Apple TV would not love Bang&Olufssen (component problem)

Within several months I connect TV via HDMI ➡ DVI to Bang&Olufssen Beovision 7-40. All - OK.
Several days ago I have tried to connect TV to the TV through a videocomponental cable and have seen the black screen.
I have tried to connect this cable the TV with DVD and too have seen the black screen.
I have gone to B&O shop and we tried to connect TV and DVD on a componental cable to 6-8 different models TV's B&O.

Only one model of the TV has shown us the image. The others - only the black screen.
They long consulted to the service center, but those could tell nothing. One my friend has advised to find any DVD-player in which there is a mode of manual switching of development - on progressive.

And has occured - the TV on 7000$ at last has shown the image from stranger DVD (it has built in DVD and the built in satellite receiver).

But remains question - how to connect TV on a componental cable? I cannot forced include progressive development, not seeing the image.
I am compelled to use a componental cable because through DVI I sometimes connect Macbook to this TV

It may be that the component output of the Apple TV is just set to an incompatible format. You can use the remote to cycle through the available settings. Once it gets to an appropriate format, you should be able to see an image.

To change the resolution with the remote:
1 Press and hold both the 'menu' and '+'on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
2 Press '+' or '-' on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
3 When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and +“If you can see the Apple logo, select OK”+ appears on your TV screen, press the 'OK' button.

PS
the component output does not work if the HDMI is connected, so make sure it's unplugged before you try to use component output.

*All works!!!!*

The following has been made:
1. Through the service menu (00 + Go) on B&O it has been included mysterious "AFC"
2. In adjustments of the TV has been created new connection.
3. The B&O TV has been switched off and included once again (necessarily!!!).
4. On remote TV have been pressed "MENU" and "+" for 6 seconds.
5. Buttons "-" and "+" HAD been found a mode! At me it became " 1080 HD ".

All works! All thanks!
