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 Settingup 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.

Remote operation with Beo4

The Beo4 remote control is the key to all the functions in your BeoCord V 8000 videotape recorder:

•Daily operations are carried out directly via the Beo4 remote control by pressing a single button, or by pressing a few buttons in a straightforward sequence.

•The more advanced functions are also carried out via Beo4, but operation of these functions is guided by the BeoCord's own onscreen menus.

The daily playback functions performed by the BeoCord V 8000 can also be operated via its close-up operation panel (see next page)…

The Beo4 remote control communicates with the BeoCord V 8000 via your Bang & Olufsen BeoVision MS TV.

Standby is indicated by a small red light in the BeoCord V 8000 display on the front of the BeoCord V 8000 when you connect it to the mains.

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.
