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.

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.

External aerial…

If you wish to connect an external aerial to BeoSound 1, move the built-in aerial plug to the position marked (A), and connect the external one to the socket instead.

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.
