Anders, you will find user- and service manuals on the product page. Search Beosound music systems.

Did you hear anything about a MK II ??

as I said below, the 2 l+r audio ports are used by a Wii and I also do not know where to put the caqles in the beosound 5 as it seems to be a singe sound plu only called 'line out'. Where would it go into the 7-40 mayba a scart port?

How can I convert?

Google "DVI to HDMI converter" and you'll see.

OKF:
Baut it does not solve the sound Problem I guess.

You just get the sound through an analog cable. Then you configure the sound input in the menu of the TV.

I have an MK1 so no HDMI just normal DVI I Port....

You can convert from DVI to HDMI. Converters are quite cheap. You still need to get the sound with separate connection.

Well I thought HMDI 1.9xx, 2.5xx, then 6.7xx were the future proof (non-backward compatable) connection standards that everyone harped on about and demanded to have in every B&O product!

When are we all going to realise most of this stuff is gimmick for the far-Eastern electronic companies to sell us the same stuff.

No-doubt DisplayPort will be another compatability nightmare (I know what it promises - but so did HMDI) and digital rights management censorship.

May it not last long.

Actually both HDMI and DisplayPort support sound (DVI does not) HDMI already appears as a technology that'll be phased out mid-term.

The PCG is not really that comfortable and it does not include the BS5

How is sound transported from BS5 respectively the BS5 main Box, just by ML? Or is it the Line (one plug?) out and where does line out go to into the BV7-40?

Re: Beosound 5 specs

DVI does not transport sound, so you will have to connect the sound connection using a separate cable can configure it in the menu.

Only HDMI has sound.

I suggest now that you are a member that you run the PCG every time you connect something as it will tell you how to connect it the best.
