hello!

switching on the BV9 on the screen appears SAFE MODE. what does this mean and how can i make it disappear?

thank you

 You cant get the BV9 out of safe mode once it is in it unless you put it to standby. To avoid it going into safe mode:-

I take it you have bv9 with 1080p panel. I get this with my BS3 BV4-50 (1080p panel).

You get this problem if you bring on the system by using a source which is outputing 1080i, so in my case V-AUX brings on a sky hd box set to 1080i output.

There is only a work arround to this problem at the moment I believe.

What I do is press DTV to bring on the system with an SD source then press V-AUX to bring on the 1080p source.

Another way of doing it is to set your hd source to 720p (but this is not a good option if you have the 1080 panel).

I imagine there will be a BS3 software fix to fix this at some point.

 Cheers

thank you for your reply peter,

but this isn't a problem of 1080i, actually  i'm using a sky+ box- no hd

i will try later to fix it

I had the same, but i fixed it. Just have to remember how I did it. I´ll come back 

hello,

i've got still the same problem, but now sometimes the screen shows SAFE MODE and sometimes not!

but i didn't change anything, so what could be the problem?

by the way, is there any possibility to have less output of the ALT in the center? i've got a pair of bl6000 as front and a pair of bl2500 as rear speakers and they are to weak to handle the mid frequencies of the center speaker, so i don't like the sound at all, especially during dialogs in movies. i know , you will say to buy a couple of bl 9(and i would like..) but at the moment i have to fill my piggybank again,

so if there is any possibility please let me know

thank you

Hello,

I had the same problem, but with a non beo panel. I changed under MENU - Options - Connections - Display mode - since this moment there was no more problem with "save mode"

 ciao cleo

Regarding the center channel, I believe this is the reference channel, you need to calibrate the other channels louder to address this. ie go to menu, options, sound, sound setup, speaker level, and adjust the levels up. You may also want to check the speaker distances are set up properly.

As I said in my other post about safe mode it is for sure  to do with which source you bring the system on with. There may be other things that also cause safe mode I dont know.

I find that if I press either TV or DTV first, then List V-Aux I never get safe mode, and beo customer services advised this is the current work around to the 1080i prob. You might want to look at which ways you are switching on the system and state in a post what you are doing.

I hope this helps.

Peter
