Bang & Olufsen BEOSOUND 3200 User Manual

The CD memory offers you the possibility to store the contents of your CDs inside the music system. It has four available groups and each group can hold up to 99 CDs. Forget about finding and loading CDs one by one, you have instant access to your CD collection, all stored in the same player.

When your CDs are copied into the memory, you can store them out of sight.

To help you organise your CD memory groups, use the booklet enclosed with this Guide; each group is represented by the colour of the button activating it, and there is room for you to enter the group names, CD names as well as track names.

Each of the four coloured buttons represents a CD memory group.

Memory groups

When you copy your CDs, you must store the contents in one or more of the four groups already created in the CD memory. The four groups are associated with the four coloured buttons on the operation panel; green, yellow, red and blue, which are also the names that will appear in the display, unless you name the groups as described on page 19.

Naming and organising

You can provide each of the four groups with a new name and create your own structure. You can choose to store all your CDs in one group or store them in different groups organised for example by genre, and name the groups accordingly: POP, BLUES, etc. Another way of organising the CDs is according to the different users of the music system, such as: MY MUSIC, MUM or PETER. It is all up to you.

6		Close-up operation panel and displays

All the buttons are conveniently grouped according to type of function, so you can easily find your way around the panel while operating the system.

The displays on the music system give you various types of information. You choose which type of information is displayed.

Once you have copied your CDs into the CD memory, they are stored until you delete them. You can now easily play all your music CDs.

When you switch on the CD memory, the group and the CD you last played start playing. You can then select other CDs or tracks within the group, select another group or perhaps a specific CD in another group. To activate a group, press the corresponding button on the close-up operation panel. The groups are distinguished by the colours: green, yellow, red and blue when you start out, but you can choose to give the groups a name. Refer to page 19 for further information.

Unless you choose differently, playing continues from the CD memory for 12 hours.

Before playing a loaded CD, all information on the CD is registered, such as the number of tracks. Then the CD starts playing from the beginning. Playback continues until the whole CD has been played, unless you choose differently.

You can always keep track of what the CD player is doing by watching the displays. The displays show either track number or track time, depending on which display mode it has been set to. If you have named the CD, the name will also be shown in the display*

Although designed primarily for close-up operation, the music system can also be operated from a distance. The Beo4 remote control operates all the primary functions in your Bang & Olufsen product.

With Beo4, you can switch on or off, select radio stations or CD tracks. It is also possible to switch on the special random and repeated playback functions in the CD player, as well as adjust the sound.

If your music system is used together with other Bang & Olufsen products, refer to the Guides delivered with these products for further explanation.
