Your Beolab Penta is the top of the line in the Bang & Olufsen range of audio equipment. It consists of the best Bang & Olufsen loudspeaker and amplifier ever, united in a slim, pentagonal sound column with stainless steel finish.
Owing to its sculptural design, the Beolab Penta takes up very little floor space. It adopts the colour of its surroundings and enhances the beauty of your home while giving you extraordinary musical experiences. The Beolab Penta consists of a loudspeaker unit matched by a powerful, fully automatic one-channel amplifier. The amplifier unit is equipped with the Dynamic Clipping Attenuator which reduces any audible distortion. The speaker unit contains a display which gives you useful information about the current state of your audio or video system.
This manual describes how to assemble the Beolab Penta, where to place it and how to connect and adjust it to your Bang & Olufsen audio or video system.

Assembling stand and column |

It is easiest to assemble the stand and the column if the column is lying on a table.
In order to protect the table from being scratched, we recommend that you first place the wrapping foam on the table.
The parts required for assembling the Beolab Penta are supplied with the speaker:
1 box spanner
5 nuts
5 plastic feet
Fasten the stand to the column by hooking the stand onto the 5 bolts fitted to the base of the column.
Screw the 5 nuts onto the bolts and tighten them securely using the box spanner.
5 plastic feet may be used to wooden/parquet floors
being scratched. Insert them the holes provided under the
of the speaker.
Connections
The Beolab Penta can be connected to either a receiver, a TV set, a Master Control Link 2 A or a Master Control Link 2 AV (MCL 2 A/2 AV).
For lengths and parts numbers of the cables which can be used, see the section “Optional accessories”.
NOTE! Before connecting the Beolab Penta to the receiver, TV set or MCL 2 A/2 AV, make sure that the MODE switch on the front panel is set to OFF. This precaution applies to both the initial set-up and to later rearrangements of connections.
Do not switch on your audio or video system until you have set the switches on the front panel to their correct position (see pp 11-13).
