User’s Guide
INTRODUCING BEOCORD V 8000
2
Before you start…
Two user’s guides are enclosed with
your BeoCord V 8000. A User’s guide
which should be used, if V 8000 is
combined with a BeoVision MX TV,
and a User’s guide which should be
used, if V 8000 is combined with a
BeoVision MS TV. Choose the
appropriate guide for your system
setup. The enclosed Setting-up guide
applies to all setups.
This User’s guide explains how to fine
tune and preset your BeoCord V 8000
in a setup with an MS TV. It also
explains how to operate the various
sources and functions, using the Beo4
remote control. Complete operation
of BeoCord V 8000 is also available
via Beolink 1000.
We recommend that you (or your
Bang & Olufsen dealer) follow the
instructions in the Setting-up guide
when you set up your BeoCord V
8000. If you connect auxiliary
equipment to your system, please
refer to the Setting-up guide for
instruction.
Apart from explaining how to make
the system ready for use, the Setting-
up guide also includes maintenance
instructions.
Note: If you combine your BeoCord V 8000
with the BeoVision 1 TV, please refer to the
BeoVision 1 Reference book for information of
how to use V 8000 on a daily basis with the Beo1
remote control, and how to connect V 8000 to
BeoVision 1. You can combine BeoCord V 8000
with Bang & Olufsen TVs other than the ones
mentioned here, but please refer to the Settingup guide for further information.

Please note about Track step…
In order to step through tracks on a tape, it is
required that the tape was recorded with the
marker function cut in. Please refer to Setting
your options for V 8000, pages 14–15, for further
instruction.
If the track marker function is cut in, the start of
each recording is automatically indicated. If you
wish, you can erase these markers and instead set
your own markers on your recording. See page 22
for further instruction.
Note: If you are playing back NTSC tapes, and
press STOP once, BeoCord V 8000 will stop
entirely, there is no pause or still mode. It will not
be possible to play an NTSC tape in slow motion –
pressing the red and blue button on Beo4, will
produce no reaction whatsoever. The counter
position will not be displayed in the display, when
you are playing back NTSC tapes.
Please note about Counter position…
The counter positions can be set to two different
indications, the time used and time left counter
position indicators.
Choose your preferred indication via the V 8000
setup menu and, if necessary, indicate the length
of the tape. In most cases, the V 8000 registers the
tape length automatically, though.
Once BeoCord V 8000 has registered the correct
length of a tape, the counter instantly adjusts
itself to the new counter position which is
determined by the length of the tape – time used
is the default counter position indication. See
Setting your options for V 8000, pages 14-15, for
further information.
