    Can't turn off Film Mode

    Just picked up a demo Beosystem 1 from my dealer and was setting it up.  Although a pretty cool trick, I'm anxious to defeat the Film Mode for my DVD viewing as recently discussed in the forum.  I've cautiously entered into the service menu but nothing changes when I switch "Film Mode" to the off setting  ( yes I can discern the difference).  I thought you might have to restart the Beosystem for changes to take effect or something but after seeing that other service menu moniter adjustments are immediate I'm confused.  It's obvious that the menu is intended to let you switch back and forth for visual confirmation before hitting "Go."  

    I've got software 5.0.  Is there any reason that it might not be responsive in this latest version?  The only other consideration is that I have not "coded" the Beosystem for my plasma ( on order) and am just viewing it on a generic LCD with the default output settings while setting up Master Link etc.   Do I have a bum unit?
    Thanks,

    Had a quick look at the service manual and I can't see any reason for this I am afraid. I would ask your dealer for some ideas as he can get his hands on the same model.

    UPDATE Re: Can't turn off Film Mode

    I've tried two units so far (North American version) from my dealer and both behave the same.  The "Film Mode" in the service menu still does not do anything as far as the "motion compensated de-interlacing" goes.  My dealer can't confirm since they apparently have updated all thier televisions to DVI inputs and can't hook the BS1 to anything.  
        However, I had a stroke of luck about an hour before sending back the second demo unit.  I found that if I use a progressive signal from the DVD player it defeats the effect.  Being that the effect uses interlacing information I can see the logic there.  
       So the the good news is I can have it on and off depending on the input source without having to manually switch.  The bad news is I've decided to not upgrade to the BS3.  This of course would of been overkill for this veiwing area anyway and now I can afford another link room.
