Before you start…

– Make sure that your products are set up,
placed and connected in accordance with this Guide.
– Do not place any items on top of
BeoSystem 2 or the screen.
– Your products are developed for indoor
use in dry, domestic environments only, and for use within a temperature range of 10– 40 ºC (50–105ºF).
– Do not attempt to open your products.
Leave such operations to qualified service personnel.
BeoSystem 2:
– Place BeoSystem 2 in the Cabinet. If you do
not wish to use the Cabinet, make sure that there is sufficient space around BeoSystem 2 for ventilation.
– Always place BeoSystem 2 on a firm and
stable surface.
The plasma screen:
– Due to the weight of the screen, any
moving or lifting of the screen should be done by two persons.
– When lifting the screen, grip the top and
bottom edges.
– Carry the screen in such a way that it is in
an upright position at all times.
– If you must put the screen down at any
time prior to placing it, we recommend that you rest it in an upright position on its bottom edge on a stable, flat surface. The
screen is not designed to stand on its own. It must be supported until mounted on the wall bracket!
– The picture can be distorted at altitudes
where the air pressure is lower than 833 hPa (approximately 1500 metres or higher).
– When mounting the screen in the wall
bracket, leave a space of about 10 centimetres at the top, bot tom and sides.

Mount and connect the IR receiver

To facilitate remote control operation of BeoVision 4 and all connected equipment, you must connect the IR receiver to BeoSystem 2.
The IR receiver is a kind of ‘eye’ which is capable of receiving signals from your Beo4 remote control and sending them to BeoSystem 2. BeoSystem 2 then sends the appropriate control signals to your plasma screen or other connected equipment.
>> Set up BeoVision 4 and BeoSystem 2
When mounting the IR receiver, make sure to place the receiver on the same wall as the screen. If the IR receiver is placed incorrectly, the light emitted by the screen can impede remote control operation of BeoVision 4!
When you have mounted the IR receiver as shown on this page, connect it to the IR IN socket on BeoSystem 2.

If longer cables are necessary, they are available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
The two plugs at each end of the cable only
match specific sockets, so it is not possible to connec t the cables incorrec tly if you follow the procedure described below:
– Connect one 15-pin plug to the RGB socket on
BeoSystem 2 and the 9-pin plug at the same
end to the RS232 socket on BeoSystem 2.
– Connect the 15-pin plug at the opposite end to
the PC IN socket on the screen, and the 9-pin
plug at the same end to the SERIAL socket on
the screen.
– Connect the IR receiver to the appropriate IR-IN
socket on BeoSystem 2.
– Connect the two mains cords to the appropriate
sockets on BeoSystem 2 and the screen, but do
not connect them to the mains yet!
It is necessary to secure the mains cord in the cable bands, as shown in the diagram. Otherwise, the mains cord can be tugged free of the socket.

Aerial and mains connection

Make sure that BeoSystem 2 and the screen are placed properly before connecting the system.
> Connect the screen to the mains. > Connect the aerial to the socket marked VHF/
UHF on BeoSystem 2.
> Connect BeoSystem 2 to the mains.
If you have not yet connected speakers, or you wish to connect any other equipment to BeoSystem 2, do not connect to the mains yet!
When connections are complete…
Switch on the mains switch on the back of BeoSystem 2. The system is in standby mode and ready to be used. You can now begin tuning in channels, as explained in ‘Tune in TV channels’ on page 26 in the Guide.
BeoVision 4 was designed to be left in standby mode when not in use. Therefore, to facilitate remote control operation, it is essential that you leave the mains switch on.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, 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.
Cleaning 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. These cleaning instructions apply to any stand or wall bracket as well.
About the plasma screen…
Clean only with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Do not allow still pictures to be displayed on the screen for an ex tended period of time, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. Examples of still pictures are logos, video games, computer images, and images displayed in 4:3 picture format.
Cleaning the Beo4 remote control
Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth.
Changing the Beo4 batteries…
When ‘BATTERY’ appears in the Beo4 display, it is time to change the batteries in the remote control.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of BeoVision 4!
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. Please contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
The Beo4 requires three batteries. Use 1.5 volt (size AA A) 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 for use again.

Calibrate the sound level

When you have connected the necessar y speakers in a surround sound setup to BeoSystem 2, you have to perform a speaker calibration.
A calibration sound is produced alternately in each of the speakers you have connected in your surround sound setup. Your task is to adjust the sound level from all the connected speakers to match the sound level from the centre speakers. You can choose whether you want the sound sequence to occur auto­matically or manually.
Once you have performed your speaker calibration, you only need to re-calibrate the speaker sound if you make changes to the setup, for example, if you move one or more of the speakers.
It is not necessary to calibrate subwoofer sound in a surround sound setup. If you still wish to adjust subwoofer sound when your speaker calibration is complete, refer to the chapter ‘Adjust picture and sound settings’ on page 35 in the Guide.

BeoLink – distribute sound and picture

The BeoLink system makes it possible
to distribute picture and/or sound to other rooms throughout the house.
For example, you can connect BeoSystem 2 to another video system or set of speakers in another room, thereby making it possible to ‘move’ the picture or sound to other rooms.
If you have a BeoLink distribution system installed, you can use BeoVision 4 in the main room, such as a living room, or in a link room, such as a study or bedroom.
The system modulator ensures that
video sources can be distributed to the link room. Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to enter modulator settings.

Link connections

The main room system must be connected to the link room system with a Master Link cable:
> Connect the Master Link cable to the socket
marked MASTER LINK on BeoSystem 2.
> If you want to distribute video signals as well,
connect an ordinary aerial cable to the socket marked LINK on BeoSystem 2.
> Run both cables to the link room and follow the
instructions enclosed with the link room equipment.
If the MASTER LINK socket on BeoSystem 2 already has an audio system connected, the Master Link cable must be split in two and joined with the cable from the link room using a special junction box. Consult your Bang & Olufsen retailer for assistance.
