Hello do-it-yourselfer,

my actual DD 5.1 setup consists of BV3-32 with Beolab 5000 and CX100 (MCLP driven) as rears. The BV3-32 acts as center.

I am playing with the thought to strip an Avant or BV3 in order to use it only as control box for B&O integration and to keep the 5.1 availibility.

Here is a project in the forum dealing with combination of a 50" flatpanel and an Avant. So obviously there are possibilities.

Who knows if such a stripped Beovision would be operatable without tube. I would put the sound coming out of the cable TV receiver into this Beovision rest and via HDMI/Scart I would feed the flatpanel. Of course I will loose the setting possibilities of the Beovision because there won't be any access to the menu.

2nd issue is the center speaker. Maybe I could use a Beolab 7.1, which brings me to the problem connecting it to the Beovision internals.

Just brainstorming....

If anybody could spend its 50 cents...

Thank you

Take a look at this thread!

I'd use the speakers and amplifiers in the Avant if possible - remember the BV5 is really an Avant with a flat screen.

Yes, I am aware. But my feeling is, that the video signal processing on acual LCD panels is much better than the Beosystem 2. I don't see any stumbling blocks, don't I?

Agree with that - the video processing on the BV5 is the archaic bit really. I don't see why you couldn't feed the pre-amp out to the Avant power amplifiers though. Need a bit of working out the connections but you sound well up to this!
