Make link connections

To distribute video signals to link rooms, it is

necessary to connect an RF Link Amplier to
the main room T V and a link room TV.*1

Connect and set up a BeoLink system

Connect and set up a BeoLink system to see pictures and hear sound in link

rooms. You can, for example, connect the living room TV to another video

system or to a set of speakers in another room.

Connect the Master Link cable to the
available socket marked MASTER LINK on the

TV.

To distribute video signals to link rooms,

connect an ordinary aerial cable to the socket
marked LINK TV on the main connection
panel. Then run the aerial cable to the RF Link

Amplier and the Master Link cable to the

link room. Follow the instructions enclosed
with the link room equipment.

Switch on the system modulator

If you have an audio setup, such as a BeoLink
Active/Passive, and you set up a non-linkable

TV in the same room, you must set the

system modulator to ‘ON’. The factory setting
is ‘AUTO’, which must be used if you are
using a linkable Bang & Olufsen TV.

Change the link channel

If, e.g., a TV channel in your area is broad­casted on the same channel as the factor y
setting for the BeoLink system; channel 66,
you must tune the system modulator to an
unoccupied channel.*2
