But for sound what do I do? I obviously go from the headphone jack on the mac (either a mini headphone jack or optical cable. Where do i plug this into the BV8-40 I don't think there is anywhere to plug this audio.

I am trying to connect a mac powerbook to my Beovision 8-40 and am not sure which connection to make. Do I use some sort of HDMI conversion cable that will plug into the DVI output on the mac? I obviously want the best picture and suspect there is a beter connection thatn the PC one on the BV8. Do such conversion cords exist? I guess they would need

I have just ordered a BV8 40 and want to connect a mac mini to it rather than apple tv. Do the IR blasters work with Mac mini? I was told they work with Apple TV but not the mini. I thought probably the IR codes were the same for all Apple products as the Apple remote seems to work with all the products. Will the Beo4 operate the Mac mini? Also why

I prefer the white to the black but my dealer is telling me it will not be available - due to some problem with the cleaning I think. I would be interested to see if anyone has seen a Beovision 8-40 in white in a showroom or has purchasd one. paddy2042

I am interested in buying the new Beovision 8-40 and am wondering if anyone has any strong opinions for or against. It seems very good value for money and also seems to have all the options that the smaller models do not.

Thank you for the information Patrick

RussR: I have not seen anything yet which leads me to believe that you could not have both in the system at once. Depending on details of the BeoSound 1, and just where precisely the PowerLink outputs are, I should think they will play well together. Of more concern, at the moment, is wether you will want both. I have had my 9000 since January of '97

How did you connect Apple TV to your Avant? I have a 28" VCR Avant and would love to connect Apple TV to it but was told it could not be done. I would love your advice.
