When you have nished setting
up the loud speaker as described
on the following pages, connect
the entire system to the mains.

Loudspeaker protection

The loud speaker is equipped with a

thermal protection system which
prevents damage from overheating.
If an error occurs – or the speaker
units become overheated – the
system automatically switches the
loud speaker to standby.

To restore the sound:

> Disconnect the loudspeaker from

the mains supply.

> Allow the system time to reset or

cool down (approximately 3–5
minutes).

> Reconnect the loudspeaker to

the mains supply.

Should the problem persist, contact
your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

To clean the loudspeaker

Clean dusty surfaces using a dry,
soft cloth. If necessary, remove
grease stains or persistent dirt with

a lint-free, rmly wrung cloth,

dipped in a solution of water
containing only a few drops of mild
detergent, such as washing-up
liquid.

The loud speaker front grill may be
cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with
a soft brush nozzle, and set to the
lowest level.

Never use alcohol or other solvents
to clean any parts of the loud­speaker!

To switch on and off

When you switch on your Bang &
Olufsen system, the loud speaker
switches on simul taneously, and
when you switch the system off
again the loud speaker also switches
to standby.

Caution: Handle the loudspeaker
front grill with great care. Dents
and scratches are not covered by
the guarantee!

Set up the loudspeaker

We recommend that you follow
this procedure:

– Disconnect your Bang & Olufsen

system from the mains supply.

– Fasten the loudspeaker as

explained on the next page.

– Connect the loudspeaker and set

the position switch as explained
in ‘Cable connections’ (pp. 6 –7).

– Connect the entire system to the

mains again.

Cautions!

– Make sure that the loudspeaker

is placed and connected in
accordance with the instructions
in this Guide. To prevent injury,
use Bang & Olufsen approved
stands and wall brackets only!

– The loudspeaker can only be

switched off completely by
disconnecting it from the wall
socket.

– Do not attempt to open the loud-

speaker. Leave such operations

to qualied service personnel!

– The loudspeaker is designed for

indoor use in dry, domestic
environments only, and for use
within a temperature range of

10–40º C (50 –105º F).

– Always place the loudspeaker in

a horizontal position, and do not
place any items on it.

– In order not to block the sound

emitting from the rear bass

reex ports and the bass units

on the bottom, leave a minimum
of 6 cm (2½”) free space behind
and below the loud speaker.

– Prolonged listening at high

volume levels may cause hearing
damage!

Handling the loudspeaker: In
order not to dent or scratch the
loud speaker front grill, we
recommend that you lift the loud­speaker by holding on to the two
bass units on the bottom. Do not
support the loud speaker holding

Here is explained how to fasten the
loud speaker to a Bang & Olufsen
stand.

a Remove the two small covers (if

any) on the stand. Press each
cover as shown, and they will
come loose.

Use the four longest screws
(M5 × 25 mm).

c Fasten the loudspeaker to the

bracket. Use the two short screws
(M5 × 8 mm). However, do not
fully tighten the screws before
you have made the adjustments
mentioned below (d).

Adjustments: First, make sure that
the television is adjusted to a level
position on its stand! Then use the
two screws (d) to adjust the loud­speaker so that it is parallel to the
lower edge of the television. Align
the loud speaker front with the tele­vision and tighten the two screws
(c).

In this Guide is explained how
to set up the loudspeaker in a

setup with BeoVision 7. If used in
a setup not including BeoVision 7,
you will require a mains cord
and a Power Link cable. These
cables are avail able as optional
accessories from your Bang &
Olufsen retailer.

The socket panel is located on the

rear of the loudspeaker. For
information about the sockets on
your Bang & Olufsen system, refer
to the Guides enclosed with the
system.

Before you make any connections,
disconnect your Bang & Olufsen
system from the mains supply!

Cable connections

socket

Cable clamp

Position switch

POWER LINK socket: Use this
socket to connect the loud speaker
to one of the Power Link sockets
on the Bang & Olufsen system.

Note: Do not use a Power Link cable
of the older type, as this will cause
noise, and therefore not give
optimum sound quality! The new
type has a triangular mark on the
plug.

Cable clamp: For safety reasons,
the mains cord from the wall outlet
must be secured to the loud speaker.

To do so, tug the cord behind the

clamp.

Mains cord: The supplied mains
cord and plug are specially designed
for the product. If you change the
plug or damage the mains cord, you
must buy another from your Bang &

Olufsen retailer!

The position switch

When a loudspeaker is placed in a
corner or close to a wall, the bass
level is boosted compared to the
bass level from a loudspeaker
placed in a more free-standing
position.

To remove this excessive bass boost,

use the position switch to ensure
that the bass level suits the place­ment of the loudspeaker. The
appropriate switch setting depends
on the distance from the loud­speaker to the walls and corners of
the room.

The switch has two settings:

F – Free-standing position

Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed so that the front grill is
more than 50 cm (20”) from the
rear wall.

W – Wall position

Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed so that the front grill is less
than 50 cm (20”) from the rear
wall.

If the loudspeaker is tted to a low

stand – and you have chosen to

place it on the oor – you should

set the position switch to W. The position switch is located on

the loud speaker socket panel.
