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.
If you have installed more units

throughout the house, make sure
that the remote control can only
activate one receiver at a time.
PLACEMENT
To fasten the BeoLink Active receiver to the wall:
1 Using the wall bracket as a template, mark and drill the
holes in the wall.
2 Using the two screws and wall plugs supplied (A),
fasten the wall bracket.
3 When you have mounted the receiver cable (see page
5) hang the receiver on the wall bracket and then
secure it with the tiny screw (B).
4 Fasten the cable to the wall and run it to the BeoLink
Active box.
In the following we have listed some advice and require ments for the placement of the BeoLink Active:
• Theunitsinthesystemmustall
be placed in a dry place, i.e.
not outdoors (the Master Link
cable, however, may very well
be run out doors). Once
connected, the BeoLink Active
box should be fastened to the
wall – e.g. concealed behind a
curtain or a piece of furni ture.
• PlacetheBeoLinkActive
receiver so it can receive the
remote control signals.
• Ifthereceiverisplacednextto
a door and at a suitable height,
you can easily switch on or off
by close-up operation when
entering or leaving the room.
Likewise, if it is placed near
your telephone, you can switch
off the speakers while you are
on the phone.
• Avoidplacingthereceiverin
direct sunlight or direct
artificial light, e.g. a spot light,
or near objects generating
electrical noise, e.g. light
dimmers, as this will reduce
the sensitivity of the receiver.
• Thereceiverisdesignedto
function within a temperature
range of 0 – 55°C (32 – 130°F).
If it is exposed to higher or
lower temperatures, it may
block the whole system.
The box is designed to function
within a temperature range of
10 – 40°C (50 – 105°F).
• Thereceivercablesuppliedis

maximum length of cable to
be used.

CONNECTIONS
Cables should always be handled with great care. When
running the cables, avoid bending them too sharply and
be careful not to twist them. Avoid subjecting the cables
to pressure or impact.
Using the cable supplied, connect the BeoLink Active
receiver as follows:
1 Detach the rear cover of the BeoLink Active receiver
(unscrew the two screws (C) and loosen the two screws
(D), then lift off the cover).
2 Cut the cable to the required length (from the Beo Link
Active box to the receiver) and strip it as shown.
3 Insert the cable end through the cable clamp (E) and
connect the leads to the terminals inside the receiver in
the order indicated. Then tighten the clamp (E).
4 Attach the rear cover again and fasten the BeoLink
Active receiver to the wall (see page 4).
5 Plug the cable into the socket marked IR on the
BeoLink Active box.
Strip the cable end. Twist the
cores in each lead and bend
them back.
NOTE! Disconnect your entire
Bang & Olufsen system from the
mains while you make the
connections!
Connect the leads in the receiver
cable to the terminals inside the
receiver in this order:
1 = Yellow
2 = Grey
3 = Green
4 = White
5 = Brown

*The socket marked PC is for connection of extra
equipment. You must use the Bang & Olufsen cable
adaptor to make the connection. For further
information, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer. The
PC source is activated via the PC command on your
Beo4. You can only select the PC source locally.
In the main room: Using a Master Link cable, connect
the flat multi-pin plug to the socket marked MASTER
LINK on the main system, and run the cable to the
junction box. If a PC source is also connected to your
main room TV, you must bring up L-PC from the Beo4
list to activate it in the link room.
Inside the junction box: Join the cables as explained in
the documentation enclosed with the box. This
document contains information of the many
possibilities of the box and how to join the cables.

READY FOR USE…
When you have made all the connections as described in
the previous chapter you may start using the system.
However, in order for your setup to function properly, you
may need to preprogram it.
Your BeoLink Active can be preprogrammed for the
following setup situations (Options):
Option 0: To be used if you want to disable remote
control operation of the BeoLink Active (to re-enable
remote control, select one of the other options).
Option 4: To be used if you install the BeoLink Active in
the same room as your main system (e.g. in a large
L-shaped living room with two separate listening
positions).
Option 5: To be used if you install a TV set in the same
room as your BeoLink Active.
Option 6: To be used for a setup with the main system in
one room and the BeoLink Active in another, as described
in this guide.
Using a Beo6:
>Whileholdingthe•button,

(0, 4, 5 or 6).
NOTE! To ensure correct function
of your setup, it is essential that
you connect both the main system
and the speakers to the mains –
before connecting the BeoLink
Active box to the mains!
The preprogramming is done with a Bang & Olufsen
remote control, and must be carried out with both the
main and link system switched to stand-by!
