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 programme or DVD contains information about the number of speakers to be switched on. You are still free to choose the speaker combination you prefer.
You can also adjust the picture dimensions to fill out the screen and complete the Home theatre experience.

Press to store your Timer recording – RECORD is shown
If you want to record additional programmes, you can continue to highlight listed programmes with the cursor.
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.

The BeoVision 5 can be placed in several ways, some are illustrated to the right. Please contact a Bang & Olufsen retailer for further information.
Avoid placing your BeoVision 5 in direct sunlight or direct artificial light (e.g. a spotlight), as this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote control receiver. Do not place any items on top of the BeoVision 5.

Aerial and mains connection

Using an aerial cable, connect your external aerial (or a cable TV network) to the socket marked VHF/UHF on the BeoVision 5 rear socket panel.
If you are going to connect speakers, an audio system or any other equipment to BeoVision 5, do not switch on at the mains yet!
Warning!
The BeoVision 5 is equipped with a grounded mains lead and 3-pin plug. Due to the danger of electric chock it is advised not to remove the ground pin of the mains plug. This plug can only be connected to a grounded wall outlet. If a grounded wall outlet is not available, an electrician should be contacted.
When connections are complete…
…you can connect BeoVision 5 to the mains. A tiny, red light appears on top of the screen. The system is in standby mode and ready to be used. If your BeoVision 5 is set up on its own, you can now begin tuning in channels, as explained in Find available channels on page 30.

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!

You can protect your BeoVision 5 by entering a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) code. Should your BeoVision 5 be disconnected from the mains for more than approximately 30 minutes, only those who know your PIN-code can gain access to your BeoVision 5.
To activate the PIN-code system, to change your code or to delete it altogether, you must call up the PIN­code setup menu.
If you should lose or forget your code, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer for a Master code that disables your PIN-code and gives you access to your BeoVision 5.
