The Bang & Olufsen Video System MX comprises the Beovision MX 5500 TV-set, the Beosat LM satellite module, the Beocord VX 5000 and the MS MX 55 motorised stand.
The Beolink 1000 is the key to the system. It offers you instant access to the video source of your choice – at the touch of a button.
The Beovision MX 3500 differs from the Beovision MX 5500 only in size and can be operated exactly as described in this guide.
User's guide
A WORLD WITHIN REACH
Note: Complete setting up and maintenance instructions for each unit in the Video System MX are found in the manual for that unit.
The manual enclosed with the Beocord VX 5000 describes all the functions in the video tape recorder – both remote controlled and close-up. You will find, however, that you can rely on this user's guide for all daily operations.
Be sure to keep the manuals enclosed with each unit. You will need them for cleaning and maintenance instructions, and for when you move or rearrange your Video System in the future.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Remote control
All operations can be carried out from your easy chair, using the Beolink 1000 remote control terminal.
For all daily operations you will only need to press one "text" button, followed sometimes by a number or symbol button.
> For example, choosing TV as source, starting with program 9
For less frequent operations, for example presetting sound levels, you will press a combination of buttons.
For operating via the on-screen display, you will use the four buttons with arrows « and » , < and > , the number buttons, plus PLAY and STOP.
Buttons on the Beolink 1000 are divided into groups:
On the top left-hand side are sources in a Bang & Olufsen video system
On the top right-hand side are sources in a Bang & Olufsen audio system
In the middle are control buttons (for example, you will control your instant recordings with RECORD)
These are action buttons
They may start an operation, give you access to another operation, move you along in an operation and so forth
This is your keyboard
Among other things, the two arrows < and > let you step through programmes in either direction
These buttons are for adjusting the picture and sound values and for switching off
The AV button shifts commands to the audio system (and back again) in an integrated Bang & Olufsen Beolink system

If the sound mode indicator is followed by a number (for example MONO-1 ), this means that you are watching a multi-language programme.
If there is no alternative to the sound mode you are currently listening to, the sound mode will not be indicated on the screen.
Note: The functions described in this paragraph require that the TV programme you are watching is transmitting in stereo and that your TV-set is equipped with a stereo decoder for reception of the stereo sound system used, that is A2 or NICAM.
Different sound modes can be stored on different program numbers. This means that when you switch to another program number, the TV-set will automatically switch to the sound mode you have stored on that number.

USING TELETEXT
What to use teletext for
Teletext is an information system transmitted by air which many TV and satellite stations use to distribute news, weather forecasts and other information of general interest.
Just like a book, it consists of a table of contents (the main index) and numbered pages which you can look up or step through.
The teletext function in this Video System enables you to make use of the "Fastext" facility provided by some teletext broadcasters. "Fastext" means that you can step directly to one of four different pages linked to the one currently being viewed. It helps you to find a logical path through the multiplicity of teletext pages.
(Or you can choose to specify your own favourite pages and store them in the memory for easy recall, as explained below).
les Switches to teletext Te ed To step through the memory pages or nt ....................................
r SATELLITE
You may leave teletext by selecting another source or switching to stand-by
Memorizing your favourite pages for easy recall
Whenever you switch to teletext, you gain access to the four memory pages. Each of these four pages is identified by the cue MEM and the number in question, e.g. MEM 1.
You can memorize any page of your choice in each of these pages.
Note: The facilities offered by teletext differ from country to country, and even from one teletext broadcaster to the other. For details about such special facilities we recommend that you consult the information distributed on-screen or on paper by your teletext broadcaster.
Note: Each of the 45 program numbers has its own four memory pages. This means that the four pages you store on one number may differ from the ones you store on another number.
The four pages 100, 200, 300 and 400 are the pages stored when the TV-set leaves the factory.

