    (Maybe) Strange Issue when connecting appletv to BV 7-32

    Hi everybody.

     I have an appletv connected to my Beovision 7-32 MkII using an HDMI to DVI and analog sound cables. Now, my dealer has updated my stb software so it now includes appleTV. This means that i am able to control appleTV using my Beo4 and it works, at least i can hear it works. The problem is i used to have the connectiontype set to PC, this provided me with picture and sound. However it is not possible to configure the STB controller in PC. SO my dealer told me to use DTV instead, and everything works EXCEPT the picture. I get absolutly no picture but can hear the menueswitching on appleTV. Does anyone know why this is? If i switch back to PC everything is fine again. I read earlier that someone had it working on a BV7-32 but maybe this was an MKIII. Can anybody help me please? Think i might have read in the user manual page 33(at least so in the danish version) that it is only possible to connect digital video if the tv supports HD. Mine does not yet. Maybe this is the issue?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Use Component connections instead. =]

    The DVI input that you are using does not carry sound. You would have to funnel that through one of the normal AV connections.

    If your TV is HD ready, 

     

    Lets say you have DTV linked to AV2. There should be an entry HDTV uunder connection AV2  where you can switch to the DVI port. Funnel then the sound through AV2 and the picture through DVI.

     

    otherwise I agree its off to component connnection.

    Ehlerz,

     

    can you tell me which version of the STB controller software you now have?   btw. is AppleTV officially supported by this software upgrade?

    Hi

    No, i actually dont know the version but had the STB software updated on both my BV 7 and my BC 6. It is a Apple remote stb controller so it works flawless with apple TV. Ask your dealer for the upgrade, mine did not charge anything but this ofcause depends on your dealer relationship.
