Home Theatre
You can extend your system into a
fully equipped Home Theatre by
connecting four Bang & Olufsen
loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2
subwoofer*.
When you switch on one of the
sources in BeoSystem 1, speakers in
a surround sound system can be cut
in or out, depending on what kind of
sound suits the source you are using.
BeoSystem 1 may switch on a
speaker combination automatically.
This happens if a broadcasted
programme contains information
about the number of speakers to be
switched on. However, you are still
free to choose the speaker
combination you prefer.
With Beo4, you can choose the
picture format you prefer for movie
viewing, and switch between two
connected screens.

You can select the speaker combination that
suits the source you are using, provided that
the various sound modes are available in your

FORMAT 1… For standard TV pictures. Two
variations are available: 15:9 and Panoramic
view (for the largest picture).
FORMAT 2… For letter-box pictures. When you
select FORMAT 2, the picture is automatically
adjusted vertically. This ensures that channel
names or subtitles – if these appear in the
broadcasted picture – can be seen.
FORMAT 3… For genuine 16:9 wide-screen
pictures. FORMAT 3 is usually selected
automatically. If this is not the case, you can
select it yourself.
Switch between two screens
If you have connected two screens to
BeoSystem 1 at the same time, such as a
plasma screen and a projector screen for
Home Theatre use, you can switch between
these at any time by selecting FORMAT 0 on
Beo4.
If you have a home automation system connected,
the screen, lights and curtains can be equally
adjusted when you choose FORMAT 0 and switch
to the Home Theatre setup. For information about
how to connect BeoSystem 1 to a home automation
system, refer to the chapter ‘Connect a screen to
BeoSystem 1’ on page 42.

See two sources at the same time
Your Beo4 remote control gives you
access to a dual-screen function for
viewing two video sources at the
same time. For example, you can
view a videotape playback and a TV
programme at the same time,
provided that the selected sources
are available in your system.
While watching a programme or
recording, you can divide the screen
between the current programme or
recording (picture A in the second
illustration) and a new programme or
recording (picture B). You can also
swap the two pictures at any time.
The sound always follows picture A.
Volume adjustment with Beo4 always
affects picture A, while other Beo4
operations, such as selecting
channels, affect picture B. Choosing
a new source cancels dual-screen
viewing.
While watching, for example,

active sound system is currently
playing on the source or programme
you are watching.
The sound system is an integrated
part of a programme or, for example,
a DVD disc. Therefore, as the sound
system is distributed to you from the
broadcaster, you can not preset a
sound system in this menu.
A given sound system signal may
automatically switch on the speaker
combination considered optimal for
the specific sound system. You can
always choose to disregard such
automatic change in speaker
combination. For further information,
refer to the chapter ‘Home Theatre’

BeoSystem 1 has a built-in 24-hour
clock.
When you preset BeoSystem 1 to
switch itself on or off at a particular
time, or when you preset a timed
recording of a programme on a
connected BeoCord V 8000 video
tape recorder, the clock ensures that
these features are switched on and
off at the right times.
The simplest way to set the clock is
to synchronise it with a tuned TV
channel’s teletext service via the
Clock menu. If you choose to
synchronise the clock, this is done
with the teletext service offered by
the TV channel you are currently
watching. If a teletext service is not
available, you can set the clock
manually.
Before synchronising the clock with a tuned
channel, make sure that the channel you are
watching of fers a teletext ser vice.

Maintenance of BeoSystem 1
49
Regular maintenance, such as
cleaning BeoSystem 1, is the
responsibility of the user. To achieve
the best result, follow the
instructions to the right. Contact your
Bang & Olufsen retailer to determine
recommendations for regular
maintenance.
Any defective parts are covered by
the guarantee during the warranty
period.
Cleaning surfaces…
Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft
cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dirt
with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth,
dipped in a solution of water containing only
a few drops of mild detergent, such as
washing-up liquid.
Cleaning the Beo4
Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft,
lint-free, firmly wrung cloth.
Changing the batteries…
When ‘BATTERY’ appears in the Beo4 display,
it is time to change the batteries in the
remote control.
The Beo4 requires three batteries. We
recommend that you use Alkaline batteries
only (1.5 volt – size A AA). Replace the
batteries as shown on this page. Keep a
finger on top of the batteries until the lid is
replaced.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean
any part of BeoSystem 1!
