Congratulations
With the BOSSCOM controller installed inside your Bang & Olufsen Beo4
remote control, you can fully operate your non B&O TV with this terminal.
This guide explains how.
If your Beo4 has already been correctly set up, you can now proceed to one
of the two operation tables:

If the BOSSCOM controller has not yet been optimized for your setup,
refer to the installation section about the initial setup and option programming. There is no programming needed during everyday use.
The BOSSCOM controller that has been installed inside your Beo4 remote
control, can be used in any Beo4 remote control. Both
rst generation mod-
els and the latest with extra buttons for manoeuvring, the Beo4 Navi.
To get the most of your modi
ed Beo4, the BOSSCOM controller must be
programmed according to the Beo4 model and the environment that your
TV is a part of. Refer to page 5 and forward, for the initial setting.

The BOSSCOM controller for the Beo4 remote control
The BOSSCOM controller is a small microcomputer module, which is specically
made to be built in to a Bang & Olufsen Beo4 remote control.
The controller captures the commands that were meant for operating a Bang & Olufsen
device. Before the commands are emitted from the Beo4, these commands are converted, and therefore also able to operate a non Bang & Olufsen TV.
Each controller is dedicated for operating a specic product like an Apple iPod docking
station, a at sc
reen TV, a curtain controller etc.
The controller makes the Beo4 able to operate a third part device, still able to operate
any other Bang & Olufsen products.
If there is a Bang & Olufsen audiomaster in the room, it can be used for handling the sound. Speakers connected to an audiomaster are of a much better quality than the speakers in a TV. In a B&O linkroom setup
with Beolink Active or Beolink Passive, you can also use these speakers to i
mprove sound from most TV’s.
Only a simple audio cable is needed between the TV and the audiomaster. See the option programming section about AAUX and PC modes on page 11.
Operating with BOSSCOM
.
To be able to operate the non B&O TV optimal using the BOSSCOM
the user has to be familiar with the operations available when using the original remote
control, as described in the TV’s user manual.
A beo4 remote control is not equipped with as many keys as most remote controls for
non B&O devices. We have designed an operation ‘layout’ that works logically, even
for ma

common layout
ns to other
functions.
The Beo4 Navi model introduces new buttons, making it easier to make operation
table’s, closer to the TV’s own.
Coloured function buttons.
To make room for easy access to more important functions, in some layouts we have
moved the coloured function buttons, to a lower layer. In these layouts to send a ‘color’
command, a must be pressed before the coloured button itself.
This way we are able to assign other functions to the coloured buttons in direct mode.
In a BOSSCOM environment the coloured buttons are often assi
gned to these opera-
tions:
Go, Navi or Stop shifted
Guide, EPG or similar.
Back, Backup, Return or similar.
Programme zapping. P+/ P- ,

operation.
Some of the buttons has two or three operations. To get to these they have to be preceded with
O or .
In case of Beo4 Navi a button has been a added to replace the button, when
in ‘mode 2’. In mode 2 the BOSSCOM uses the Center button f
or shifting, instead of

Buttons that has been assigned secondary functions are listed in the operating table on
page 9.
Programme stepping, up/ down manoeuvring in menus.
Most set top boxes and TV’s has 4 arrow buttons for manoeuvring in or screen menus,
up, down, left and right. In addition they are equipped with separate programme stepping buttons for zapping through the programme list. Often these keys are named P+, P
-, CH+ or CH -.
BOSSCOM often makes use of the and the keys for programme zapping. This way the four up, down, left and right buttons are free to be used for the more
natural use of manoeuvring in
on screen menus.
Using a Beo4 Navi in mode 2, manoeuvring in On-screen menus is fully handled using
the added ‘joy-stick’, not available on previous Beo4 models. In a Beo4 Navi setup we
therefore can make use of the up and down arrows for programme zapping.
Setting the Zap Mode Option
If the BOSSCOM controller is not set to operate in Navi mode, the Beo4 buttons
and a
re used for programme stepping. The and buttons
are used to manoeuvre up and down in an on-screen menu. This is the default factory
setting, as described above.
