Great video. Very much easier instead of having to take the back off the TV every time! I don't know what my software revision is off the top of my head, but I can get into the service menu by pressing Menu on the remote, then 0, 0, Go. I only just found this out funnily enough. Oh, my model is MX8000 so not sure if that makes a difference.
The service menu, and menus in general actually makes sense on the MX8000, such an improvement! I got lucky and got hold on a MX8000 earlier this year!
@@limited.timestruggle yeah I was waiting to find one for ages last year, then one was listed at a good price and happened to be 5 minutes from my house. I'm going to look into the device menu although mine seems to be pretty good so I probably won't mess with it too much!
@@bobbus_74 You know, there's a SVM-cable on the neckboard that makes the sharpness on this set RAZOR sharp. To be honest, a bit too sharp for my taste. I disconnected this cable, and after I adjusted the screen voltage and focus using the image was more to my taste! Still sharper than my MX7000 sets, and more pleasent to look at. Butt that's my take on it :P
@@limited.timestruggle I didn't know that, no. I'm quite new to B&O sets, it's the first one I've ever owned. Thanks for the info, that could come in useful in the future I'm sure!
@@bobbus_74 Sweet! You might not like it, and some tweaking might be necessary. Just be vary working inside CRT's if you don't have the experience! Just hit me up via the instagram link posted under this video if you have any questions =)
@did somebody say retro would you mind to share your initial values please? I bought a MX6000 but it was already modified, I would like to go back to original values thank you very much !
RGB SCART was basically standard on consumer TV's in PAL territory. B&O is a Danish company, and I believe that's why these sets are much more available in Europe. I'm not sure they ever retailed over there ?
@@ThatOneGuyMatt I don't think they were sold over in the states back then. They are pretty common around here at least. You guys might have missed RGB-scart, but you did get component inputs at least, and HDMI-fitted CRT's also became a standard I reckon. I've rarely seen anything like that over here lol.
Needed this! Much appreciated! I'm learning how to go about all this and I've just picked up a mint MX4000 with SW 1.1 ... Once the service menu is up, I take it I can plug in my Mega Drive and adjust accordingly?! 😬
Hi, this video is really good but could you please share more about the switch button (Voltage needed ? self reset or self lock?). Could you please also share what could be the perfect set up? Thank you :)
@@didsomebodysayretro Unless you've found it already, you can set AV2 or AV1 to Decoder instead of V.Tape. This will display the AV signal on any TV channel you choose (have to turn Decoder on for specific channels, doing this is different depending on what remote you have). This means you can change the service menu settings while viewing the game.
What remote are you using? I got an MX5500 Today and i'd like to tweak the colors, but I don't have the remote and the beo4 is much too expensive. Great video, Cheers!
dude i have the same TV today i'll get one for free with stand on ebay. But the remote i must buy seperate. Finally i can play old consoles without adapter on a real CRT :3
Crazy to have to mod a CRT to get into the service menu. Great job!
I know right! Oh cheers man, really means a lot coming from you!
so i have an mx7000 with software 4.3 can i enter servis mode with the remote

thank you, just what I needed
Really interesting keep these mod vids coming
Thank you mate!

what is this connector called?
Do I need to have shorted the pins before, or can I just go ahead and do this mod without ever having touched those pins with a screwdriver?
Great video. Have you tried adjusting the focus back there?
Hey man, thank you! I never got round to that unfortunately.
Excellent video
👍

Was rgb more widely used in the uk? I never see it here in the states .

@@limited.timestruggle I've never heard of the brand. Doesn't mean they weren't available for commercial use tho like pvm monitors

you guys had S-Video mostly but RGB SCART was the Standard here in the UK from at least 1988 for sure.
Niceeeeee
Smashed it
Thanks man!
That went on just like a breeze didn’t it? Great work 👍🏻
Haha sure did, thank you so much again mate!

Hello. Is this mod the same for a mx4000?
yes same motherboard
Thanks. I have an option for buying an SW 4.6 but nice to know about the hack anyway :D

Cool video, have you got the TV setup to allow you to tweak service mode settings whilst viewing the console image?
Hey, thank you! I can only change settings in TV mode I’m afraid and not on the RGB source… unless you know a way around it?
@@didsomebodysayretro There’s some info here about it - mmmonkey.co.uk/bang-olufsen-mx7000-crt-notes/
