V MEM
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 video tape 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.
Volume adjustment with Beo4 always affects picture A, while other Beo4 operations, such as selecting programs, affect picture B. Choosing a new source cancels dual-screen viewing.
While watching, for example, TV ... Press repeatedly to display P-AND-P on Beo4
Press, for example, V MEM to select the source to view on the right side of the screen (B)
Press 0 to swap the left picture and right picture
To leave the dual-screen function ... Press to leave the function and TV return to normal TV viewing
Pressing TEXT on Beo4 brings up teletext on the right hand side of the screen for the source shown in picture B. If there is no teletext service available for this source, the screen turns black.
To view a source registered in the 'Connections' menu as V.AUX, such as a set-top box, press LIST repeatedly until P-V.AUX* is shown in the Beo4 display instead.
You can view two HDMI sources at the same time, but only if one of the sources is connected to either the HDMI A or HDMI B socket, and the other source is connected to either the HDMI C or HDMI D socket. For further information about the HDMI sockets, refer to the chapter 'Socket panels' on page 10 in the Reference book.
*NOTE! In order to display P-V.AUX on Beo4, you must add it to the Beo4 list of functions. For further information, refer to the chapter ' Customise Beo4 ' on page 46 In the Reference book.

Use connected video equipment with Beo4
The built-in Peripheral Unit Controller acts as an interpreter between connected video equipment, such as a set-top box, video recorder or DVD player, and the Beo4 remote control.
You can use the Beo4 remote control to gain access to the channels and functions offered by your equipment.
Some functions are available via Beo4 when you switch on the equipment. Additional functions are available through a Peripheral Unit Controller menu that you bring up on the screen.
For instruction in the various functions offered by your equipment, please refer to the product's own user's guide.
For further information about supported equipment, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

The pincode system
The pincode system is intended to make normal use of your BeoSystem impossible for someone who does not know the pincode. You choose whether or not to activate the pincode system.
When the pincode system is activated and the system has been disconnected from the mains for 15– 30 minutes, the pincode system goes into effect.
When reconnected and switched on, the system automatically switches itself off after four minutes. Entering the pincode returns the system to normal.

Maintenance of your system
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, 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.
Cleaning
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the system!
Cabinet 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.
Beo4
Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lintfree, firmly wrung cloth.
Plasma screen
Clean only with the dry, soft cloth included with the screen. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Do not allow still pictures to be displayed on the screen for an extended period of time, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. Examples of still pictures are logos, video games, computer images, and images displayed in 4:3 picture format.
Changing the Beo4 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 V – size AAA). Replace the batteries as shown on this page. Keep a finger on top of the batteries until the lid is replaced.
When you have replaced the batteries, you must wait about 10 seconds until TV appears in the display. The Beo4 remote control is then ready for use.
CAUTION! Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like!
