BOSSCOM DAB/FM is equipped with a 7 pin DIN Data Link cable for connection to Bang & Olufsen equipment. Thus an adaptor cable is required for connection to equipment not having a DIN input socket. See below examples and the Option Programming section page 8.

Getting Started

Beolink 1000

SHIFT A.TAPE

This BOSSCOM DAB/FM tuner has been designed for operation in a Bang & Olufsen remote control system allowing full control with a Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal either directly or via connection to Bang & Olufsen equipment.

Thus the tuner is Beolink compatible.

Direct Mode or CableLink Mode

The BOSSCOM DAB/FM tuner is connected to Bang & Olufsen equipment via the 7-pin DIN cable with or without adaptor, and through option programming it may be controlled as follows:

1. Via the tuner’s built in IR-receiver, ”Direct Mode”

Direct Mode is used when connection to an input with control data is not possible.

2. Via the cable connected Bang & Olufsen equipment, ”CableLink Mode”

CableLink Mode is used only when connection to an input with control data is possible.

See page 8 for Option Programming.

Factory Settings

The factory setting is for “Direct Mode” and manual power control.

The factory setting for input socket and selected source is:

Remote control Source

Beo4, Beo5 or Beo6 N.MUSIC, A.MEM2 or TAPE2

If the DAB/FM tuner is connected to a different input, the option should be programmed accordingly. See page 8 for Option Programming

Installation

1) Connect power supply.

2) Connect external antenna if required.

3) Turn the power switch on, located on the cabinet.

4) Select option and complete option programming, if required.

5) Connect the tuner to the correct input socket on the Bang & Olufsen equipment.

6) Select the corresponding source on the remote control terminal.

7) Turn on the tuner manually, if it is not in the automatic power up mode.

8) Select and program your favorite stations.

Connection to Bang & Olufsen Equipment

This BOSSCOM DAB/FM tuner may be connected to any Bang & Olufsen BeoSound, BeoCenter, BeoMaster, BeoSystem or BeoVision TV and controlled with a Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal, but it may also be

connected to equipment of any other brand and still be controlled with the Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal.

Through the years Bang & Olufsen equipment has had input sockets added, removed and renamed. A newer Bang & Olufsen remote control has the button N.MUSIC, which is identical to SHIFT A.TAPE or A.TAPE2 on older remotes.

Below tables are showing available input sockets and their designation on various Bang & Olufsen equipment. The tables below also show the source that has to be selected to open a given input.

Thus with identified Bang & Olufsen equipment and the selected input socket the required option for the tuner to be operable may be determined. Some input sockets allow for the CableLink option to be selected, whereas most of the newer audio equipment requires the Direct Mode option to be used.

The Direct Mode Option:

The tuner is controlled directly with the Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal. Control from a linkroom is not possible, although the tuner may be listened to there.

The CableLink Option: The tuner is controlled with the Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal through the connected Bang & Olufsen equipment sending control data via the connection cable. The tuner may be controlled from any linkroom too.

CableLink

The CableLink option allows for the tuner to be listened

to and controlled from any linkroom.

Direct Mode

The Direct Mode option allows for the tuner to be listened to

but not controlled from any linkroom. The Direct Mode

option works in any Bang & Olufsen set up, but the tuner’s IR

receiver is not plasma safe.

Antenna Connection

BOSSCOM DAB/FM tuner may be connected to any antenna designed for FM and the DAB reception, if the supplied one is not sufficient.

o If the FM signal strength is not sufficient the reception will be noisy. o If the DAB signal strength is not sufficient the reception is varying from

disturbing ”bubbles” to complete quietness.

o If no signal is received the display indicates N/A.

Automatic Power Up and Down

As default factory setting the tuner is manually powered up and down with the button. As the display is automatically dimmed 10 seconds after any operation, powering the tuner down is not a strict requirement.

If automatic powering up and down with the source selection is desired, programming a specific option allows for that.

Option Code Function

Option 990

Option 991 The tuner automatically

The tuner can only be powered up and down, using the button.

powers up and down.

Important Info about the Automatic Power Mode

When the automatic power option has been set, the tuner turns on and off automatically with the source selection. But if the tuner’s clock has not been set, automatic power up and down is NOT possible.

The clock is automatically set 10-30 seconds after power has been applied to the tuner, provided a DAB station has been received. Thus the automatic power option cannot be used if the tuner is switched off the mains regularly.

Menu

Pressing enters the tuner’s main Menu.

Use the buttons to select one of the sub menus:

• Manual scan

• Contrast

• System reset

• Software version

Option Programming

Option programming is required only when installing the tuner. The programming is performed with a Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal by initiating a 5 button sequence within 8 seconds after powering up the tuner.

When powering up the tuner the red control LED flashes for 8 seconds, and the programming has to be carried out before the control LED stops flashing. When entering a button the timeout is prolonged with another 8 seconds.

If not successful the operation may be repeated. Programming starts by pressing and ends by pressing All options have 3 digits to be entered in between.

Option 106 is entered like this:

*1

Control LED Indications

Red/green flash

By initial power up the LED starts flashing red/green, indicating that the tuner is in Option Programming Mode, i.e. an option may be entered.

The Option Programming Mode is terminated after 30 seconds or prior hereto if any command except for - , or is received.

Red The tuner is powered down.

Green

The tuner is powered up or the tuner is searching for a signal to set the clock.

Intermittently turned off

The LED turns off very briefly as a command handshake indicator.

*1. If using a Beolink1000 remote control, LIGHT must be replaced with SHIFT-LINK.

Source & Option Selection

The following tables show the available input sockets on various Bang & Olufsen audio and video products, how to select them using a remote control terminal and what the corresponding option program of the BOSSCOM DAB/FM tuner should be.

The BOSSCOM DAB/ FM tuner has to be programmed with the right option to operate correctly:
