You cannot. This seems to be an oversight with the current version of the BM5 software. The 'dim' picture contrast option controlled via the Picture menu on the BM5 is also deactivated. The only way to disable the picture on the BV4 screen is to unplug the VGA cable from your BS3. By reading the above, it seems that is already the case with

Returning to the first impressions on the BeoSound / BeoMaster 5 combo package... Beomaster 5 seems to be a revamped Beomedia (which has twice the memory and CPU power and an updated Windows XP embedded platform - ie. it now has SP2).
