The User’s guides
This Guide contains information about daily use, more advanced operations as
well as basic setup and maintenance of your product.
The CD-rom Reference book contains information about connecting
loudspeakers, adjusting loudspeaker setup, connecting external equipment,
connecting an audio system and setting up and operating a BeoLink system. It also
contains an overview of on-screen menus.
Both guides contain an index which can help you find the specific subject, you
want to know more about.
We expect that your Bang & Olufsen retailer delivers the product to your home,
installs it and makes all necessary connections as well as the initial setting-up.
However, the information required to install and set up the product is included in
the guides in case you need it at a later date if e.g. you move your products or
expand your system.
The Reference book is a file in PDF-format on the enclosed CD-rom. 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 Reference book opens.

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 BeoVision 5 or
one of the sources connected to it,
the speakers which you may have in
a surround sound system can be cut
in or out, depending on what kind of
sound suits the source you are using.
BeoVision 5 may switch on a speaker
combination automatically. This
happens if e.g. a broadcasted

If you want to record additional programmes, you

Note about PDC/VPS and recording
When PDC (Program Delivery Control) or VPS
(Video Programming System) is used, it means that
the broadcaster attaches a coded signal to every
programme they broadcast, ensuring that a
recording will be recorded in full, even though the
broadcasting of the programme in question was
delayed, causing start and stop times to change.
If PDC or VPS signals follow the broadcast
programmes you record, and the PDC/VPS facility
is set to On in the video tape recorder’s setup
menu, then the title of the programme you want
to record will be highlighted instead of the start
time. There is no need to consider start and stop
times, just accept the status line which appears
instead of the programme title. If necessary, you
can, of course, change the information displayed.
If PDC/VPS signals are not broadcast by the current
channel, your recordings are preset by start and
stop times, and will not adapt to broadcast delays
or extensions. You will see the times at the top of
the screen when you store a programme to be
recorded.

Set the time and date
BeoVision 5 has a built-in 24-hour
clock which must be set to the
correct date and time.
When you preset BeoVision 5 to
switch itself on or off at a particular
time, or when you preset a Timer
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
channel’s Teletext service via
BeoVision 5’s Clock menu. It is only
possible to synchronise the clock 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.
Enter settings for the built-in clock
Before synchronising the clock with a tuned
channel, make sure that the channel in
question offers a Teletext service.

Maintenance
Normal maintenance, such as
cleaning the BeoVision 5, is the
responsibility of the user. To achieve
the best result, follow the instructions
to the right.
Any defective parts are covered by
the guarantee during the warranty
period. Please consult your Bang &
Olufsen retailer to determine
recommendations for normal
maintenance.
Cleaning surfaces…
Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft
cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dirt
with a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in
a solution of water containing only a few
drops of mild detergent, such as washing-up
liquid.
About the plasma screen…
Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Do not allow still pictures to be displayed on
the screen for an extended 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.
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.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any
part of BeoVision 5!
