This excellent and much used feature can be activated by pressing source>list>AV>source but it seems that ever more button pressing is required! On my LX its picture>mute. Simple. Anyone know why B&O did not make the Avant respond to this BL1000 command or indeed the newer Beo4 P.Mute? Teletext commands are also changed so the BL1000's

Will send you a PM Neil. David

Anyone know the part number for the Avant mounting shelf for the V8000? I already have a sat reciever on the lower rear of the TV. I seem to remember there is a shelf for the top. Avant is a MK2 if it makes any difference. Thanks David

Keith, As Nobby says I need to get used to switching it manually! This, and the fact that on-screen status displays are not used (I can't see the red one on the top) are the only faults with an otherwise hugely impressive TV. Regards David

Thanks Keith - Mine is type 8453 so it seems I can't. I can see nothing in the service menu relating to the STB. Can the software be updated to do this? David

Any way I can stop this turning off the Sky box when I put the TV to standby? I have other TV's that use the signal (but don't control the box) via the RF loop. Avant model is late 2003.

I tried the DVD1 directly into AV2 of the LX and it works fine so there is a problem with the AVX1 not transmitting the pin 8 signal. It must be a dodgey scart plug connection no doubt caused by everyday use of the motorised stand. Thanks for the help all David

Agree with Simon but if you value using the B&O remote rather than a cheap plastic thing with lots of tiny buttons then go for it! Earlier versions can be a bit flakey with recordable discs but otherwise sound and picture quality is very good. I would get one of the later versions 2004 on. £295 is a bit steep but when you consider the original

I have BL1000 and Beo4 so no remote problems. Thanks David

My DVD1 is no longer responding to commands via my LX5500. I does work fine using the buttons on the front of the DVD player. I checked the scart leads and found no problems. I use an AVX1 expander and there is no problem with that. I use CDV for the DVD1 but have also tried VTape2 and all scart sockets and nothing happens. Any suggestions? David
