Set up your television

Set up your television – introduction

The television must be set up by qualified service personnel according to the guide for the stand or bracket. The television has several placement options. Guidelines for placement and connection must be followed.

To ensure proper ventilation, allow enough space around the screen. At overheating (flashing standby indicator and an on-screen warning), switch the television to standby, do not disconnect from the mains, in order for the television to cool down. You cannot operate the television during this time.

WARNING! Do not lift or otherwise move your television physically when it is mounted on the floor stand. It could cause the TV screen to break. Contact your retailer.

If your television is mounted on the table stand, make sure it is placed on a table that can handle the heavy weight of the television and the table stand.

Placement

The television has several placement options.

Refer to www.bang-olufsen.com for available stands and wall brackets or contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer. Depending on your television size, different stands are available. Due to the weight of the television, any moving or lifting of the television should be performed by qualified personnel – using the proper equipment.

Handling

The television is not designed to stand on its own. It must be supported until mounted either by the packaging or the transportation feet. To prevent injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved brackets or stands only!

Stands and wall brackets

Set the maximum angle the television will turn on the motorised floor stand or wall bracket. Remember to leave enough space around the television to allow it to turn freely. If your television is mounted on the motorised table stand, it can be slightly tilted to avoid disturbing reflections. For more information, press the red button in the on-screen help and find 'Set a stand position'.

If the television is to be moved when mounted on the floor stand, it must be moved by qualified personnel. Also, it is important that the stand is set in transport mode. When placed in a new position, the stand must be calibrated again. Bring up Settings, then

Stand to set it up again.

Overview

Locate the connection panel and other important items:

1. Holes for mounting of a wall bracket.

2. Holes for mounting of a stand.

3. Covers for the connection panel. Slide the covers to the sides to reveal the connection panel.

4. Standby indicator.

Depending on your setup, different stand or wall bracket covers may be used. See the guide for your stand or wall bracket for information on how to mount such covers.

Run cables

Gather the cables from the upper and lower part of the panel, fasten them with cable ties and run them upwards or downwards behind the cable holders depending on wall bracket or stand placement. See the illustrated example.

When mounted on a motorised stand or wall bracket, make sure that there is enough slack in the cables to allow the television to turn to either side or tilt before you fasten the cables with cable ties to make a neat bundle.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, is the responsibility of the user.

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any parts of the television.

Screen

Use a mild window cleaning fluid and lightly clean the screen without leaving streaks or traces. Some micro-fibre cloths may harm the optical coating due to their strong abrasive effect.

Cabinet and controls

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. To remove stains or dirt, use a soft, damp cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.

However, if a 4:3 source signals a wrong aspect ratio, the picture will be stretched horizontally. Auto wide: Reduces black bars at the top and bottom. Furthermore, the picture is scaled and stretched horizontally to reduce black bars on the left and right and to fill out as much of the screen as possible.

Note, that you can select additional picture formats in the Options menu found in LIST on your remote control.

If Auto or Auto wide do not give a satisfactory result due to incorrect format information from the source, you can select additional picture formats in the Options menu found in LIST on your remote control. Select one of the formats Fixed A – Fixed D until you obtain the optimum picture format. When you have selected Fixed C or Fixed D, you can use  and  to move the picture up and down.

Picture corrections

You can make brightness and contrast corrections as well as shift and zoom the picture horizontally and vertically on the TV screen to avoid any unwanted areas being visible on the screen. The options available depends on the source selected.

Auto selection

If available for the connected source, select if the source should be selected automatically as soon as the television detects a signal, provided the television is on at the time.

Audio level

Set the audio level of the connected source. This also enables you to align the audio level of the different products connected to the television.

Blanking

If available for the connected source, select for how long the TV screen should display a blank screen before it displays the signal of the connected product. If, for example, a connected set-top box requires some time to start up, you can set the 'blanking' time to ensure that the picture is ready before it is displayed on the television.

BeoRemote lists

Select if a source should be present in the list of video sources in your remote control display when you press TV, in the list of music sources when you press MUSIC, in both lists or in none of them.

Note that if you select None, the selected source will not be visible in the TV and Music lists on your remote control.

If you have connected and configured a source to a specific socket on the television and then disconnect the source permanently, you must reset the source settings. Highlight the source in the Source list menu, press  and select Reset to default. When you select Yes, the source is no longer configured to this socket. Next time you connect a source to the socket, you are asked to configure the source.

Watch 3D television

You can enhance the experience of watching television with 3D technology, for example, when you want to watch movies, sports or nature films.

Important health and safety information for 3D pictures

Some viewers may experience discomfort while watching 3D television such as dizziness, nausea and headaches. If you experience such symptoms, stop watching 3D television, remove the 3D glasses and rest. Watching 3D television for an extended period of time may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop watching 3D television, remove the 3D glasses and rest. If you use eye glasses or contact lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them. Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes. Adults should supervise children watching 3D television and ensure that they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. It is recommended that children under 3 years do not watch 3D television.

If two sources are brought up on the screen at the same time or if teletext is brought up in one picture and a source in the other, the television will always display a 2D mode.

Subtitles may not always be supported.

Viewing conditions

Place yourself in front of the screen, a little closer than when you normally watch 2D television, and use the 3D glasses. The recommended distance between your viewing position and the screen depends on the size of the screen and the picture resolution. If you move too far to the left or right of the centre of the screen, or if you move too far up or down, the quality of 3D television decreases.

You will get the best 3D experience if you darken the room, for example, switch off the lights and draw the curtains. Especially lights behind and around the screen can cause an irritating effect. We recommend not to watch 3D television in direct sunlight or bright surroundings.

Activate 3D or 2D television

To watch films or other programmes suited for 3D, you must activate the 3D function and put on the activated 3D glasses that are available from your retailer. Switch to 2D mode again to watch television that is not suited for 3D, for example, the news.

You activate 2D and 3D television via the LIST button. If 3D signalling is available, the television automatically switches to 3D when you select 3D and to 2D when you select 2D. If 3D signalling is not available, a menu for 3D or 2D mode selection appears in the display.

If 3D signalling is no longer available, the television automatically switches to the last used mode for the current source. At channel and source change, the television switches to Standard 2D.

If you stop an app and return to the Home menu, the app is not really stopped. The app is still running in the background to be readily available when you start it again. To run fluently, most apps need to save some data in the cache memory of the television. It may be a good idea to stop an app completely or clear the cache data of a particular app to optimise the overall performance of apps and to keep memory usage low on your television. Also, it is best to uninstall apps that you are not using anymore.

In the Home menu, select Settings, Generel settings then Android settings to access a function for managing apps and other functions, for example, about storage capacity.

For more information about androis settings, press the red button and find 'Android
