BeoSystem 1

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No User-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

This symbol indicates that a dangerous voltage constitut- ing a risk of electric shock is present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are important operat- ing and maintenance instruc- tions in the literature accompanying this unit.

Caution To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarised

plug on the BeoSystem 1 with an extension cord,

receptacle, or other outlet, unless the blades can

be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Complete all the connections in your setup before

connecting any appliance to the AC outlet. Note:

Your BeoSystem 1 operates on a normal house-

hold current (120 volts, 60Hz) and has a polarised

plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than

the other, the plug fits in the wall outlet only one

way. Do not defeat the safety feature of this plug.

If you need an extension, use a polarised cord.

Note to Cable-TV installer This reminder is provided to call your attention to

Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code

(Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1)

which provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground

shall be connected to the grounding system of the

building as close to the point of cable entry as

practical.

While e.g. TV is on

To move the inserted picture

The Picture-in-Picture function allows

you to watch two sources at the same

DVD playback in the small window.

When you activate the Picture-in-

Picture function, a small window is

superimposed on the screen. You can

move this window around on the

buttons pressed on your Beo4 remote

control affect the picture in the small

window.

Olufsen audio system is that the two

are connected by a Master Link cable.

If you connect your BeoSystem 1 and

a Bang & Olufsen audio system, you

can listen to your audio sources, such

as CD and radio, through the loud-

speakers connected to BeoSystem 1.

If you expand your BeoLink system

further with BeoLink loudspeakers in

other rooms, you can listen to both

video and audio sources throughout

your home.

Use a PC with BeoSystem 1 and BeoVision 4

Connect the video signal to the BeoVision 4 plasma screen, and the audio signal to BeoSystem 1. Connect the video signal from the PC to the PC

IN socket on BeoVision 4.

Connect the audio signal to the L/R sockets on

the close-up connection panel on BeoSystem 1.

Alternatively, you can connect the audio signal

to the RIGHT and LEFT sockets in the V AUX

socket area on the rear connection panel on

BeoSystem 1. Refer to Connection panels on

BeoSystem 1 for further information about the

connection panels.

If you connect the sound signal to the V AUX

socket area, you must register your PC in the

EXTERNAL SOURCES menu. Please refer to

Register equipment connected to BeoSystem 1.

Use a connected PC Press LIST on Beo4 until PC appears in the

Press GO to select PC as your source

If you select PC as your source, you can not call up

the BeoSystem 1 main menu on the screen

Note also that adjustment of brightness, colour,

contrast or tint must be done via the PICTURE

menu, and not via the PC. Refer to Adjust sound

and picture settings for further information.

Do not allow still pictures, such as computer images, to be displayed on the screen for an extended period of time, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.

Connection and use

The PC IN socket on the back of BeoVision 4 for

connection of a video signal from a PC.

NOTE! In order to display PC on Beo4, you must

first add this function to the Beo4 list of

functions. Please refer to Beo4s own Guide for

further information.

*NOTE! The supplied mains lead and plug are

specially designed for BeoSystem 1. If you

change the plug or in any way damage the

mains lead, it will affect the picture adversely.

We recommend that you follow the

procedure described below when you

set up your BeoSystem 1.

Unpack the BeoSystem 1 and place

Guidelines are included to the right

under Placing your BeoSystem 1;

Connect the cables*, additional

equipment, and loudspeakers as

described on pages 2027.

Do not connect BeoSystem 1 to the

mains until you have connected your

screen, loudspeakers, and other

equipment to BeoSystem 1!

For an overview of the connection

panels on the top, front and rear of

BeoSystem 1, please refer to

Connection panels on BeoSystem 1.

Set up your BeoSystem 1

Handling your BeoSystem 1

BeoSystem 1 has a set of recesses for lifting the system. The illustration shows the placement of each recess (A and B).

To facilitate remote control operation

of your BeoSystem 1 and all

connected equipment, you must

connect the IR receiver to

BeoSystem 1.

The IR receiver is a kind of eye,

which is cabable of receiving signals

from your Beo4 remote control and

sending them to BeoSystem 1.

BeoSystem 1 then sends the

appropriate control signals to your

screen, projector or other connected

equipment.

the receiver in the order indicated. Tighten the

clamp.

> Attach the rear cover and fasten the IR receiver

to the wall as described below.

> Connect the cable to the IR RECEIVER socket on

the BeoSystem 1 top connection panel.

To fasten the IR receiver to the wall > Using the wall bracket as a template, mark and

drill two holes in the wall.

Source signals and external

equipment you wish to connect to

BeoSystem 1 must be connected to

the appropriate panel. Three

separate panels are available:

A close-up connection panel for

connection of headphones or a

CamCorder;

A top panel with connections for

RF antenna or cable A and B

signal input, Master Link

connection, an additional IR

receiver, Digital TV input and

connection of a plasma screen or

projector;

A rear connection panel on

BeoSystem 1 is for connection of

additional equipment. There are

sockets for extra video sources,

such as a VCR, DVD player,

Satellite receiver or set-top box.

Another group of sockets on the

rear connection panel is intended

for the connection of

loudspeakers in a surround sound

system. Finally, the rear socket

panel contains a special socket for

recording purposes, and low

DTV IN

Five sockets are available for connection of

component signals from e.g. a high Definition

set-top box: Y/G, Pr/R, Pb/B, H and V.

Sources with an RGB-type interface have to be

connected to all 5 sockets.

For Y, Pr, Pb-type interfaces, use the sockets

Y/G, Pr/R and Pb/B no connection should be

made to the H and V sockets.

If the DTV IN sockets are used, then make sure

that the analogue sound outputs (RIGHT and

LEFT) and the digital sound output (COAX or

OPTICAL) from the set-top box are connected to

the relevant sockets in the STB area on the rear

connection panel. Also, make sure that the

CTRL socket in the STB area is used for

connecting the IR transmitter controlling the
