I would suggest puting a tech in with the container and send it to Melbourne or Sydney. Failing the tech putting up with the voyage maybe align yourself with a service agent or agency somehow. pm if you need further details... beoaus...

[quote user="geearr"] I have also used the Jaycar Toslink to S/PDIF to connect a PS3 into the BV7-40 Mk2 and it works very well. However, both the audio and video go into AV4 and everything can be setup in the config menu. I think that this is the proven way to go and I don't think that you can run the other two inputs (camcorder and A4

[quote user="Alex"] The digital inputs on the mkII 7-40 (and the mkI) can only decode surround sound signals. Standard 2-channel PCM (what the Apple TV spews out) isn't supported. [/quote] Sure about this? I think others are using the AppleTV via SPDIF in BV740-MKII. If so does that mean movies get 5.1 but you can't listen to music

I have seen a few threads on something similar though none have helped as yet. My AppleTv is connected via the Camera connectors on a BV7-40MKII. Sound is also via one of these http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=AA1720&keywords=toslink&form=KEYWORD (A4 on the optical in) as well as the RCA plugs. Problem is I can't get optical sound

Problem solved. It was not the software update. Started the slave TV in this case a MX7000 before the BS9000, and other link systems. The BV7 (Video Master) was the last. Seems the order fixed the problem. Complete fluke that I found the resolution. beoaus.

[quote user="beoaus"] If I bought the Gefen switch would I loose one of the above in order to control it. Or does the 7.7 software allow the Gefen switch to be used as a 3rd box that can be controlled, effectively bypassing the 2 PUC limitation? This is the stumbling block in buying the gefen splitter. [/quote] I ran a few tests on the BV740

I'm still confused... I have V.AUX set to control a Panasonic DMR-BW500 and DTV to control Foxtel Digital (SKY Plus). That is the 2 PUC's on a BV7-40MKII and two i'd rather not loose. If I bought the Gefen switch would I loose one of the above in order to control it. Or does the 7.7 software allow the Gefen switch to be used as a 3rd box

My view is that it is 50/50 as to whether B&O will survive another 2 or more years. Indicators are not great. Product and marketing decisions in the last few years have been ill advised and not successful. I would hope the offer is based around B&O taking ownership of their many stuff ups and moving forward on a new path along with significant

There are differences between the Scart connectors on a BV3. Its similar to the Avant I owned. Try to track down the technical settings from the original annual brochure for the year the BV3 was purchased. It conveniently lists the technical details of each connector. beoaus

Maybe over to Keith to clarify then. ...Must admit I was surprised about the BV7-40 MKIV, thought it would be capable of controlling 4 additional devices... beoaus.
