Oops - I missed it too. Must set my alarm clock a day earlier, next Christmas. Mark

Are you sure the AV5 plays VCDs? I thought it plays only audio CDs. I have never come across a region locked VCD, so this is unlikely ot be the problem. CD players conform to "books" of various colours. If the AV5 CD player does not support the VCD book (I think that's the green one) it will not decode VCDs. Mark

Herwin, I've tried to take a copy of your kpc2 repository, but can't easily access the files. The web cvs interface shows the files, but the Summary Page does not have the usual Big Green Button, and the Files page shows nothing. I've tried using the suggested CVS command: $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@kpc2.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/kpc2

But why? Mark

Thank you Chris - sorry to doubt you - I just find it hard to understand why the BeoPort should be half-baked. If it can access the Avant in Option 6, and serve to the Avant in Option 2, then surely it has the capability to do the whole job! Can you explain how all this works? As far as I understood it, each Masterlink network could have at most one

Interesting. I'm also on Windows XP+SP2, but with BeoPort 5.03.00.0147 (the latest). However, Chris did comment about needing an Audio Master other than the BeoPort in order to access the TV services. This would coincide with your configuration. Of course it would also suggest both that the BeoPort is only a partial Audio Master and that an Audio

Thank you for the idea, Andy. I gave a Repair a try, but it seems to have made no difference. I've now tried the BeoPort against two Avants (both curved screen) and in each case, the Avant can access the N.MUSIC and CD on the PC, but the BeoPort does not provide any TV sources under Configure->Sources. BeoPort and Avant were both set to Option

The video sources do not appear on Setup->Sources. All that I find there are the original four BeoPort sources - N.MUSIC, N.RADIO, PC CD, PHOTO. Do I have to do someting to tell the Avant that it is the Video Master, rether than a mere slave? Mark

I had both Avant and BeoPort set to Option 2, and the BoPort set to "Main PC". The Avant could access the BeoPort sources, so assume this means that the BeoPort was acting as an Audio Master. However, it doesn't give me an AV button on the screen :( I can't see a useful feature like this being withdrawn, so I assume it's a configuration

I have connected an Avant and BeoPort by MasterLink. Using a Beo4 from the Avant, I can access the N.MUSIC, CD and VCD on the BeoPort PC. However, I would like to access Avant audio from the BeoPort. As far as I can tell, this is only possible if I add a TV tuner card to the PC! I want the audio from the Avant, because it has an STB-C and satellite
