Re: Bv7 bluray problem

BEOCET:

Maybe the new software update for blu-ray in BeoVison 7 will solve the problem.

New firmware: 110324 (relased 27/4)

The new firmware will help the blu-ray playability with some titles:

- “Inglorious Basterds”

- “OSS 177”

- “Robin Hood BD”

- Disney Blu-ray and DVD

- Replay of “Avatar” may give a warning message about software update.

- Audio interference when playing “Toy Story 2” and “Lords of the Rings Trilogy”

- Intermittent picture freeze seen on “Sherlock Homes” and “Toy Story”

The update is possible with a CD-ROM with the firmware. Contact your dealer if you need the update with CD-ROM.

You can also update with ethernet-cable connected:

1. Before you switch on the TV, insert the Ethernet cable in the TV.

2. TV must be in standby, no disc in the loader. Press /DVD/, wait until 'NO DISC' is displayed on the screen and make sure the loader is closed.

3. Enter the Setup menu on your Beo5 by pressing /DVD setup/ (if you use a Beo4 press /YELLOW/ and then /8/).

4. Select 'ADVANCED' and press /GO/.

5. Select 'SOFTWARE UPDATE'. The Blu-ray player now automatically searches for new software, and the new software will be displayed on the screen.

6. Press /GREEN/ on Beo5 to start the software update (If you use a Beo4 press /GREEN/ twice) and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

This worked for me. Couldn't play Tron Legacy, after update it works fine.

Yeah I love old houses but they are so much work. All of my music is on iTunes but I buy it all from amazon it's loads cheaper, never got films I mostly refuse to watch anything SD now. Sky has moved most of it's hd channels to replace the SD ones. Funny I'm not big into tvonly a few shows but they ust be hd if I do watch them. I also sent you a pm. I don't buy films iTunes they are cheaper at blockbusters and the atv2 is only 720p I believe.

Wow Seanie, I love the 3 stair case design too! Lovely! Wow 7-55 that is large! ive seen one in B&O of Hampstead and yep, with a Blu ray the picture was simply outstanding! Must admit recently all of the channels ive been recording on Sky HD have been the HD ones. So do you keep all of your music in iTunes? Do u ever buy films in SD/HD from iTunes? What is your view on pic/sound quality from them? Yep, BV10 is my perfect TV. I must admit that I probably watch television for a max of 5 hours a week but when I do, id like top quality. I have a bad habit of Sky+ing things and never watching them :)

Apple tv is amazing i prefer the first one as if i go to a friends i can take it there and my musci goes with me. the new (black) apple tv does not allow this.

The Apple TV Generation 2 (black puck) supports AirPlay ... so as long as you have music sources (e.g. my iPad) that support AirPlay you still have that portability you desire ... in fact in one more so, no hard drive to worry about getting damaged !

I love the look of the BV10 but without the B-System3 i could not use the projector functionality etc, this was the only way i could afford the 100" screen. I wish i could buy a 7-55 maybe in a few years time. London is full of lovely old houses, what i love is when you go up the stairs you have three levels to the landing its different. Apple tv is amazing i prefer the first one as if i go to a friends i can take it there and my musci goes with me. the new (black) apple tv does not allow this. Orange will be different.

Wo Seanie, sounds absolutely fantastic! I love character houses like that! They have so much potential! Bet your friends are impressed with the BV7!!! I want Apple TV next as im totally iTunes these days! Trying to save for a BV10 with orange speaker grille but its not easy :)

OMG that's not cool. Is that why is hasn't really caught on as a recording medium say in laptops etc? I thought DVDs were bad enough with skipping etc (DVD1 owner :) ) I like the look of the Samsung players and the fact they often go with B&O however whenever I read magazine reviews, they always fall way behind Sony & Panasonic in terms of picture quality - what's your views guys?

Hey Guys maybe a daft question but why is Blu Ray so confusing with playback issues?

It's a very complex standard and all implementations are bound to have some bugs which will only surface when a content provider exercises some new feature.

Hi all Thanks for all of your quick replies. I will try and update my bluray software via ethernet today. i do know that my backend firewarm is not correct for the build level my tv has as it did not take last time. I will attempt an update today if that does not work i will try and get my local to pop over and update the firmware for me and see how we get on. Thanks
