BEFORE YOU START…

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

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

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

• 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 Ouverture User's guide.

1 Place the BeoSound

Ouverture 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 Ouverture
(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 Ouverture.
5 Attach the glass doors.
6 Connect the system to the

mains.

PLACEMENT

5

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

Your BeoSound Ouverture is
designed for a variety of place­ments. Its compactness facili­tates placement next to your
favourite listening position,
which is also optimal for close­up 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 Ouverture 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
Ouverture 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 Ouverture for the glass
door s 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 Ouver­ture to provide sufficient ven­tilation.
