hi,

i have read every thread concerning this issue and didn't find the solution.

in the connection menu, I have set the thing like this :

v.tape NONE

av DVD

decoder NONE

I plugged an old sat decoder into the av scart and a digital audio cable from another audio source into the spdif 1. I tried also the spdif 2.

when I press dvd on the beo4 I have the screen of the sat decoder but no sound coming from the speakers plugged into the beosystem 2.

i have used the rgb sound input and eberything works perfectly when I select CAMCORD on the beo4.

 

in the menu connection I don't have another audio option.

The SPDIF Input might need a certain format. Try to change digital audio settings in your source (PCM/Bitstream, Dolby Digital etc.).

SPDIF 1 is the right Connection (taken from the Manual):

SPDIF 1

Digital input socket for connection of, for example, a DVD player. SPDIF 1 is for digital input from equipment connected to the AV socket on BeoSystem 2.

Hi 

thank you for your answer. I just sent audio source from internet, just simple stereo. I tried the spdif cable plugged into my beolab 5 coming from a raspberry pi with a hifi digi + soundcard, no sound at all.

Try another device to make sure spdif input works.

That's already done Ralph with a computer. I have no more idea.

Someone on beoworld said that the spdif input reacts only to a dolby digital or dts source. I am going to check several files.

Correct. Software 2.2 and 2.3 supports DD and DTS

Older Avant's with software 1.9 support DD and PCM stereo. No DTS
