Making a short conversion lead for use with Beovision tv's

4 replies
Hi all I have an old BV 7 motorised tv stand, and a BV 10 tv. I am wanting to connect the tv stand output to the stand, I have a rectangular 5 wired lead, and also a line socket which will connect to the 5 pin DIN plug. Anyone out there have the wire functions ie pins 1 - 5 of the rectangular plug and also the wire in functions ie pins1-5 of the din plugand their orientation? I hope my question is clear, it's difficult to describe what I am looking for! thanks Tony S
Hi Tony, I have just answered your PM and attached this from the BV6 manual: (I think you already have the 8-pin connection list?) But have you considered buying a purpose built lead from here?   And a side view of the proper BV10-32 stand: When you put a BV10 on the BV7 stand, the TV drops all the way downwards and tilts fully upwards due to the orientation of the two (near parallel) cross members.  The different orientation/geometry of the BV10 stand hold the TV (stops it dropping) let allows you to tilt the screen up or down.  The entire mechanism appears stiffer and more controllable. When I temporarily used a BV7 stand for my BV10-32, I wedged a rectangular piece of rubber in the gap between the supports to stop the TV dropping downwards.

Thanks to Guy for his kind help with information etc. I have now made up a conversion lead using a micro fit plug with attached cables and an 8 pin DIN line socket. And yes, it works!!!  ;-) I am about to contribute a piece about the repair of the microfit plug on the rotating stand using Farnell parts and the conversion piece Hopefully I have some photos to mount but my camera started playing up during the fabrications. I will also outline a solution to the stand geometry and the viewing angle of the 10-40 tv Currently the vertical angle for viewing is held by some cable ties around the pole and the rear bottom central cable mount at the base of the tv  ---  it works but does not look good. I haven't got a cable cover so not a problem.   Anyone out there got said cable cover they would be willing to part with for an exchange of funds  ---  colour doesn't matter! Cheers Tony S
