand alone, connected some BL speakers and yes it works.

I will now try some different masterlink cables as a starter to try to id my problem, meantime, anyone out there with any suggestions please feel free to make ’em!

[stotty1111]

Finally got back to this today, the BV 10-32 is now installed and working perfectly!

I have the BC master connected to the tv using a masterlink, and a scart lead and a connection to the head unit, the head unit power on indicator is continually flashing, I have tried all the plugs etc, I am looking for suggestions as to my problem!

 

Remounted Beocenter topic acn a moderator delete this post from this tpoic please

Thanks

Ok, got it, thanks, I’ll look at the manual later, currently working on a piece to hold a bv 10-32 at an angle when using a BV 6 / 7 wall mount! See elsewhere on the forum.

[stotty1111]

So, off at a slight tangent, I have the offer of an s video cable, will that remove the need for the scart lead?

Also, with 2 of the bv 10-40  scart sockets ,adjacent to them are s video sockets and PUC sockets, dumb question, if the s video cable replaces the scart lead, would I need to use  a PUC with the tv as well(I think not!!)

My BC2 and bv 10-40 manuals are elsewhere so I cannot consult it!

Thanks in advance

It could be one of the plugs on the masterlink cable I will look more closely tomorrow!

[stotty1111]

So just tried it with the masterlink and the scart disconnected. pressing radio the bc2 switches on, and if the tv is working thd BC2 switches on but the tv continues.

Just reprogrameb the BC2 via opt 1 then opt0 it now doesn’t switch on, had to reprog the tv, that now works but when called the radio doesn’t Do I now reconnect the m/link and scart and retry?

[stotty1111]

Thanks for the response, I will try later with the scart, and also another masterlink cable!

Audio reset  —  I read in the masterlink manual that it is best to commence by aud option 1 then aud opt 0  –  I have tried this to no avail hence my other questions!

Thanks

Ta!!

I have now got back to this small problem.

I have been ‘fiddling’ about with the Favourites list, and have had some success!

Probably because I do not use cards , just use ‘Free to Air’ satellite channels.

Consequently the saved/moved channels are numbered from 1 in the listings, it’s a bit ‘b*ll aching’ but I am happy with this as my other B&O tv’s do not have the relevant pcb’s fitted.

So for my satellite viewing I use satellite boxes which have the channels numbered from 1 onwards!

It is a pain when the channels are rearranged on the satellite though!

Still no response from Customer Care!

[stotty1111]

Now I have finished the installation of peripherals, BC2, PC, etc.

I need to visit a DIY store in Quimper, it’s part of the B&Q group to look for some ducting or cable wrap to tidy up the cable runs, the original wrap has been uv affected.

The photos are not very good but give an idea of my situation, I would love to get hold of a cble cover as well, rocking horse droppings I suspect!

 

And the final view of the cables tidied

Finally got back to this having been diverted by 4m3 of logs for my fire, they needed splitting, stacking etc

Back to the tilt arrangement.

I found a piece of silver steel, 3mm in diametet, cut a 3mm thread on one end to mount the turnbuckle.

I then cut the piec to approximate length, and cut a 3mm thread on the blank end.

I cut a piece of 2mm ali strip to create a mount for the rod, I intnded using an STB tube mount.

The strip had a 3mm hole on the projecting end.

The central cable mounting area in the bottom centre of the rear of the tv was drilled out with a 4mm hole.

The left handed threaded piece was mounted there using a 4mm screw. The right handed thread piece was then fitted and the length needed was measured.

 

The long piece was then adjusted, the pieces were then mounted and the cable tie was removed.

 

 

With this system and all the thread piece screwed in the screen is virtually vertical with the possibility of and adjustment of around 30mm to give some tilt of said screen, time will tell if it is sufficient,

The various scratches etc will be burnished away when I locate my Micro Mesh kit!

This has been an interesting challenge, I think it is going to be successful!!

[stotty1111]

Thanks for that Guy!

Next question, are they still available or am I on a quest for hen’s teeth / rocking horse droppings?

I’m looking for 2!!

[stotty1111]

Going on from this, did B&O ever market any sort of plug to fill the shelf mounting point on the vertical tube when the shelf was not used?

[stotty1111]

I have now modified the system for adjusting the screen angle when using a BV 7 single pole stand with for me a 10-40 tv.

 

 

 

 

I will try to update the photos by using the flash on my camera.

 

[stotty1111]

made an error with this

[stotty1111]

Thanks for that!
