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.

*NOTE! Refer to the BeoVision 5 CD-rom and the chapter Loudspeaker setup – surround sound for further information.

If you select a channel and the broadcaster offers a Teletext service, BeoVision 5 gives you access to Teletext pages, any subpages linked to that page, and also four memory pages for storage of your most frequently viewed Teletext pages.

Stored memory pages are the first to appear when you call up Teletext on the screen, and Beo4 makes it easy to move quickly from page to page.

If you save the Teletext subtitles page as memory page number four, you can activate subtitles for that particular channel automatically.

If you want to record additional programmes, you can continue to highlight listed programmes with the cursor.

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.

Refer to the video tape recorder’s own user’s guide for further information.