Basic teletext functions
The basic teletext functions are the following:
- enlarging the text on the screen
- revealing concealed text, e.g. answers on the riddles page
- watching TV and teletext simultaneously
- retaining a page on the screen which would otherwise change automatically
going to page 100 (index page) directly
These functions make it easier for you to handle and read the teletext pages and the information written on each page.
Don't forget to switch to teletext before using any of these functions.
Special teletext functions
Using the update function
The update function is used by the teletext broadcaster to announce that the information on a certain teletext page has been updated.
You can make use of this function, for instance when you are watching a TV programme and want to be told immediately changes occur on the news page.
Select the page for which you want an update reminder,
Press to see the TV picture
GO TO
The cue FOUND will appear on the screen to announce that the page has been found
Press again to ask for an update reminder
SHIFT
When the page has been updated, the cue UPDATE will appear
Press to see the page
Using the time function
The time function is also known as the subpage function or the subcode function. The name depends on the purpose it serves and how it is used by the individual teletext broadcasters.
Whatever its name or purpose, however, it is operated in the same way.
The time function enables you to call up a page at a specific time or, alternatively, to call up a subpage identified by a 4-digit subcode.
Note: This function may be available only on some teletext pages. Therefore, make sure to select a teletext page carrying such a time signal or subcode.

"Fastext"
The Fastext facility (also known as FLOF=Full Level One Feature) is a facility provided by some teletext broadcasters. It enables the user to step directly to one of four different pages linked to the one currently being viewed.
This reduces the access time to these immediate access pages to almost zero, and at the same time helps the user to find a logical path through the multiplicity of teletext pages.
Note: In order to make use of the Fastext facility you must first memorize a page to which other pages are linked in one of the four memory pages (see page 15).
The choice of immediate access pages is entirely at the discretion of the teletext broadcasters.

Tuning on to TV stations and storing them
Just like a radio, the Video System must be tuned to pick up the TV stations or channels available in your area.
For each station you want to pick up, you must first tune to the frequency used by the station, either by letting the system find it for you, or, if you know the exact frequency, by keying it in directly.
You will find a list of frequencies for all the channels available in Europe and Australia on page 28.
Note: The cues SYS: B, SYS:G and SYS:L, which appear during the tuning process, indicate which TV system the TV-set is set to: SYS:B and SYS:G for PAL I and PAL/SECAM B/G (B for VHF channels, G for UHF channels) and SYS:L for SECAM L. You may under very special circumstances have to switch manually between the systems. To do so, press SHIFT, then 3.
TV-sets sold in the UK are equipped to receive the PAL I TV system only, and they are not equipped to receive the PAL/SECAM B/G or SECAM L systems.
You don't have to tune the video separately! You will find that all the stations you have tuned to and stored following these instructions are automatically loaded down into the video on the same program numbers.
Once you have found a station, you must store it on a program number of your own choice. This means that you can access the stations directly by keying in your own program number, rather than by using the frequency number.
Note: If you tune to a station without storing it on a program number, the cue PROGRAM NOT STORED will appear briefly, telling you that the station will be lost if you switch to another program number or switch off.
You can store 45 different stations on program numbers of their own (1-45).
The program numbers 46-50 are prepared for special Local Control System setups. Please refer to your Bang & Olufsen dealer for further details.
While pressing the buttons < or > you will step through all your active program numbers, skipping those on which you haven't stored a program.
You can clear a program number, that is remove the information stored on it, by selecting the appropriate number, then pressing STORE, 0, STORE.
Naming stations
This function enables you to dub the stations you have found, that is give them a name by which you can identify them.
The name of your choice will be displayed on the screen whenever you press TV to ask for a status display on-screen. If you switch stations, the name of the station you switch to will also be displayed on-screen.
You can choose any name with up to 20 characters (letters or numbers).
Switch on to the program you want to name, > for example
Press three times to access the 3 x naming function
The cue PROGRAM NAME appears. The cursor (blinking) will be on the first of the 20 possible positions
Press repeatedly to reveal the letter or figure you want on this position

Press to step to the next character position
Repeat this procedure until you have filled in all the letters or numbers you want
Press twice to store the name for your chosen program number
STORE
Select other program numbers and repeat this procedure to name other programs
Fine tuning
Usually, fine tuning is not required because the TV-set automatically tunes to the best possible picture.
However, neighbouring channels may blur the picture slightly, in which case you may find the fine tuning facility useful.

