I have a BC2 connected to an Avant with a Set Top Box and would like to buy and connect a projector. How do I connect the Avant, STB and projector to the Socket Box? How can I project both DVD's through BC2 and TV using the Avant's tuner and/or STB. I would lkie to be able to use the Avant as a TV when not watching movies but use the projector when I want. I know there are other inputs and outputs on the BC2 Socket Box but am not sure what to use.I would appreciate some advice.Patrick

Hello Patrick,

I suppose you have free the Decoder scart. Then, you need to send out composite video from Decoder scart to the projector. When you select AV-DVD, AV-TV, AV-video source... the Avant screen will turn off, but will send the video to projector. I have a similar setup and it's great.

The Beo5 is excellent for this.

My setup:

BV3:

- AV = BC2

- V.Tape = V.Mem = HDR2 with Nokia 110T

- Decoder = Connected a scart switch = Macbook and Playstation 3. From the scart switch go out a video composite to projector.

- Camcorder = Apple Dock for ipod.

- Coax 1 = BC2

- Coax 2 = Playstation 3 throught adaptor

Surround sound: BL8000+BL2+BL3

Projector Panasonic AX200

- Composite Video = recive the BV3 video (TV, HDR2, BC2,..)

- HDMI 1 =  Playstation 3.

Beo5 = To control Light (3 LC2), Projector Screen (1LC2+rele),  and Panasonic projector. The xml to control the Panasonic projector and Apple remote is available in the download site of Beoworld.

One button turn on the Beoliving: Light, Screen, AV-BV3, Projector,... Great!

I hope my setup can help you and gives you some idea.

 

Thank you for the information
