Got the new 6000

Got the new 6000 plugged all the cables in. Turned it on and a big Macrosystem flashes on the screen and then not compatable with this signal.
Any Ideas

Below is a procedure I put together, which may help. This was written for a PAL machine, which I am not sure if yours will have all the same connections, but the principle should be the same.

Hope it works. If it is not the problem, a little more detail on what you have connected to what would help us answer you question.

A18. Bogart Blank Screen Recovery
When first delivered, if you connect your machine, boot up and see no image, but the LED light on the front displays (Macrosystem), you might just be in the wrong display mode. This could also happen following a change in how the peripheral equipment is used e.g. the TV or monitor. This is not necessarily a fault, but is more likely to be that the screen display settings are not configured to the way you have set up your system.

The units are normally shipped in the single analog mode and if the unit has been connected to monitor using the DVI or a TV using the HDMI socket, the display will appear just black. Similarly if the system is changed from an analog set up to one of the other configurations, without changing the settings, there will be no image on the screen.

1. Check that the display on the Cassie is indicating (Bogart SE Macrosystem).
2. Since the monitor should be displaying the Bogart SE main menu, but the screen is blank, hold down the right track ball large button for 6 to 7 seconds, the front display panel will indicate the current display mode.
3. After pausing for a couple of seconds, use the large left trackball button to toggle to the next mode, which from SCART (the analog mode), will be DVI. If HDMI is required, the next option, wait for about 15 seconds and use the left track ball again to switch.

If there is a keyboard connected, instead of using the track ball in step 3, the following number keys can be used to select the correct mode.
4. 1. SCART (analog)
2. DVI
3. HDMI

Using Bogart 2.4c or above, the emergency screen switch function can also be used on the Media Manager portion of the system. This would be useful in cases where you switch from Bogart to Media Manager and your screen display suddenly goes black. In most cases this means the Media Manager is resting on the main menu and has been set to a different monitor mode than you are using on Bogart. If this happens just repeat the above procedure.

Note:-
When making the settings, the screen resolution will probably default to one of the lower screen resolution settings. To change, select “Settings” – “Screen” and select the resolution preferred, e.g. 1920 x 1080 50i (16:9).

I had to try 3 TV's before I found one that worked. 2 had HDMI and the other S video.

One of the HDMI TV's worked.
Thanks

Since the S6000 doesn't have an S Video output, I wonder why you bothered trying. I had a time getting my Samsung monitor to accept the 1920 x 1080 setting.
