Placing your music system
Make sure that the music system is set up, placed and connected in accordance with the instructions in this guide.
We recommend that you follow this procedure when you set up your music system:
1 Connect the cable between the
Master unit and the Socket unit
2 Connect all cables to the sockets in the Socket unit – remember not to connect it to the mains yet
3 Lead the cables through the opening at each end of the Socket unit
4 Mount the cover for the sockets on the Socket unit
5 Connect the products to the mains
If you wish to mount the Socket unit on a wall bracket, refer to the following pages.
Placing the Master unit and the
Socket unit…
Place your music system on a firm surface, preferably on the table, sideboard or stand where you want it placed permanently.
Do not place any items on top of BeoCenter 2.
The music system is designed for indoor use in dry, domestic environments only, and for use within a temperature range of 10–40º C
(50–105º F).
Remember to leave enough space at the sides for the doors to open.
Avoid placing the system in direct sunlight, near radiators or other sources of heat.
Do not connect any of the products in your system to the mains, until you have connected all the cables (refer to page 6).
If the Socket unit is placed close to the floor, it is best to connect all the necessary cables to the Socket unit before you mount it on the wall bracket. Also make sure that there is room enough to detach the Socket unit from the wall bracket again.
To ensure proper ventilation, allow for at least 5 centimetres (2") of space at the sides of the Socket unit and 10 centimetres (4") above the unit. The
Socket unit must under no circumstances be covered by for example insulation material.
Before mounting the wall bracket, ensure that all cables have the proper length.
The Socket unit can be placed vertically or horisontally, for example on the floor – however, the need for ventilation must be observed. If required, the Socket unit can be fastened to the wall with the enclosed wall bracket (refer to page 8).
1 2
As illustrated, you can fasten the Socket unit either horisontally or vertically. Note that the lock mechanism of the wall bracket requires that the sockets face downward if you mount the Socket unit horisontally.
Cover for sockets: To gain access to the sockets, it is necessary to remove the cover. Lift one end of the cover, slide the cover to the side and lift it off.
The cables must be lead through the openings at each end of the Socket unit.
Mains cord: For security reasons the cover must be mounted. When the mains cord has been lead through the opening at the end of the Socket unit and the cover has been mounted, the mains cord cannot be pulled out of the socket by accident.

Option 0. Used when your music system is connected to your video system and no speakers are connected directly to your music system.
Option 1. Used when your music system is set up on its own or connected to a video system, when speakers are connected to your music system.
Option 2. Used when your music system is set up in one room and connected to a video system set up in another room.
Option 5. Used when your music system is set up in a link room which also comprises a Bang &
Olufsen television.
Option 6. Used when your music system is set up in a link room without a Bang & Olufsen television.

Looking after your music system
Normal maintenance, such as cleaning the music system, is the responsibility of the user. To achieve the best result, please follow these instructions.
Handle discs with care. If the disc is always held by its edges and placed in its original cassette when out of the player, no cleaning will be required.
Cleaning your music system
Wipe dust off the surface of the system using a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, remove grease stains or more persistent dirt with a firmly wrung, soft cloth which you have dipped in a solution of water containing a few drops of mild detergent.
Do not attempt to clean the optics of the system or open any part of the music system yourself. Leave such operations to qualified service personnel.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the system!
Note: Should the disc become soiled by fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped clean with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth. No solvents or abrasive cleaners should ever be used on the discs. Avoid extreme heat and humidity, and never write on your discs.
Handling your discs: When cleaning your discs, wipe in a straight line from the centre to the edge.
