This Setting-up guide explains how to set up your BeoSound 9000 and make it ready for use.

The BeoSound 9000 may also be used in a fully integrated Bang & Olufsen AV system (see the sections “Connections” and “Ready for use…”). Please contact your Bang & Olufsen dealer.

We recommend that you follow the instructions in this guide carefully and suggest that you proceed as recommended here:

■Study the section “Placement” in this guide carefully in order to decide how and where to place the BeoSound 9000.

■If your setup includes one of the optional brackets or the stand, then assemble this according to the separate folder enclosed with the accessory.

■Set up your loudspeakers (or, if the BeoSound 9000 is to be used in a Bang & Olufsen AV system, set up this system) following the procedures described in the guides enclosed with these products.

■Make your connections to the BeoSound 9000 and proceed with your setup as described in this guide.

NOTE: Do not connect the BeoSound 9000 (or any other product) to the mains before you have completed the settingup procedure!

Please refer to the BeoSound 9000 User's guide (also enclosed) for detailed operating instructions.
