CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No User-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric

shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

This symbol indicates that a dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.

Caution

To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarised plug on the BeoSystem 1 with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet, unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Complete all the connections in your setup before connecting any appliance to the AC outlet. Note: Your BeoSystem 1 operates on a normal household current (120 volts, 60Hz) and has a polarised plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than the other, the plug fits in the wall outlet only one way. Do not defeat the safety feature of this plug. If you need an extension, use a polarised cord.

Note to Cable-TV installer

This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

BeoSystem 1 – control, choice and performance

BeoSystem 1 gives you enjoyment of excellent picture and sound in a system that adapts to your needs.

BeoSystem 1 integrates audio and video and puts control of it all in your hand in the form of Beo4 – a remote control that exemplifies ease of use.

Beo4 gives you immediate access to all the entertainment sources in your home: TV and Satellite programmes, a DVD or CD player, a VCR, an audio cassette player or radio, all with one touch of a button.

BeoSystem 1 fits into any type of viewing or listening environment. Whether you prefer a plasma screen for family room viewing, or a projector for use in a Home Theatre environment, the choice is yours. Connect three sets of active BeoLab loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2 subwoofer for genuine surround sound.

Page 19

To facilitate remote control operation of your BeoSystem 1 and all connected equipment, you must connect the IR receiver to BeoSystem 1.

The IR receiver is a kind of ‘eye’, which is cabable of receiving signals from your Beo4 remote control and sending them to BeoSystem 1. BeoSystem 1 then sends the appropriate control signals to your screen, projector or other connected equipment.

Connect the IR receiver

When mounting the IR receiver in a setup with a plasma screen, make sure to place the receiver on the same wall as the screen. If the IR receiver is placed incorrectly, the light emitted by the screen can impede remote control operation of BeoSystem 1!

To connect the IR receiver…

> Detach the IR receiver’s rear cover (unscrew the

two (C) screws and loosen the two (D) screws, then lift off the cover).

> Cut the included cable to the required length

and strip the cable.

> Insert the cable end through the cable clamp (E)

and connect the leads to the terminals inside the receiver in the order indicated. Tighten the clamp.

> Attach the rear cover and fasten the IR receiver

to the wall as described below.

> Connect the cable to the IR RECEIVER socket on

the BeoSystem 1 top connection panel.

To fasten the IR receiver to the wall…

> Using the wall bracket as a template, mark and

drill two holes in the wall.

> Using the two screws and wall plugs supplied

(A), fasten the wall bracket to the wall.

> When you have mounted the receiver cable (as

described above), hang the receiver on the wall bracket and then secure it with screw (B).

> Fasten the cable to the wall and run it to the

BeoSystem 1.

A BeoSystem 1 surround sound setup fits easily into your living room.

Let your choice of a listening and viewing position be determined by the location of the screen, rather than by the sound.

Preset the distances to each speaker from this favourite position, that is, measure the distance to each speaker. The surround sound experience will be optimal as long as you remain within the area created by the speakers.

In a surround sound setup, you must perform a speaker balance calibration, i.e. balance the sound between the speakers. This procedure is described on page 27.

Loudspeaker connections – surround sound

Place loudspeakers

It is important that you find out where to place your loudspeakers before you start connecting them to BeoSystem 1. Once they are connected, then you can make the presets necessary to give you the ultimate sound experience.

The three diagrams to the right are examples of surround sound placements in various types and sizes of rooms.

The following applies for all speaker setups:

– The best placement for the rear speakers is on

either side behind your favourite listening position.

– The front and rear sets of speakers do not

necessarily have to be placed in the corners of the room.

– Always use your most powerful speakers as your

front speakers.

– Place centre speakers in front of your screen to

ensure an optimal sound experience.

– If you connect a subwoofer, refer to the

subwoofer’s own user’s guide for information about placement possibilities.

Page 27

Connect loudspeakers

Using the cables enclosed with the loudspeakers*, connect the speakers to the BeoSystem 1 rear connection panel. The front, center and rear sets of loudspeakers must be from the Bang & Olufsen range of Power Link speakers. However, you are not restricted to the speaker models shown in the illustration. For more information concerning sockets on BeoSystem 1, please refer to Connection

panels on BeoSystem 1.

> Connect the two front loudspeakers to the

sockets marked FRONT.

> Connect the two rear loudspeakers to the

sockets marked REAR.

> Connect both centre speakers to the socket

marked CENTRE in the following manner: Connect one loudspeaker to its counterpart, and connect the second loudspeaker to the CENTRE socket on BeoSystem 1. You can also use this looping method when connecting your front or rear loudspeakers. Refer to the guide enclosed with your speakers for more information about ‘looping’ your loudspeakers.
