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 prompt your television to divide the screen between the current programme or recording (picture A) 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 the sound for picture A, while other Beo4 operations, such as selecting channels, affect picture B. Choosing a new source cancels dual­screen viewing.
While watching for example TV…

function…

*In order to display P-IN-P or P-
V.AUX on Beo4, you must add
them to the Beo4 list of functions. For further information, refer to the chapter
‘Customise Beo4’ on the CD-rom.

Set the time and date

The television has a built-in 24-hour clock that displays the time on request.
When you preset your television 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 service.

Handling your television

Due to the weight of the television, any moving /lifting of the system should always be done by two persons.
The television has two recesses for lif ting the system. The illustration to the right shows the placement of each recess.
Do not attempt to lift the television holding on to any other parts of the cabinet or rear panel!
If you place the television on its side to mount the optional motorised base or stand, take care not to damage the floor or table when raising the television to the upright position.

Place your television in your home

– Avoid placing your television in direct sunlight
or direct artificial light (such as a spotlight), as this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote control receiver.
– Make sure that the television is set up, placed
and connected in accordance with this Guide.
– The television is developed for indoor use in dry,
domestic environments only, and for use within
a temperature range of 10– 40ºC (50–105ºF). – Do not place any items on top of the television. – Do not attempt to open the television. Leave
such operations to qualified service personnel. – Always place your television on a firm and
stable sur face. If placed on soft, heavy carpets,
it must be duly protected against overturning. – If your television is placed on a Bang & Olufsen
stand with castors, it must always be moved
with the utmost caution. Special care must be
taken when the television on its stand is moved
over uneven surfaces or obstacles, for example
a carpet or a cable on the floor. – The optional motorised base or stand turns the
television to a preset position when you switch
it on.
When lifting and moving the television, grip the recess (A) with one hand while steadying the television with the other hand at the top corner of the speaker.
If placed on a motorised base or stand (optional accessories), leave enough space around the television to allow it to turn freely. The television can also be turned by hand.

Overview of socket and connection panels
The illustration show the placement of the various socket and connec tion panels on the television:
1 Mains connection 2 Connection for a motorized stand 3 AV and aerial socket panel 4 Loudspeaker and digital input socket panel 5 For future use 6 Close-up socket panel
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons, make sure to fasten the mains lead to the television using the cable brackets as shown. If this is not done, the lead can be tugged free of the socket.
Mains lead: The supplied mains lead and plug are specially designed for the TV. If you change the plug or in any way damage the mains lead, it will affect the TV picture adversely!
Mounting the speaker cover: Gripping the corners of the speaker cover frame with your fingers, push it inwards with your palms until the speaker cover clicks into place. Check all the contact points to ensure that the cover is securely in place.
The cables should be handled with care. When running any cable, avoid bending it sharply or twisting it. Avoid subjecting the cables to pressure or impact.

Complete connections

When you set the television up on its own, simply connect the aerial and connect the system to the mains. If you wish to connect any other equipment, refer to the pages 43–45 as well as the chapter ‘Register and use additional video equipment’ on page 32.
Aerial connection
Using an aerial cable, connect your external aerial (or a cable TV network) to the socket marked VHF/UHF on the television’s rear socket panel.
Mains connection
Using the mains lead supplied, connect one end to the socket marked ~ on the rear of the television, then plug the other end into a wall socket.
Your television was designed to be left in standby mode when not in use. Therefore, to facilitate remote control operation, etc., it is essential that you leave the mains switch on.
However, if you are going to connect speakers, an audio system or any other equipment to the television, do not connect it to the mains yet!
After you connect and fasten the cables as explained on the previous page, you can connect the television to the mains. Switch on the mains switch on the front of the television. A tiny, red light appears. The system is in standby mode and ready to be used.

Maintenance of your television

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the television, 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 cabinet surfaces…

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dir t with a sof t, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in a solution of water containing only a few drops of mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the television!

About the contrast screen…

To clean the picture screen, use a mild window cleaning fluid to clean the screen. To retain the optimum performance of the screen, make sure that no streak s or traces of the cleaning fluid are left on the screen.
To avoid soiling the speaker cover when you clean the screen, we recommend that you remove the speaker cover beforehand.
Speaker cover cleaning instructions…
> Dissolve 25 grams of detergent without optical
whitening /brightening and bleaching agent into
1 litre of hand warm water (40°C). > Apply the soap solution onto the speaker cover
with a soft sponge. > The speaker cover must be soaked completely
with the soap solution. > Leave the soap solution on the speaker cover for
approximately half an hour and then rinse it
thoroughly under running water. > Let the speaker cover dry on a flat and plane
surface. Make sure the speaker cover is placed
front side down when drying.
To remove the speaker cover:
Gripping the top corners of the cover with your fingers, push inward on the screen with your thumbs until the speaker cover clicks free of the screen. Repeat the procedure with the lower corners of the cover, if necessar y.
To mount the speaker cover: Gripping the corners of the speaker cover frame with your fingers, push it inwards with your palms until the speaker cover clicks into place. Check all the contact points to ensure that the cover is securely in place.
NOTE! If the front screen glass should crack or chip, or if it should be damaged in any way, it must be replaced immediately, as it could otherwise cause injury. You can order replacement front screen glass from your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

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 1.5 volt (size A AA) Alkaline batteries only. 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 for about 10 seconds until ‘TV’ appears in the display. The Beo4 remote control is then ready to operate again.
