    Bang & Olufsen BeoSystem 1 Type 8480

    Is it possible to coneect to this system the more recent plasma or lcd.

    The unit does not have the HDMI out or input. Hoever, seems to have VGA - so can we use a HDMI/VGA converter to connect to a HDMI TV

    Will this converter take away the quality?

    Hoping to get a used one and connect to my Panasonic Vierra 50 inch Plasma. Is it worth while to do this or get the upgraded BS2 or 3

     

    Thanks

    I use my BS1 for audio switching only.  I have the VGA out connected to my TV (it has a VGA input but I can't imagine the converter would be a problem) for menu access only.  The BS1 only has one hi-def input so you will be very limited there.  It is a very good albeit big audio switcher.  The BS2 is not an upgrade and you won't find it in the USA.  The BS3 is 12 times the cost of a used BS1.  Your choice.

    Don't forget that you can use the zektor switch for your multiple HD signal switching and still route everything through the BS1. Although I upgraded to the BS3 in my main room I still have the BS1 based Avant and Zektor working hard upstairs for play room with no issues. I have even heard an "expert" say the BS1 is superior in it's sound quality due the type of circuitry used.
