Help beovision 4 65" -beosystem 2

Hi I have a beovision 4 50" plasma running on a beosystem 2 with no issues 

I recently purchased the beovision 4 65"tv that was running on a beosystem 3 with no issues

The 65" didn't come with the beosystem 3 but the owner assured be it would work fine on the beosystem 2.

Got it home made all the connections but the picture is unwatchable 

I've since been advised that the set needs certain changes made in the service menu to pair the tv with the beosystem 2??

Can anyone advise of how I do this

Thanks

Hi vfm, if you look on the BV back panel there should be a sticker telling you what settings to use for BS2 or BS3. About 5 or 6 parameters.

I’m afraid I can’t help with getting to the service menu on BS2 to make the changes.

Hi yes there are 2 stickers one for the beosystem 2 and one for the beosystem 3 but can anyone tell me how I input this into the beovision 4 

Thanks

If I recall, the beosystem 2 checks on the serial port that a beovision is connected. If it isn’t, then it will not output a picture. 

if that is your issue, I vaguely remember you need to join pins 7&8 on the serial port (get a plug and just solder the connections together. Then the screen should start up. 

 

‘A quick way on checking is to connect a powered bv4 via the serial connector to the bs2, and the dvi to the bv4-65 - and if that works, then the serial port mod should do the job. 

Hiya thanks for the info but the 65" powers up with the beosystem 2 but the picture seems to be behind funny lines and is not in the right colour if that makes any sense 

The menu features seem to be correct ie.volume main menu functions appear normal as the beovision 4 50" 

Hope you can help me before I chuck it out and stick with the 50"

Many thanks 

Ah, OK. What video connections on the beosystem 2vto the bv4 are you using?

i think the engineering menu on the bs2 is menu, scroll to connections, then 0,0,go.

It is pins 2+3, a gender changer to make the BS2 port a female connection and a paperclip is the easier way...

But that is not the issue here.

Did you transport the TV standing up? Did you check the TV with a PC using an original Panasonic remote? Search the forum for this.

Can you attach a pic of the TV?

Beosystem 3 are quite affordable thesedays. You would benefit from hdmi, full HD outputs and easier more flexible system. Possibly upgrade that too?
