The User’s guides
This Guide contains all the information you need to know about your Bang &

We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your product.
However, the information required to install and set up the product is included in
the Guide and on the CD-rom. This might be useful if you move your product or
expand your system at a later date.
The Guide and the CD-rom both contain an index which can help you find the
specific subject you want to know more about.
The enclosed CD-rom contains a file in PDFformat. To read this 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.
