My Review about Astro B.yond (UPDATE)

1. I used Panasonic SDTV.
2. The TV can be programmed to the remote using option 2 (refer to installation manual).
3. Smart Card from other decoder can be inserted into the B.yond decoder (no HD channels).
4. Component cable works perfectly on SD channels and gives maximum picture quality that my TV can display (HD settings: 576p).
5. Changed satellite to #18 MEASAT-3A and gives 220-222 signal strength with 100% quality.
6. HD Channels via SDTV with component cable connection shows sharp picture that SDTV can get (no distortion).
Yet to be done:

1. Test SD channels via HDMI.
Suggestions:

1. Remove limitations on how many favourite channels should be set (like the old days).
2. Surf to favourite channels ch+ and ch- when enabled (like the old days).
3. Ceiling functions (like the old days).

Set up like this
Byond decoder HDMI to TV (HDMI 1 slot) and HDMI 2 out to HT plus digital audio from Byond to HT

You need to correctly sync your TV to the home theatre using braivia sync (Surprisingly this is a pain of a task and if you haven't done it you will need the manual of both the TV and HT to do it) then lastly ensure you programme the sony remote.

Sync the astro remote using the code 1825 or was it 1285? check the manual

Then sync the remote to control the audio by pressing ok and vol up. This time it will control the audio of the HT instead of the TV.

If you have set all menu functions correctly on the TV and HT your astro remote will now control

HT
power
mute
volumn

on the TV
power
input sellection

Byond
all functions

so that my sony sync still working la?? when i on the dvd, the tv automaticly switch to dvd input???

actually no problem with bravia sync between tv and ht..its just that if u turn on/off using tv remote, oni tv and ht will turn on/off but by using the astro remote u can control astro,tv and ht and by the way its 1825

You need to change the Digital In setting of your Home Theatre
you will have an option in the custom settings on Sony to have Digital In via Coax or OPT. set it to OPT.

Because the Home Theatre needs to be synced to the TV before it can be synced to the astro remote.
