I have recently bought a mx4000 tv and a 2300 hifi, I havent got speakers for my hi-fi yet and was wondering the best way to connect my hi-fi so I can use it through my mx4000 tv speaker ?

a data-link cable

You also need to change the option settings. I believe the TV should be set to option 2 and the 2300 to option 0. Correct, anyone?

Many thanks I have ordered lead now! Not to sure what you mean changing settings?I am new to this B and O !!

yeap

The changes you need to make will be done once you have the wire. Which remote do you have and we can give you a detailed instruction list? Quite simple though!

I have the  BEO4 remote

OK, When the lead arrives, you need to option programme the products to tell them how they are set up. As previously stated the TV needs to be in "option 1" and the audio in "Option 0".

Option programming with a Beo4 is easy. The first step is to hold down the stnad by button and press "list". The display in the remote willcjange to "ADD?". Press the list button until the display shows "OPTION?" then press "GO". The display will now flash "V.OPT". Point the remote at the TV and press the number 2 button. The red LED on the TV will blink once to confirm that it has accepted the command.

Now to do the audio system. Stand by a dn list together. Press list to get back to "OPTION?" press "GO" to get "V.OPT" flashing, this time press "LIST" to change the display to "A.OPT". Now press the "0" button. The recd LED on the audio will flash to confirm the command has been accepted.

You have now option programmed the TV to respond to video & audio commands and switched off the remote sensor in the audio system.

You can now operate all functions via the remote sensor built into the TV.

Ooops just read my post and spotted a glaring mistake. The TV needs to be in OPTION2, sorry.

Many Thanks for your help !The sound is quite good from the mx4000 do you think it will sound better when connected to 2300? I currently have tv connected to dvd which plays cds,when I connect hifi will it sound same or better ?

Unless you have a very crappy DVD, I guess it will be nothing you will spot in a blind test.

The advantage is the B&O feeling with one remote, and loading and watching CDs.

The settings will give the TV the control over the HiFi as all commands go through the MX. I like when my old LX (1991), controls any of my newer B&O.
