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.

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.

Warning: Prolonged listening at a high volume
level may cause hearing damages!

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.

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

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.

47

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.
