BEFORE YOU START…

Setting-up guide

This guide describes how to in­stall your BeoLink Active kit in a
Beo Link distribution system.

If you have never carried out
cable installation before, we
suggest you leave it to your
Bang & Olufsen retailer.
Likewise, we recommend that
you follow the instructions in
this guide care fully.

The Guide which is also supplied
with the BeoLink Active kit
describes how to operate your
system once it has been installed.

BeoLink system
The BeoLink distribution system
enables you to control your main
system and to hear it in the Link
room. Your Link room must be
connected to the main room via
a special (Master Link) cable. To
join the Master Link cable from
the main system and the cable
from the BeoLink Active box you
will need a Master Link junction
box. These acces sories can be
purchased from your Bang &
Oluf sen retailer

Please note that you cannot
distribute sound from your link
room through BeoLink Active to
your main room.

The main room is the room in
which you have placed your
audio system and/or video system
(the main system). The link room
is where you are about to set up
the BeoLink Active with a pair of
active speakers.

When you set up your BeoLink
Active kit, we recommend the
following sequence:
1 Switch off all products and

disconnect them from the

mains.
2 Make your installation.
3 Connect all products to the

mains.
4 Carry out the preprogramming.
