BEFORE YOU START…

Make sure that the following
parts are available before you
start setting up the BeoSound
4000:

• one set of glass doors (left
and right).

• one cable cover, for
concealing and holding the
cables on the rear of the
BeoSound 4000.

• one lead for connection to
the mains.

• a pair of active Bang & Oluf­sen speakers with connectors.

When you set up your system,
we suggest you use the fol­lowing sequence:

Complete the setting-up proce­dure as described in the
section Ready for use… and
make your presettings of
sound levels, favourite radio
stations, etc. as described in the
BeoSound 4000 User's guide.

1 Place the BeoSound 4000

where you want to use it.

2 Set up your speakers and

any auxiliary equipment.

3 Connect all cables to their

sockets on the rear panel of
the BeoSound 4000 (only,
remember not to connect
the system to the mains yet!).

4 Arrange the cables in the

cable cover grooves, and
attach the cover to the rear

of the BeoSound 4000.
5 Attach the glass doors.
6 Connect the system to the

mains.

PLACEMENT

5

The BeoSound 4000 is placed
on the optional stand (with an
alternative pair of active loud­speakers). The stand accommo­dates compact discs and tape
cassettes.

Your BeoSound 4000 is designed
for a variety of placements. Its
compactness facilitates place­ment next to your favourite
listening position, which is also
optimal for close-up operation
of the system. It can be placed
on a special stand, on a shelf or
a table – or hanging off the
wall (using the optional wall
bracket). Please contact your
Bang & Olufsen dealer for
further information about
optional accessories.

The BeoSound 4000 is designed
for use in dry environments
only. Avoid placing the system
in direct sunlight, near
radiators or other sources of
heat. Place the BeoSound 4000
so that ventilation will not be
impeded – and, in case you set
up your system with alternative
active speakers, remember to
leave enough space at the sides
of the BeoSound 4000 for the
glass doors to open and close.

The slim cabinet allow place­ment in confined places. How­ever, don’t forget to leave
enough space above and to the
sides of the BeoSound 4000 to
provide sufficient ventilation.
