Using your Beo4 remote control

The Beo4 is a hand-held remote control which gives easy access to remote operation of your Bang & Olufsen audio and/or video system.

Daily operations are carried out by pressing a single button on the Beo4, or by pressing a few buttons in a logical and straightforward sequence.

The display on Beo4 keeps you informed of which source you are operating: TV, RADIO, Video tape recorder (V TAPE), CD or DVD player, the audio tape recorder (A TAPE), or even the lights (LIGHT)…

But the Beo4 remote control incorporates more functions than just the actual buttons: Extra sources can be switched on, and additional functions can be obtained via the display. “Buttons” for these functions can be called up on the Beo4 display via the LIST button.

Whether you use the Beo4 buttons for daily operation, or call up extra “buttons” for functions or sources in the display, you will find that Beo4 remote operation is easy…

Calling up extra “buttons” in the Beo4 display

The buttons on your Beo4 remote control give access to direct remote control of a large number of functions in your entire Bang & Olufsen system.

However, the display combined with the LIST button on the Beo4 enables you to operate even more functions or sources. Each time you press LIST on Beo4, a new “button” appears in the display which represents an extra function or source that you can operate via your Beo4…

Whenever a source is displayed on the Beo4 (TV, RADIO, CD, …), you can call up extra “buttons” in the display to operate that particular source, e.g. STAND to turn the TV, FORMAT to change the size and shape of the picture on the screen, and so on.

You can also switch on extra products connected to your Bang & Olufsen audio or video system via the Beo4 display, e.g. VTAPE2 an extra video tape recorder.

These extra “buttons” can be edited, though. You can add new “buttons” from the Beo4 setup list if necessary, rearrange the manner in which these chosen “buttons” appear on the Beo4 display or even remove them from the list of extra “buttons” that you access directly.

For further information of how to edit the Beo4 list of extra “buttons”, please refer to the chapter Customising your Beo4.

LIST

The Beo4 display acts as a status display and tells you which source you are currently operating. But each time you press the LIST button, you will see a new “button” or cue in the Beo4 display.

When calling up extra “buttons”…

You can either hold the LIST button down to make the “buttons” appear successively in the display; or press LIST repeatedly to step through them one by one.

When you have found the “button” you want, you must either press the GO button to switch on (activate) the function, or start operating the function directly using the Beo4 buttons.

When you have finished operating the extra function, then press EXIT or a source button e.g. TV to remove the “button” from the Beo4 display, and return to controlling the original source e.g. TV.

Note: An extra “button” in the Beo4 display, however, only gives access to operating a function, if that function is offered by your particular Bang & Olufsen product.,
