BeoRemote has a short built-in guide which describes basic functions (found under SETTINGS).

Note that first-time setup must be performed using a Beo4/Beo6 remote control. BeoRemote requires that your television is set up in a network.

1*BeoRemote supports tablets with iOS (most recent iOS version).

Set positions for the television to turn to

If your television is equipped with the optional motorised stand, you can turn it using the remote control.

Furthermore, you can set the television to turn automatically to face your favourite viewing position when you switch on the television. It can turn to a different position when you listen to, for example, a connected radio, and turn away to a standby position when you switch it off. You can also set up other stand positions for other listening or viewing positions.

Preset stand positions

Choose one position for when you switch the television on, one for audio mode, and one for when you switch it off. You can also preset stand positions of your own choice, for example, when you sit in an armchair reading or when you sit at the dining table.

SETUP

If you wish to store the current stand position in an empty stand position field, you just press the centre button when you have selected the field. Then you can name the stand position.

You cannot rename or delete the STANDBY, VIDEO and AUDIO stand positions. Also you cannot name fields where no stand positions are set. Empty fields are shown by <…>. In some languages, you must choose between predefined names.

Calibrate the motorised movement

If your setup includes a motorised stand, you will during first-time setup be prompted to calibrate the outer positions of the motorised movement. The motorised movement of the television will not work until the calibration process has been completed. If the television is placed differently later on, for example, in a corner, it may be necessary to calibrate the motorised movement again.

SETUP

STAND

STAND ADJUSTMENT

The calibration process allows you to set the maximum angle the television will turn – left and right.

Digital channels

If you want to watch coded channels, contact your service provider. The service provider will register you as an authorised viewer, usually requiring payment. You will then be provided with a Smart Card and a CA Module. Note that these will only be valid for one service provider and therefore only work with certain channels.

CHIPSIDE

COMMON INTERFACE

The CA module is a ‘card reader’ for your Smart Card which decodes the coded signals sent out by the service provider. Only uncoded digital channels, also known as ‘free-to-air’ channels, are available without Smart Cards and CA Modules.

Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer for information about compatible CA Modules.

The Smart Cards must remain in the CA Modules, unless your service provider asks you to remove it. This is important in case your service provider wishes to send new information to your Smart Card.

Insert a Smart Card carefully into a CA Module. The CA Module has one protruding edge on one side and two protruding edges on the other side. If the television does not receive any signal, check that the Smart Card and CA Modules are inserted correctly.

Smart Cards and CA Modules may also give access to special menus which are not described here. If this is the case, follow the instructions from your service provider.
