Unfortunately none of the advice given regarding European sets will be relevant to a North American MX. The good news is that we have *both* the Service and the regular manuals available for silver/gold members. The Service Guide is currently mis-filed under the European MX5000, but I'll see if Van can fix that for us. The User Guide should be online as well, if it isn't I'll have it uploaded...

I don't know if this is the same for US-models, but on the European models you can activate/deactivate s-video by pressing [SHIFT] [9]

Well...do you need to tell your dvd player to send the video thru s-video? I'm pretty well tapped for suggestions! Keep trying though.

OK!, Thanks!

I Did like you said. I can get picture and some sound on SHIFT CD now, but only on RCA video cable. S-video still doesn't work . Audio input sensitivity is very low so I can hear only wisper like dialogs (not crucial ,I can and use separate amp for front speakers.)

OK...for the menu, I use set up code 4, press play, then scroll to find vtape, press play, and then scroll to find CDV, press play. Then it asks if you accept the changes press play.

Give it go and see!

Guy , Thank you

Somehow the S-video is not self detecting on my MX5000 and Sound on TV's Rca also doesn't work after SHIFT , CD press. Did you have to set it up in "Connections " menu ?

Good news about those caps, although (since I'm not B&O diehard ;) for $450 I'd rather buy a nice LCD . But the plus is that this set is sooo heavy that I don't have to woory about theft at all.

I use a non-B&O DVD player on my MX5000. To access it with my Beolink 1000 remote I first press SHIFT, and then press CD. Not at the same time. I have the dvd plugged into the rca input for the sound, and an s-video for the video. The s-video is self detecting on this tv.

As for the lines...this is exactly what mine was doing on both VTAPE and DVD and the TV. It was only capacitors. After I brought it to the local B&O repair depot, it came back with an image as clean and clear as new, really quite shockingly so! Wasn't cheap (450 canadian), but I fiqure I'll use the tv for years until the caps wear out again.

Manuals are not available here for the US version, however there is a 15 page document written by somebody who exchanged all the capacitors. it;s only for gold silver though.

You may just give B&O a call or shoot them an email through their website. they might have one for you.

No ,its a Sony DVD. I programmed it on AV2 input (which are RCA in -out) and I'm able to watch movies. Only those distorted horizontal lines (stretched ) need to be addresed .

Is the manual for this version (with RCA's) is available ??

Regards, L

Also if anybody have list of Electrolytic caps in the TV on hand that would be neat ;0)

TIA

I think the AV would expect the signal from scart since its designed for use with the Beocord VHS.

http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=931

see specs.

Are there any other sources in that menu?

You could also try going after a scart cable, you cant get them in stores but there are plenty on ebay. Give it a few days, we have the knowledge here I am sure.

Actually, if you search here you will find that member Burantek got it to work some how. Maybe just shoot him a PM.

Alright , I'm half successful with this . I didn't notice a small print on the bottom under a row of RCA inputs outputs . It is an AV2 input and I was able to program VCR on this and it sort of work when I push VCR buttom (but not always -remote must be old ) Bitter part is the picture is a little distorted along horizontal lines and there are some smudges on the lines. Probably more capacitors about to expire. I may have to buy service manual after all. Regards, L

Yes there is a menu button with "connections" option but it only shows the connection to scart inputs not to RCA inputs . AV button should allow to connect RCA's but it doesn't do anything. Gotta love that set ;0)

jk1002 — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:15:42 GMT

is there a menu button on the remote? That shold bring you into setup options somehow. with later B&O you typically have to assign the input port to the source.
