Beovision 10-32 'Boot-Up' time over masterlink

7 replies
Whilst temporarily living in a rental property, the only piece of B&O equipment that I am currently using is my Beovision 10-32 in the living room. It is fitted with the DVB-HD (T2C) module, and the boot-up time (from pressing 'TV' to a picture appearing) is just over 30 seconds. Whilst I can live with this delay for TV (there is little that I am in a rush to see!), I also use the TV for radio. I currently do this via the Freeview radio channels - eg channel 704 for BBC Radio 4. Of course these take just as long to 'boot-up' as TV programmes, which I find frustrating. My question is this: If I connected a B&O audiomaster (eg BS3000) to the BV10-32 by masterlink, making use of the TV's speakers, would pressing 'RADIO' on the remote result in an instant response - i.e radio audio without the 'boot up' delay? Or does the TV still need to go through the 30-second 'boot-up' process to play masterlinked audio?

The short answer is it will take the same length of time. The long answer is whilst the TV does have a boot up time, the main delay is the Masterlink power on sequence even if you don't have something connected to the Masterlink.

Thanks Keith - that's very useful to know. I think that I'll look for another solution, perhaps add a Beosound 1 (original version) to my collection!

PS: Since that photo was taken there are more (non-B&O) boxes on top and alongside!
