The User’s guides
This Guide contains information about daily use, more advanced operations as well as basic setup and maintenance of your product.
The CD-rom Reference book contains information about connecting loudspeakers, adjusting loudspeaker setup, connecting external equipment, connecting an audio system and setting up and operating a BeoLink® system. It also contains an overview of on-screen menus.
Both guides contain an index which can help you find the specific subject, you want to know more about.
We expect that your Bang & Olufsen retailer delivers the product to your home, installs it and makes all necessary connections as well as the initial setting-up. However, the information required to install and set up the product is included in the guides in case you need it at a later date if for example you move your products or expand your system.
The Reference book is a file in PDF-format on the enclosed CD-rom. To read this PDF-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.
