Unfortunately no soldering skills here... Mono jacket means both signals are sent to both boxes, but the box not understanding the signals won't react. So that would not be an issue, right? But I probably miss something here... Could I use a mono ir blaster (one ir at the end, available from lots of companies) to control one STB? This should be

What center speaker did/do you have? One or two Beolab 4000? Beolab 7.1/7.2? I am setting up a BV 4-42 (kind of) plus 2 Beolab 4500 and I am hoping this might be sufficient.... Thanks Ralf

(r), did you try this? Ralf

I did it ... so far. Philips Brilliance 109P Monitor picked up for 5 Euro. Connected the gender changer on the serial, installed the paperclip. First: nothing.... lot of tries etc... Then read through the service manual on this site - and found out that pin 2 and 3 are counted a little different than, let's say, usually. So Beosystem 2 works connected

The reference guide says: "If you have only one set of speakers, set ‘Front’ to ‘None’ – NOT to your speaker type!" Page 14. Did you check this? Ralf

Martin, I need to get a CRT Monitor hooked up first (to see the menus....), then use a paper-clip to connect pin 2 + 3 on the rs 232 (is this possible? Maybe using a gender changer?) to trick the BS2. What CRT Monitor do you have? Any model nr. available? Can you confirm the paper-clip method? Thanks! Ralf

Martin, maybe it was used in a link system, so you need to reconfigure it to video option 1? Ralf

Martin, how did you proceed? I got a Beosystem 2 MKIII (+IR Eye) a few days ago and for now I have no idea what panel to get.... (BV 4-42 out of reach ;-)) A Panasonic one (Prof. Display) is one that I can afford, but I read something about changing BITS (?) in the service menu? There has to be someone who managed to get everything working - I would

[quote user="bdm01"] I have a small 22" LCD panel that will work with this and allows you to go to the setup menu's and even then display all the video sources. [/quote] Richard, what is the exact model/type nr. of the lcd screen? I got a Beosystem 2 MKIII and now I am trying to integrate it.... Using a Pioneer PDP-LX5090H display

It is only a matter of resolution.... VGA using 1.920 x 1.080 (FULL HD) is no problem. Ralf
