The Guide and the Reference book
This Guide contains all the information you need to get the full benefit of your
Bang & Olufsen products. The Reference book contains information about
connecting and operating external equipment, as well as an overview of on-screen
menus.
We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your products.
However, the information required to install and set them up is included in the
Guide and the Reference book. This is useful if you move your products or expand
your system at a later date.
The Guide and the Reference book both contain an index which can help you find
the specific subject you want to know more about.

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 divide the screen
between the current programme or
recording (picture A in the second
illustration) 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 picture A, while other Beo4
operations, such as selecting
channels, affect picture B. Choosing
a new source cancels dual-screen
viewing.
While watching, for example,
TV…
Press repeatedly to display

Press, for example, V MEM to
select a source to view on the
right side of the screen (B)
Press 0 to swap the left picture

Pressing TEXT on Beo4 cancels
