Before you start…

Placement
Allow enough space above the BeoSound 1 to enable the built-in aerial to extend and the CD compartment to raise.
Make sure that the BeoSound 1 is always placed on a firm, stable surface. The BeoSound 1 is designed for indoor use in dry, domestic environments only, and for use within a temperature range of 10–40°C (50–105°F).
If you connect external sources to the BeoSound 1, do not switch on the mains until you have made all connections.
Connections
The socket panel is located underneath the BeoSound 1. The socket panel contains mains, aerial and AUX sockets.
Auxiliary equipment…
Use the AUX socket to connect auxiliary equipment, e.g. an audio tape recorder or a mini disc player. Please consult a Bang & Olufsen retailer for details. If a recorder is connected to your BeoSound 1 you can make recordings from the radio and CD player. Please refer to the user’s guide supplied with the recorder. However, if you operate the BeoSound 1 while such a recording is in progress, the recording will be disrupted.
The AUX socket is activated by pressing both
CD simultaneously.
,
Maintenance
Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the BeoSound 1. We do not recommend using special cleaning CDs in the BeoSound 1.
Before you clean the BeoSound 1, we recommend that you disconnect it from the mains to prevent inadvertent operation.
Clean dusty surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. If necessary remove grease stains or persistent dirt with a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in a solution of water containing only a few drops of mild detergent, such as washing–up liquid.
The front may also be cleaned with a soft brush mounted on a vacuum cleaner set to the lowest level.
External aerial…
If you wish to connect an external aerial to BeoSound 1, move the built-in aerial plug to the position marked external one to the socket instead.

Use the PIN code system

It is your own choice whether or not to activate the PIN code system. However, if you choose to activate the system, your BeoSound 1 is protected against theft with a fourdigit PIN code.
The use of a PIN code means that if your BeoSound 1 is disconnected from the mains for more than 30 minutes, the system can only be activated again by keying in your own personal PIN code.
If the PIN code is not entered, the BeoSound 1 automatically switches to standby after 3 minutes.
If a wrong PIN code is entered, you get five attempts to key in the code, after which the system is switched off and cannot be switched on for 3 hours.
Should you forget your PIN code, please contact a retailer who can assist you in receiving a Master code from Bang & Olufsen. You need the Master code to reactivate your BeoSound 1.
Enter the PIN code
If the PIN code system is activated and your BeoSound 1 is disconnected from the mains, you are requested to key in the four-digit PIN code when the system is first switched on.
