Help!! Anyone with a beovision?

[blindswelledrat]

I need help
I've spent the last 40 minutes trying to set up a fking simple Apple TV .
I succeeded in getting Apple TV but with the sound from the tv and then I succeeded in being unable to play any source. How fking complicated to they have to fking well make this?

Anyway, first simple question:
How do you toggle between input sources?
As it stands the sky box is scarted into the back and if I press DTV I have sky. The apple is plugged into the dvi socket . How do I toggle to that? I've even had the fking manuals out like a massive girl and they are no fking help at all. Can you tell I'm annoyed?
Anyway thanks in anticipation

You should have an input button, or AV/TV button on the remote, and on the TV. Just keep pressing it and it will toggle though all the inputs.

Do you not have a HDMI input on the TV?

[blindswelledrat]

It has dvi instead of hdmi for the hd. The remote does not have the button you suggest

[TheHeretic]

Which remote do you have? Find a pic on google. OR, you can go into the menu, (presumably), and select the input you need.

DVI does not carry audio by the way, at least it never the last time I bothered with it.

[blindswelledrat]

I've been into the menu and there seems to be no way to toggle between them. It's a waste of fking time if the dvi doesn't carry audio anyway. Thanks for trying but I know the basics and you are never going to guess how I need to do it- you will have to know your way round a beovision to do it. I have a Sony in the kitchen in it is exactly as you describe it

How are you running the audio?

[blindswelledrat]

I don't even know what that means

Well, normally, if I was running DVD from a laptop, I would have to run audio from the headphone jack to the audio in, (red and yellow pledges on the back of the TV), to take the audio. The Apple TV had an optical out, so if the TV has an optical in, then you could carry audio that way. You should be able to tell the TV which audio to use in the menu, (if there is more than one method).

What make and model beovision is it?

[blindswelledrat]

You can set the audio in the menu, h, but I don't have a wire to make any connections as I thought a dvi was the same as hdmi. The model is a beovision 7 mark 3 32 inch

HdmI to dvi cable to the TV. 3.5mm to phono cable to the phono sockets on av4 in the back of the TV. The back panel that comes off should have a diagram that shows you where the phono inputs are.

Menu on the remote, connections, select AV4. Set HD input to DVI, for "source" scroll through until you find one of the inputs that relates to a spare button on your remote (Vmem)

Save

Press Vmem on remote.

If your TV is connected to other B&O TVs or speakers in other rooms, you can now press Vmem in any room yo get the audio you play from, or airplay to, the apple tv

[TheHeretic]

OK, how you would do it would be to plug in the DVI, this would be your video. Then in the top right of your panel is an 'L R'. This would be where you would plug in your audio. However, as your TV is a bit older, it doesn't have optical audio, of HDMI, which buggers you a bit.




You could purchase an optical to analogue converter, which would allow you to connect the audio, or just plug the optical audio directly into any audio equipmet you may be using. Talk sense seems to know what he is on about... Vmem? Never heard of it! :

Or assign the whole thing to AV3 instead of AV 4 and use one of those scart to composite adapters you get with a wii etc. you just then set the HD input to av3 instead of av4

Thanks. Will try that at half time if I can find an audio lead anywhere. Any reason you plucked av4 instead of 2 or 3 in that description?

[blindswelledrat]

For av4 it only gives the options of pc or none for source

[blindswelledrat]

Under av2 the options for source are : none, dvd2, v.aux, stb(v.aux), PC, decoder

None of these correspond with the remote which has been the promlem

[TheHeretic]

How are you running the audio? The ATV3 only has optical out, unless you have another sort of converter?

The phono inputs are tied to av4, as in heretics picture.

To add PC as a source(assuming you have a beo4)

Press standby (red dot) and list together. The display on the remote should show "add?"

Press centre button on remote. Press right until display (on remote, not TV) shows PC. Press centre button again.

Press "list" on remote until display on remote shows PC. Press centre button to select PC spurce(hopefully)

[blindswelledrat]

I am not running the audio. Ill have to do that after when I get a phono lead

Can I use this to add vmem as an option for av4?
