So, I was gifted a Blu ray player and tried hooking it up to the tv.  I couldn't fiqure out what I need to do to the tv or remote to see the picture? 

Any thoughts?

Doesn't your BV6-26 have a DVI input?

If so, a HDMI-DVI cable will do the job.

... if you prefer silent films

Right...that's what I thought.  So I guess the other alternative is the component plus audio plugs that are in the back.  Any other ideas?

Just try the Camcorder input.

It senses probably video on the DVI connector when not on the videocomposite (camcorder-video).

Quote from the manual:

PC INPUT    DVI-D connector/audio L-R in 0,2-2V RMS >= 10Kohms

... if TV is HD-Ready! 

Also the Y-Pb-Pr component (3x RCA/phono) are not active before HD ready update!

Without HD-Ready upgrade of your 6-26 you can only use a SCART or the yellow "Composite"
RCA of your Camera input + L/R audio in SD

An upgrade with HD-Ready-Kit will be necessary to implement HDCP and enabling
the DVI input to handle other sources than (not HDCP-protected) PC signals. 

The 4 digit Type # of your TV tells if it's a Mk1 or Mk2 version of the BV 6-26.
(You'll find it by removing the speaker cover)

This is what I've tried up to now, thanks to your suggestions.  I pulled the computer DVI cable out and tried the component cables, didn't work.  I believe it is a mark 2 version because of the component inputs.

The Blu-ray player works just fine when hooked up with composite cables, but I'm guessing I'm not getting the better resoulution that Blu-ray has to offer.

I am going out today and picking up a HDMI to DVI connector that I will try using with two audio rca.  This is so frustrating, why make a great tv with great resoulution specs, but no way to attain them?

I'm also wondering if a scart to component (with audio)exists?  Would it work with it?  I once bought one for my MX 7000 (scart to composite) and it just didn't work.  I'm wondering if B&O uses non standard pin locations in the scarts?

BV6-26 has been introduced 2nd half of 2004!
2004 only PC graphics delivered real HD pictures, a DVI-I input for PC use was the right choice those days! 
Connect your computer via DVI<>DVI od DVI<>VGA cable and enjoy your pictures ...   

SORRY, but HDCP is MANDATORY for reproducing copy protected HD content from sources like
BD, HD-SAT receiver, HD-CABLE receiver, APPLE-TV, TViX, Playstation ...

You'll have to upgrade your TV (HD-Ready-Kit) if you want to use either 
- COMPONENT 3x RCA-Phono for video + 2x RCA for audio or
- DVI for video + 2x RCA for audio

This is ABSOLUTELY NO DIY JOB and will require some SW updates too!
- contact your B&O dealer and the B&O Service Center.

PS: I've already mentioned this in my previous post - 
      the Y-Pb-Pr COMPONENT (3x RCA/phono) will NOT be ACTIVE without HD ready update!

 

I have just called the tech guy and left a message.  The fellow that answered the phone wasn't sure if the module would still be available!  Wow technology sure does move fast!

Thanks for walking me thru this.

Guy

HD-ready-kit type 4371 can be used for BV6-26 Mk 1+2 and should still be available.

(a friend of mine had his 6-26 upgraded a few month ago and the kit had to be ordered)

So finally, video over DVI and sound through RCA on the Cam works, with the minor detail of having a hd-ready kit

You seem to know it.

So next question: What happens if you DO have a copy write protected BR disk/contents?

Do you think you still have the full resolution on the component leads?
