I've tried two units so far (North American version) from my dealer and both behave the same. The "Film Mode" in the service menu still does not do anything as far as the "motion compensated de-interlacing" goes. My dealer can't confirm since they apparently have updated all thier televisions to DVI inputs and can't hook

Looks like I'm going to be upgrading to a Beosystem3 from a Beosystem1. I understand that the film mode is gone. Are the artifacts that occur with high detail scenes gone as well? Also I understand some of these new "Realta" processed dvd players from the likes of Denon are superb. Is it worth integrating something like that into the Beosystem3

Just picked up a demo Beosystem 1 from my dealer and was setting it up. Although a pretty cool trick, I'm anxious to defeat the Film Mode for my DVD viewing as recently discussed in the forum. I've cautiously entered into the service menu but nothing changes when I switch "Film Mode" to the off setting ( yes I can discern the difference

Roger, Just wanted to clarify. I just bought a used Beosystem 1 and was planning on defeating the Filmmode for the same reasons as Mr. Wedendhal. Are you saying, however, that by defeating Film Mode you reduce some quality aspects of the upconversion other than motion compensation? Michael Atlanta
