Based on this thread, I tried the fix Beophile suggested and inserted this weekend the DTS box between my BL2 and my BL1 speakers and it seems to have solved the problem of having almost no BL2 output in speaker 2 mode. Thanks for the suggestion!

it seems in the US it sells for $500 (not sure if charger is included) + $250 to set it up

Activating the Zektor switch in the external sources menu (alhough I don't have one yet) suddenly allowed me to choose Generic YPbPr under DVD, SAT, etc. The beosystem 1 will now also search for a component input when selecting DVD, SAT, something it never did before except with TV. Blueray picture quality is indeed up to par with the signal coming

Was your update only software or did it involve hardware as $500 sounds high? I bought my beosystem 1 new in summer 2006, so it should be one of the very last units I think.

I tried connecting my normal DVD player (samsung DVD-VR325) again by component cable. I cannot select Generic YPbPr under External sources - > DVD (only Generic NTSC is avaialable) but I can select it under External sources -> SAT. With my DVD player outputting in 480p, 720p or 1080i, I cannot get an image with the component cable (but I can via

Do you have the select a certain model for DVD under

I tried hooking up a sony blueray player to my beosystem 1 yesterday via component cable (I unplugged the component from my digital HD cable box) but I never got a picture. I also tried to hook up my normal DVD player by component cable but also that didn't work. I am not sure if I have some setting wrong but I am open to any suggestions. Can I

Is it worth hooking up a blueray DVD player to a beosystem 1 (with a 1080i beovision 4 screen) or will the picture quality not be better than a normal dvd player (as I understand the beosystem 1 normally upconverts the 480p DVD signal to 1080i anyway)? Do I need to upgrade to a beosystem 3 to enjoy the benefits of HD DVD or blueray and is the improvement

Does anybody have any experience with these? I emailed them to see if they have a USA product already.
