Menu overview – advanced
Menus you use in the daily operation of your BeoSound are available when you use the pointer and the wheel.
Additional menus used for advanced settings are “hidden”, because you do not need them very often, because they are just ‘status displays’, or because changing the settings in these menus may affect the performance of your BeoSound.
To bring up these ‘advanced’ menus:
>Use the pointer to highlight MODE.
>Turn the wheel to select SETTINGS.
>Press 
twice and press GO.
Only the additional menus are shown here.
5* Only available when AUDIO MASTER is YES.
6* Only available when MUSIC SERVER is YES.
7* Indicates whether a CD Ripping Device is connected or not. Use this menu to check if CD Ripping Device is connected properly.
Options are: ‘DETECTED’ and ‘NOT DETECTED’. If the menu states ‘NOT DETECTED’ check the cable connections between BeoSound 5 and the CD Ripping Device.
8* Only available when AM OPTION is 0.
