does anybody know how to take the cloth fret off a beovision 5? i'm thinking of changing my black cloth fret to a silver one - at the moment the beovision 5 looks like one big silly 4:3 screen when people see it for the 1st time - i like the silver fret because it matches the aluminum frame and makes a clear division between the glass screen and

russ, thanks for the indepth explanation. a dealer just rang me suggesting a S/PDIF splitter but your conection method looks and sounds more slick...! thank you kindly!

errrr, getting more confused.... when i pass a didgtial signal throught the SDIF cable from a BC2 to the BV5 digital input on the BV5 the digital signal gets processed into 5 analogue streams which are then sent down the powerlink cables for 5.1 sound (straightforward)...but if am already using the only digital output available for this how can i send

soundproof gave a great explanation of how to connect the beolab 5 to beocenter 2 for a digital connection in order to make use of the excellent digital converters onboard the beolab 5s:----"Make sure you set up the Daisy-Chain properly. Digital OUT from BC2 - to Digital IN on one speaker - Digital OUT from that speaker - to Digital IN on the next

thanks for teh advice. i spoke to local b&o dealer and they said that an expensive DENON would have the same sensititvity to scratches because like B&O it follows the 'red bokk' standard. this is load of nonsense! i have tried a Denon and it copes superbly with scratched DVDs. i wish dealers would stop coming up with fantastical excuses

i have a DVD1 (one of the later machines made) but it is irritating me - it is so sensitive to scratches. i always clean rental DVDs as advised before playing them but it seems to struggle when my laptop and cheap £100 machines don't!! the DVDs aren't even that badly scratched...! i was looking into replacing it with a beocenter 2 but

thanks keith. that's an amazing article and i am reassurred. no beocenter 2 for me at the moment. i love the beocenter 2 and wanted to replace my DVD 1 but until this is sorted i will stick with my beosound 9000 and it's FM radio for now... with all the articles from europe i am getting the distinct feeling that DAB is dying a slow death...

just as we get used to DAB and moves to improve the bitrate in the UK it looks like there are serious moves internationally to adopt the DAB+ standard. some manufacturers have incorporated DAB+ into their portable radios so that you will be able to listen both to DAB+ and DAB as the latter is slowly phased out. does anyone know if B&O are thinking

just accessed the menu under 'connections'..thanks but the list of freeview boxes listed are all really old and nearly all of them can't be purchased anymore.do i need a software update on the vision 5 or if it says panasonic tu-ct20 does that mean all modern panasonics will work.the other ones can't be bought anymore & reluctant

wow, just fired this new forum up on my computer..good stuff. nice clean lines..bit like B&O wanted to get a freeview box but which ones are compatible with my STB on my vision5.didn't want to get one and find it doesn't work.don't watch loads of t.v but would like the extra channels & don't wnt to spend more than a £100
