Before you start…

Two guides are enclosed with the

BeoVision Avant: A User’s guide and a

Setting-up guide.

This User’s guide explains how to tune and preset your BeoVision Avant and operate the various other functions offered by the television, using the Beo4 remote control.

Most of the functions described in this guide are accompanied by a set of buttons which guide you through the operation step-by-step. Illustrations of the menus you will be calling up for a particular operation are also included.

In order to start operating the BeoVision Avant as described in this guide, it is essential that you follow the instructions in the Setting-up guide carefully.

The Setting-up guide explains how to set the BeoVision Avant up and make it ready for use. The Setting-up guide also includes maintenance instructions and other vital pieces of information which you may need from time to time.

Your Beo4 remote control commands are registered by a small receiver in the BeoVision Avant display bar, placed on top of the BeoVision Avant in the upper right hand corner.

Beo4 and BeoVision Avant

Before you start operating BeoVision Avant, it may be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Beo4 principles of operation.

Your BeoVision Avant television is designed for remote operation using the Beo4 remote control.

Beo4 integrates remote operation of your BeoVision Avant and of the basic, daily functions in recent Bang & Olufsen audio systems.

Daily operations are carried out via the Beo4 remote control. The Beo4 display reads the name of the source you are watching and/or listening to.

Additional functions can be obtained via the Beo4 display, see the following page.

The somewhat more advanced functions in the BeoVision Avant are guided by menus which you can call up on the screen (see pages 6-7).

Note: A few basic functions can be operated directly on the small operation panel on the back of the BeoVision Avant display bar. Please refer to

BeoVision Avant close-up pages 50-51 for further information.

Nice to know about Beo4 buttons...

Beo4 operating principles

The Beo4 remote control is divided into 5 areas. Each area have their own dedicated functions.

The buttons are arranged so that your operation of the various functions in BeoVision Avant is made as simple and clear as possible. The display reads out which source you are controlling, but if you press the LIST button, the cue on the display changes*.

Please refer to the illustration of the Beo4 remote control and accompanying texts to the right of this page for a further explanation of the 5 areas.

*Note: If a cue is mentioned in this guide and you cannot find it in the display on your Beo4 remote control, please refer to Extra functions in Beo4, page 49 in this guide for information about how to add that particular cue or ‘button’.

The Beo4 display tells you which source you are operating. But it is also used for calling up extra functions.

BeoVision Avant has a built-in, 24-hour clock which ensures that your Timer programming entries are carried out correctly. You can set and synchronise the BeoVision Avant clock with the Teletext time transmitted by e.g. a national TV program.

To set and synchronise the time…

Switch on to the national TV station that you want to synchronise with, make sure that it transmits Teletext. Then call up the Clock menu and make sure the item Synch is set to the program number you want.

To set the clock yourself…

If you do not want to synchronise the clock with Teletext; the item Synch must read No. You then set the clock yourself. Use the number keys to key in the correct time.

Showing the clock permanently…

To show the time on the BeoVision Avant display whenever it is switched on, set the item Display in the menu to Yes. Brief feedback on the display for any operation you carry out will of course still be displayed.

Showing the time on request…

If you do not want the time displayed when the system is switched on, Display must read No. Now you can call up the clock on request. Press LIST until CLOCK is displayed, then press GO to see the time.

Presetting your favourite stand positions

BeoVision Avant’s motorised stand, enables you to turn the television using your Beo4 remote control.

When you switch the television off, it automatically reverts to a neutral standby position (0), unless you store a particular standby position.

You can preset two viewing angles (stand positions 1 and 2), and a suitable standby position (0) for the television*. The BeoVision Avant then automatically turns towards the position you instruct it to turn to.

When you now switch on BeoVision Avant, it will now turn to your favourite preset position (1). You can now choose which preset position to turn it to, 2, 0, or 1 again.

*Note: Instead of pressing ss and tt to chose viewing angles, you may turn the BeoVision Avant to the position you want manually.
