How do you switch autodetect off - can't find anywhere in the menus - the Configuration menu is blank.

Bumping this thread up. Has anybody successfully used a B&O DVI card to get a Panasonic commercial plasma display to work with auto-contrast?

Two work arounds

1. Switch Autodetection off and select BV4-50 D9 as display

2. If you have a Beo 5 Remote there is a download which can easily be added to your Beo 5 remote by your dealer on Beoworld which allows control of on and off switching of Panasonic Plasmas

Was this ever solved? I have a similar screen (42PH10) and was hoping to use it when I eventually save the cash to buy a BS3.

I just got the 4.17 update and the box still drives my Panasonic TH50-HD7E no problem.

i haven't only the sofware for the upgrade of pdpd7

i don't think that it is a B&O software available for the other pdp

I'd prefer not to do this though, as the card is, I'm sure, a bit pricey.

$380USD but as far as I know there isn't a difference between the B&O one and the Panasonic card for about the same price.

We also have the same problem with a client here and we're pretty baffled. Beyond losing control via RS-232 it seems that every time the serial cable is even plugged into the panel it shorts the entire thing out. If the RS-232 is plugged in the Panel's OSD ceases to show up using the Panasonic remote. We figured that obviously since the 232 isn't working we'd go back to using the IR control, but unfortunately we weren't even able to get control back with the use of IR. Should turning off the autodetect of the panel affect IR control or would that only be relavent for RS-232 control?

Puts my mind a bit at ease at least knowing that someone else has bumped into a similar problem and there may be a solution somewhere in sight!

MADSYSTEMES:
off course but i think that the situation is like that.
You must have a B&O screen if you want all the function

The B&O BV4 plasma screen actually is a Panasonic screen. You can even get access to the Panasonic software over the service menu. When I replaced my Beosystem 1 by a Beosystem 3 my BV4 50" plasma had to receive an additional software upgrade.

We found a solution for the on/off control of pdp

we control the rs232 with the ir input

Last Summer, a dealer told me that B&O offered a DVI card that might give Panasonics the identity of a BV4, which I was considering to get auto-contrast working. I'm wondering if this would fix the current issue. I'd prefer not to do this though, as the card is, I'm sure, a bit pricey.

My dealer is currently looking into solutions. I'll keep you posted.

yes the pdp is identified by the dvi.

i think if you change the dvi input socket you will have the same problem.

remmember when we had to update the PDP D7 (only VGA) monting dvi kit, we had to update two hex files contained in hardware.
