Still, the BeoTech area on Beoworld has a description of a way to use the Beovision 4 as a stand-alone tv using a component cable to vga adaptor cable and using a B&O "hockey puck" IR receiver attached directly to the IR input on the back of the BV4. It does sound, however, that it might need non-B&O IR codes to

Has anyone had any experience using a Beovision 4 without a Beosystem? I'd like to connect an Apple TV directly to a Beovision 4 via a component to 15-pin D-Sub cable.
