    Connecting an Iphone directly to a Beovision 7-40 Mk3

    Hi there

    I just wondered if i could connect this directly to the back of my 7-40 Mk3 and play music through it direct from my IPhone.

    Below is an Ebay link to show type of connector found so far..

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Chris,

    no, it is only to connect your IPhone to a Beosound, p.e. Beosound 9000. If you have already an original (white) Apple IPod dock, you only need the cable.

    If you want to connect your IPhone to your Beovision 7-40, you need this one:

    So you can also watch your photos or videos from your IPhone on your Beovision.

    Regards

    Räuber

    Thanks for that.

    Do i get an Encore, do i just connect my phone to the TV, do i get a Zeppelin with Airplay thus bypassing my wonderful speaker system?

    What i want is a complete Music and Video player, so i don't spend any more money on CD's and Blu Ray DVD's. If i could download top quality music AND video through the Beosound 5, i'd get one in a shot. As it is i already have a music player, and that can stream radio aswell! Dilema

    Connect an Apple TV to your Beovision and you can stream music AND videos from your Iphone via Airplay to your Beovision. No cables needed, and also no Encore.

    I have that solution. Works really well, using the Beo4 to command the apple TV. I also stream video and music from a NAS, over my WLAN, to the Apple TV.

    With iOS 5, you'll be able to use an Apple TV to wirelessly play audio, video and even FaceTime video calls through your TV.

    So, buy a cheap Apple TV, connect using HDMI, wait for iOS 5 and you'll be able to show content without any additional cables.

    You can already now stream audio and video to Apple TV, from an iOS device. Was not aware of Facetime with Airplay in iOS5.

    I have the Beta 3 of iOS5 on my iPhone so i have to  try out Facetime on my Beovision 10 tonight :-)

    A neat modern solution, and not £3,500 to boot.

    in my opinion possible. if you have a ipod dock and/or the right ipod to rca cable, connect it to the AV6. 

    program the connection (f.e. DVD2) and start AV DVD2
