I have an AV7000 unused in my basement. If you can't fix yours, perhaps I could sell you mine for cheap. It's one of the original models that doesn't control DVD players, but at the least you could use the parts of your old one up upgrade mine. Let me know if you're interested. -- Paul

Panasonic Blu-Ray owners, How do you have your Beo5 configured? I've got Panasonic Blu-Ray selected as the device on my BeoSystem 3, but have no ability to skip chapters or to fast forward/rewind, which would ideally be controlled by the outer ring of mechanical buttons on the Beo5. Also, has anyone managed to get the Beo5 to support the PIP options

Can't you simply replace the BV4 plasma display with the Pioneer plasma but still keep the BeoSystem 3 processor? I'm pretty sure the BS3 can work with Pioneer displays, including the on/off signal via infrared. -- Paul

I just had my BS3 (US) upgraded from 4.17 to 5.0 and thought it's time for a thread. It's been working fine so far. One new thing that shows up on some sound setup menus is "Adaptive Sound Technology", or AST. Anyone have the story on that? It's marked as disabled. I'm guessing that's the feature that's responsible

Foxtrott: Hi beopaul! Just a thought: When you connected the Pentas to the BS3 did you change the switch on the Penta from "Audio" to "Video"? On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if there where display-issues when combining Pentas to newer equipement. For personal experience I already know two "display-bugs" when

Razlaw: It seems to me that the question is: What does the BS3/BV7MKIII/BV9 do with an uncompressed multichannel 24 bit 192kHz signal from a Blu-Ray player sent via HDMI? Is it altered or downconverted in any way? And the same for 96kHz and 48kHz. There may be a second part of the question also, which would be if a track is encoded in Dolby TrueHD or

355f: 'There could be handshake issues (HDCP) which may result in down conversion'- if the BS3 was 1.3 compliant there would not be handshake issues with a so equipped player. In theory, any version of HDMI should have no HDCP issues. In practice, I don't think 1.3 would guarantee issue-free HDCP, but it might help. A list of "certified"

martin01: Moxxey: You still dont understand the "thing" with PCM and multichannel pcm, even after 216 posts. I am impressed!. Alright, Multichannel PCM is NOT a track on BR-title. It is a digital data-stream from the BR-player to the receiver (BS3). This Multichannel PCM-datastream is already decoded in the player. So you compare apples with

355f: ... Its an easy question that any brand can answer. Does the BS3 output DTS MA and TRUE HD and the new audio codecs without downconversion. I have not had an answer- see my previous link! 355f, I think we should stop talking about DTS MA and TRUE HD. They're only relevant to a receiver when the player is sending bitstream, which we know the
