The fact that France uses SECAM is not an issue to you because you are using a STB and you would use the RGB output from it via the SCART connector. The Humax freeview box should pick up the free MPEG2 channels, but they don't use MHEG so digital text and interactive channels won't work. France has its own version of Freeview called TNT-gratuite

Well, we must assuming the AVANT has developed another fault not related to the stand issue. The problem is going to be caused by either:- A component failure, normal short circuit which has caused the Power Supply protection circuit to cut in to stop damage to the TV A fault on PCB60 mains distribution located at the bottom left hand side If you are

Well, is good you found out about the SAT box, so you had two faults. From your answer I am assuming you are going to get your local B&O dealer to look at the AVANT ?

The latest version of the Beolink Passive does NOT have the switch and red light, it has been that way for a couple of years now. I guess B&O are trying to save the planet...

Whilst it is possible, you have the VCR SCART connector available etc, but I would not spend the time and money doing it. Other than having the DVD player located in the base, what is the value to you ? I would keep your DVD player external controlled by the STB (Set Top Box) controller.

If you do not have the "Standby" red dot, then nothing will work. The first thing to check is the 3.15 amp fuse on PCB60 (Mains distribution) and then we can go from there. Are you sure that you have not done anything else since it was last working ? As the stand control module uses the +14 volts, it could now have failed in a more solid way

Steve, Also check the Zener diodes D7 & D8 because if one were faulty, then the signal at pin 3 (right) and pin 11 (left) could become low resistance and effectively join the two signals. The best way to test these two zener diodes is to measure the voltage between signal ground and pin 7 of IC2 which should be (minus) -7.5 volts and on pin 14 of

I agree Andy.. We all often look for the complex answer, when a simple one exists. Graham came up with the simple answer.

Without doing some voltage checks when the picture is "black" it is difficult to determine the cause of your problem. The fact that is is now effecting the sound as well has " thrown a spanner in the works " so to speak, so the most likely situation is that you have two faults, I would be surprised if the one fault is the cause of

This is an interesting problem. Clearly the stand motor and its control is working correctly otherwise you would not be able to turn the TV with the arrow buttons. The problem appears to be with saving of the position in memory where perhaps the high order "bits" are not saved because you say the stand moves a few degrees. To prove if this
