I think it proves one point. That apart from some of the speakers of B&O the rest of the range is somewhat 'wanting' The fact it costs £9000 has little to do with it as 60% of that is profit to B&O; in the end one has to make a decision as to the worth of a tv that looks pretty- this makes one wonder quite how much 'development'

moxxey: timhanna: "The issue is with the box. The manufacturers of these boxes for some reason only allow either the HDMI or Scart and not both to be operational at the same time. SKY HD boxes allow both to work and the switching voltage on the Scart tells the set the status of the box. Sometimes the copy protection between the TV and the box via

I dont think you can control that from beo 4/5

If you down load the technical brochure you will see that this is for conection to the main graffic eye unit. That bit you are looking at is just the receiver for wallmount

Its the speakers that have gone up but i think the flat screen policy of B&O will have to be in sharp review. With many new LCD sourced from China we should see prices 30% less than they are now-unless B&O get very greedy and ask the same money when they source for about 10th of the retail price- if they do that - they are doomed!

I think I want to buy the North American versions of B&O- they get HD sound- we dont. We get the crash to off - they dont- its hardly fair

It would seem that a lot of 'extra engineering' has gone into products for the North American market, leaving us in the UK ( one of B&O largest markets) with the lesser versions of product.

9 LEE: Standard 'blah' i would call it.. very non-committal, and clearly written by a PR Department. At the moment though, i think B&O have bigger fish to fry... Lee It seems to me that the new founded bodies like the 'carbon trust' for example are another way of raising revenue, now we even have departments within local councils

For a variety of reasons there is little I can now add to this debate, that has not been said already; accordingly, I have decided to retire It would appear that everyone is correct in their own way, BS3 does support output in some way, HDMI further complicates the issue with handshake problems which B&O could not be expected to address in the development

moxxey: "At the moment the PS3 cannot decode DTS-HD but it can do Dolby True HD sound. However, the PS3 will decode DD True HD internally and send it as PCM, which is basically the same thing, when connected to the Amp by HDMI cable. You will not get HD sound from a optical connection as optical does not have the bandwidth to cope with the HD signal
