The Guide

This Guide contains all information you need to get the full benefit of your 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 is 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 PDFformat. To read this PDF-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 document opens.

If your television is equipped with the optional surround sound module you can extend your system into a fully equipped Home Theatre system by connecting four Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2 subwoofer*.

When you switch on one of the sources in your television, speakers in a surround sound system can be cut in or out, depending on what kind of sound suits the source you are using.

Your television may switch on a speaker combination automatically. This happens if a broadcasted programme contains information about the number of speakers to be switched on. You are still free to choose the speaker combination you prefer.

If you select a channel and the broadcaster offers a teletext service, the television gives you access to teletext pages and any subpages linked to the pages.

To make your favourite teletext pages appear first when you bring up teletext, store them as memory pages.

When you store the teletext subtitles page as memory page number four, you can activate subtitles for that particular channel automatically.

14		See two sources at the same time

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…

Pressing TEXT on Beo4 cancels dual-screen viewing and attempts to access teletext for the source shown in picture A. If there is no teletext service available for this source, the screen turns blank.

*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.

If you select a channel that offers a teletext service, your television gives you access to teletext pages.

In addition, the television supports three extra teletext functions: text enlargement for easy reading, placement of a teletext page over a TV picture, and display of hidden text, such as the answer to a quiz or joke.

The television can also notify you when a desired page has been found or updated. This is useful for example if you want to see the latest news headlines while watching TV.

If your teletext broadcaster offers a Fastext service, you can use the coloured buttons on Beo4 to step to one of four linked teletext pages.

Basic teletext functions are described on page 12.
