The User’s guides
This Guide contains all the information you need to know about your Bang &
Olufsen product.
We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your
product. However, the information required to install and set up the product is
included in the Guide and on the CD-rom. This might be useful if you move
your product or expand your system at a later date.
The Guide and the CD-rom both contain an index which can help you find the
specific subject you want to know more about.
The enclosed CD-rom contains a file in PDF-format.
To read this file, the Acrobat Reader program must
be installed on your computer. If you do not have
the program, it can be installed from the CD-rom.
Then select the file with the language you want,
and the Reference book opens.
