It distinguishes itself by its timeless design and technologically advanced operation system, which actually guides you to the desired function. The Beocenter 9000 1s a so-called Beolink product, which means that it can be used as a master in a Bang & Olufsen Beolink system. In a Beolink system video and audio products are interconnected and they can be operated using only one remote control unit — the Beolink 1000. For further information about setting up and operating the Beolink system, please refer to the special Beolink manuals.

These screws must be loosened before you can operate it. To gain access to the screws carefully turn the Beocenter upside down. Remove the two screws with a screwdriver and place them in the two holes marked PLAY for safe keeping. If vou ever have to transport the Beocenter, we strongly recommend that you reinsert the transport screws in the holes marked TRANS- PORT. Placement МА ВЕТЕР пал RE, LL The Beocenter must be placed on a firm, horizontal surface. Do not obstruct the venti- lation apertures in any way. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, near radiators or other sources of heat. Adjustment to room If the Beocenter has heen exposed fo low tempe- ratures, e.g. during transport, and is then placed in a warm room, condensation can form within the mechanism. If this happens, it will not play temperature until the humidity falls to an acceptable level, so allow the Beocenter to acclimatize to normal room temperature for at least an hour or two before use, Before using your Beocenter, you must make several connections. Lift up the hinged grille at the rear (left-hand side of Beocenter) and remove the plastic foam in order to reveal the sockets, Loudspeakers The two pairs of loudspeaker sockets allow you to connect one or two sets of loudspeakers as required: SPEAKERS 1: 4-pin DIN sockets for - loudspeakers in the same room as the Beocenter, or - the Bang & Olufsen Beolab Penta power amplifier/loudspeaker module, or - the Bang & Olufsen Beolab 150 power amplifier. SPEAKERS 2 SPEAKERS | HIGHT FT RIGHT | = ; SPEAKERS 2: 3-pin DIN sockets for - Joudspeakers in an adjoining room, or - Master Control Link installation. 10 Antennae In order to pick up the FM and AM stations available in your area, you must connect both an FM antenna and an AM antenna. AM: socket for AM antenna. FM: Socket for 60-75 ohm FM antenna. If FM reception is good in your area you may rely on an indoor FM antenna to pick up the signals. The indoor antenna (part no. 8902010) is available from vour Bang & Olufsen dealer. Attach it to the Beocenter as indicated on the diagram. For an explanation of the other sockets, please see the paragraph “Auxiliary equipment”. В © № 220V 130V 240V 110\ Before connecting the Beocenter to the mains, check that the mains voltage switch on the rear panel is set to the position corresponding to the voltage supply in your country: 220 Y, 130 Y, 240 V, or 110 V. If for any reason you have to set the switch to another position, remember to disconnect the Beocenter from the mains beforehand. Use a screwdriver or a coin to turn the switch. When vou connect the Beocenter to the mains for the first time, or if there has been a power cut, Clock appears on the operation panel. Please refer to the paragraph “Setting the clock” on page 34. Power cuts lasting 20 seconds or less will not disrupt the Beocenter and it will resume playing when the power is restored. If you are recording, any power cut will interrupt your recording, but if the power cut lasts less than 20 seconds, the source you were recording from will resume playing. Once connected to the mains the Beocenter is in so-called stand-by mode and ready for use. The stand-by mode is indicated by a tiny red light on the right-hand side of the display panel. 11 The Beocenter is designed to be left in stand- by mode when not in use.