This TV-set uses frequencies as reference for tuning. The advantage of this system is that you can select with great precision any frequency on which a TV station or cable TV is transmitting. Such built-in flexibility ensures that the TV-set can cope with variations in transmission practices. This list of frequencies gives you the usual channel designations and their corresponding frequencies.
TUNING ON TO SATELLITE STATIONS
Press to switch on the Video System
Press to access the tuning function
The satellite tuning function is now cued on the screen
Select polarity
POL:H for horizontal, and POL:V for vertical Alternatively select a figure between 0 and 31 until you obtain correct polarization
Press if you want to search for a station
Alternatively, key in the frequency of the station you want. using 4 or 5 digits as appropriate
Wait for the satellite tuner to stop at a frequency
Any satellite decoder must be specified now. To do so. press TURN once or several times until the decoder of your choice is cued on the screen: DEC-1 for decoder 1 DEC-2 for decoder 2 OFF for no decoder
STORE Press to access the store function
Key in the number on which you want to store the station you have iust found. > for example
Press again to store the station
Repeat this procedure to find and store other satellite stations on other frequencies and on the opposite polarity
Tuning on to satellite stations and storing them
This tuning procedure enables you to tune on to different satellite stations broadcast by one satellite and using identical video and sound carriers.
Note: To tune on to stations broadcast by other satellites or using different video and sound carriers, you must access the on-screen displays for satellite tuning. Please refer to the Beosat LM setting-up quide for details
For each satellite station you want to pick up, you must first tune to the frequency used by the station, either by letting the system find it for you, or if vou know the exact frequency, by keying it in directly. You must also specify whether the station is horizontally or vertically polarized.
Once you have found a station, you must store it on a program number of your own choice. This means that you can access the stations directly by keying in vour own program number.
Note: If you tune to a station without storing it on a program number, the cue PROGRAM NOT STORED will appear briefly telling you that the station will be lost if you switch to another program number or switch off
Vou can store 00 different stations on program numbers of their own (1-99).
While pressing the buttons < or > you will step through all your active program numbers, skipping those on which you haven't stored a program.
You can clear a program number, that is remove the information stored on it, by selecting the apropriate number, then pressing STORE, 0. STORE.
Naming satellite stations
This function enables you do dub the stations you have found, that is give them a name by which you can identify them.
The name of your choice will be displayed on the screen whenever you press SATELLITE to switch on or to ask for a status display on-screen, or if you switch to another station.
You can choose any name with up to 10 characters (letters or numbers).
The name and the appropriate program number will appear in the PROGRAM LIST available onscreen. To see this list, press SHIFT, TEXT to call the satellite on-screen menu, then press PLAY to accept the first item in the menu, that is PROGRAM LIST .
Switch on to the program you want to name,
SATELLITE then 1
Press three times to access the 3 naming function
The cue PROGRAM NAME appears. The cursor (blinking) will be on the first of the 10 possible positions
Press repeatedly to reveal the letter or number you want on this position
Press to step to the next character position
Repeat this procedure until you have filled in all the letters or numbers you want
Press twice to store the name for your chosen program number
STORE
Select other program numbers and repeat this procedure to name other stations
Fine tuning
Usually, fine tuning is not required because the satellite tuner automatically tunes to the best possible picture.
However, neighbouring stations may blur the picture slightly, in which case you may find the fine tuning facility useful.
Fine tuning can be done in steps of approximately 1 MHz (max. 7 MHz) to either side of the standard frequency.
Accesses the fine tuning function
GO TO
The cue FINE TUNE appears
Press to fine tune
STORE
Press twice to store the fine tuning
