Hello, I bought a HD Panasonic plasma to replace the SD one in the Beovision 5. It works, although it is not displaying HD. Could this be because the vga pc cable used to carry the signal is not HD capable? It is connected the same as the SD panel with the serial and pc cables. I am using a video converter for the hdmi/scart connection on the rear side. Please let me know your thoughts or ideas. Thank you.
Don't you need a function to handle HDCP, too? ie. that's normally part of the HDMI cable functionality.

So the computer unit inside the beovision is screwing with the signal.
The computer unit is essentially obsolete in that it needs reprogramming just to accept HD. Is there no easy solution to getting the HD to display?
Hi 9hundred, did you ever get this to work? im thinking of doing the same.

The beosystem 2 inside the Bv5 is not an HD processor . You can’t route a high def video signal through it.
you have to use the new tv ‘s hdmi inputs and then route the new tv into the old Bv5 I puts as an external source effectively to get the sound output
Rather than messing with all the outdated computer components, i removed them. After plenty of headache and little response from this forum, I figured out the best way! ...Feed the hdmi signal into a passthrough box for the audio to output to an amp to power the the speakers.
Well Kallasr gave you the answer... software update on BS2 to allow DVI bypass. The unit may have already had it done. I still have a Beosystem 2 (in fact I have a full set apart from the Beosystem 1 which wasn’t sold in the UK) I had the upgrade done to it years ago (in fact I recall it was a full unit swap)
