Hi Guys !
I've buy today a beautifull V1, just installed it !
But I see that I don't have the BEO4 with it !!!
I have a old one, without the navigation menu, pleaaaaaase tell me that there's somewhere a magic button so I can use my V1 :'(((
I can start it and introduce the pin but can't "accept" ....
And my dealer is closed untill tuesday !
I think I'm gonna kill'em
Thanks for your help !
I've also a beolink 1000 ;)
I think i'm gonna cry all weekend
On the Beoplay website it says for the V1
IN THE BOX = Beoplay V1, Beo4 Remote, Low floor stand, Manual.
So hopefully you should get that Beo4 included in the price when you go back to the store!
Does pressing "GO" enter the PIN? Or Maybe "GO" + "GO"
PS - Just had a quick look again at my Beo4 and you can "ADD" a button called "SELECT" to the list of soft buttons, so maybe if you add that button, put in the PIN, bring up "SELECT" in the list and press "GO" that might work.
Stoobie
I receives 2 box, One for the TV + MANUAL + WIFI antenna and a second one with the floor stand...But no BEO4 !
(But the BEO4 is mentionned on the invoice.)
The only thing is that i must wait untill tuesday and I can't wait to use it :-p
My Beo4 was not in the V1 box but in a separate box with the Beo4, manual for Beo4 and batteries (alkalines from strange brand)
Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)
That must be so annoying :o(
a search on the B&O site says
I cannot use my Beo4 to operate BeoPlay V1, why?
If you use a Beo4 remote control without navigation button it is not possible to operate your BeoPlay v1. Only a Beo4 remote control with navigation can be used. If you cannot navigate in menus with your Beo4 remote control with navigation button, you must check that your Beo4 is in MODE 1.
So it looks like you have to wait.
Doesn't work with GO+GO or SELECT
Thanks !
Yes !
I thinks it's the only issue...
Many thanks for your help !
I gonna start it up and shut it down all day long ;)
Very FRUSTRATING !
Thank you Michael for this info !
You're waiting for the stand, i'm waiting for the remote
Valve1,
It's TORTURE ! haha
Want torture? I got my V1 WITHOUT a stand! Can't take it out of the shipping box, but I have the remote :)
Well that sucks for sure... Sorry to hear this.
Too long to list....
Hi Everybody !
I've replaced my Beovision 8-32.
I'm playing with my new V1 sinds two weeks now.
Here are my first impressions :
INSTALLATION
Very easy ! Wifi connected, PUC downloaded. Works fine !
I've connected a STB and a Playstation 3.
PICTURES :
With the STB :
SD is great but was better on BV8-32 ( may be it's the screen size? )
HD is VERY BEAUTIFULL ! ( you can see a pictures of HD in the flash your b&o tread )
With the PS3 :
I just try a game (in game mode), Looks very good and no lag for me..
Movie (in movie mode), WAOW ! Looks very detailled and the black is fantastic !
SOUND
Here i'm confused. I don't really know if it's good or very good. On the BV8-32 sound was more...agressive.
Now it's clean but there's no bass. I think this tv must be incredible with beolabs connected and the speakers from the v1 as Center.
New to B&O -> MEDIA ACCES :
I have acces to my computer with PS3 media server to music, pictures and movies.
And I must say that it works very well ! I play a HD movie(MKV) and I had no Lag, no difference between picture and sound.
Music is also fin, but I still love my Beosound 5 encore.
My CONCLUSION :
Positive :
Negative :
I'm verry happy and I love it.It's not a Beovision 10 but for the price it's a really great television.
It's a BEOPLAY product, don't forget it ;-)
It's the ideal solution for me.
If somoene have any idea to connect the ENCORE on the tv or the BEOLAB 4000 on the tv AND the Encore please tell me. I'm sure that there's a solution.
And I don't know which cable I must use to connect the nintendo WII.

Thanks for your review - I am glad you are happy with your choice.
Good to hear that the PS3 blu-ray worked well - I think you are going to have to buy more speakers and get the 5.1 going ! Perhaps a Beolab 11 is going to have to be first to fix the bass (that difference between the BV8-32 and V1-32 surprised me).
Good luck with the answers to your questions
BeoNut since '75

Hi Shinobi,
I also have the new V1. I have the white 40" and you too right? I think the sound is very good, crisp and clear with good bass-sound. However not to deep everytime. I have not yet started playing with the settings, the tv is still on DRAMA, or MOVIE (dont remember) but sometimes the bass is very very good. I think it is a setting to get it to play very good.
I was thinking about buying a BL11 to go with it but I would prefer a cleaner look and I don't think it is really necessary in my bedroom. And not sure how it would look together with the TV. Would probably have to hide it a bit from the tv
