Before you start…

Two guides are enclosed with the BeoCenter AV5; a User’s guide and a Setting-up guide.

We recommend that you (or your Bang & Olufsen dealer) follow the instructions in the Setting-up guide when you set up your BeoCenter AV5. If you connect auxiliary equipment to your system, you must also refer to the Setting-up guide for instruction.

Apart from explaining how to set up and make the system ready for use, the Setting-up guide also includes maintenance instructions and information which you may need from time to time.

The User’s guide then explains how to tune and preset your BeoCenter AV5 as well as operate the various sources and functions offered by

BeoCenter AV5, using the Beo4 remote control.

This illustration exemplifies the different types of information, presented in this guide…

The section, marked a, gives you a step-by-step instruction of the operation in question.

Section a includes:

• The buttons you must press to complete the operation. The buttons displayed correspond to the buttons on the Beo4 remote control.

• The captions which give you important information. The captions must be read in order to complete the operation successfully.

The section, marked b, supports the button sequence.

Section b includes:

• The relevant on-screen menus which you call up when you follow the step-by-step button instruction.

• A text which gives you an additional introduction to the operation in question, and provides you with examples of how you could benefit from using the function in question.

Operating BeoCenter AV5 with Beo4

Before you start operating BeoCenter

AV5, it may be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Beo4 operating principles.

Your BeoCenter AV5 is designed for remote operation using the Beo4 remote control.

Most operations are carried out via the

Beo4 remote control. The somewhat more advanced functions in the

BeoCenter AV5 are guided by menus which you call up on the screen (see pages 6-7).

Beo4, furthermore, integrates remote operation of your BeoCenter AV5 and the daily functions in other recent

Bang & Olufsen systems.

Note: A few functions are operated directly on the small operation panel on the back of the

BeoCenter display bar. Please refer to BeoCenter

AV5 close-up operation, pages 52-54 for further information.

Nice to know about Beo4 buttons...

In the step-by-step operating sequences shown in this guide, the buttons on the Beo4 and cues in the Beo4 display will be illustrated like this:

Rectangular buttons for source control, numbers and dedicated functions, such as Teletext and menu operation

Buttons within the star-shaped button for stepping, selecting or winding

The circular GO button is for accepting and storing instructions

LIST

STAND

The coloured buttons within the star-shaped button are used for special functions, it will be explained when and how to use them

The double-button LIST means

‘press repeatedly’ to reveal more cues or functions in the Beo4 LIST of functions

The cues or functions in the Beo4 display indicate either the current source or operation you are addressing or an extra function which you call up by pressing LIST

Beo4 operating principles

The Beo4 remote control is divided into

5 areas. Each area has its own dedicated functions.

The buttons are arranged so that your operation of the various functions in

BeoCenter AV5 is made as simple and clear as possible.

The Beo4 display reads out which source or function you are controlling, but if you press the LIST button, the cue on the display changes and reveal more functions or buttons available for the operation of BeoCenter AV5*.

*Note: If some operations require a function or button which is not already available when you press the LIST button, you can add the function to your Beo4 and rearrange the order in which all the extra functions on Beo4 appear, please refer to Beo4’s own User’s guide and the chapter

Customising your Beo4 for further instruction.

The Beo4 display tells you which source or function you are using

Press to move to the next space and accept the first character

See the button sequence on the following page for further instruction…

If you have just auto tuned your TV,

Satellite or Radio stations, a program list for the appropriate source will appear on the screen.

You can use the program lists to call up, name, move or clear a tuned station.

Naming a station…

For most stations, names will be available in the program list already.

Names for TV and Satellite stations appear automatically during auto tuning. For Radio stations, a name may appear both during auto and manual tuning.

If you wish, you name a station which has not been named already.*

Moving or clearing a station…

Via the program list, you can clear or move a station to a different program number. If the new program number, you choose, is already occupied, the

‘new’ station and the ‘old’ station will change places. Now move the ‘old’ station to another program number.

*Naming a station…

If you choose to name a station yourself, the station or program number you select will be emphasised to make the actual naming easier, as illustrated on the program list for TV stations to the right.

To write a name character by character, you press

▲ or

▼ until you find the first character you want in your name. For TV or Satellite, this character may appear as a part of a preset name which has been entered to make the naming process easier and faster. In order to match up the station with an appropriate preset name, move to the next space and press

▲ or

▼ to find the second character in a name.

If a preset name is available for the station in question, it may appear automatically, and all you have to do is accept this preset name. If an appropriate name does not appear, you simply move to the next space and repeat the procedure

– 8 character spaces are available for a name.

With respect to Radio stations, the station’s own name may be broadcast via the RDS facility and appear during auto tuning or manual tuning. If no name is broadcast, the Radio frequency will appear on the list. If you choose to name a Radio station which has already been given a name via the RDS facility, the information received via RDS will be cancelled for this particular station. If you store the station again, however, the RDS facility will of course apply again.

To do so, call up the second menu for manual tuning of TV stations, then select the correct system.

You can tune in your stations yourself.

Assign them with a program number, as well as a name, and, if it proves necessary, determine whether a decoder should be cut in.

When you reveal the first characters, an appropriate preset name may appear. If no preset name is available – then continue to ‘write’ the name character by character.

What’s on the second TV MANUAL TUNING menu…

FINE

Fine tuning – usually the TV tunes to the best possible picture, however, neighbouring channels may blur the picture slightly. Fine tune within a range of +8 – -8.

DECODER

A decoder can be connected to the reception of coded TV stations. If DECODER is set to one of the

ON options, the decoder will be cut in automatically when the relevant program number is selected.

The following options are available for DECODER:

ON/AV… (decoder on) where both audio and video signals are coded

ON/V… (decoder on) where only video signals are coded

OFF… (decoder off) for no decoder

Select ON/AV for most coded stations, in order to get both sound and pictures. If only the video signal is coded, select ON/V. If you select ON/AV where only the video signal is coded, the sound may be lost when the signal is decoded.

PDC/VPS facility and Timer recording…

The PDC/VPS facility in your videotape recorder enables you to make use of the PDC

(Program Delivery Control) and the VPS (Video

Programming System) broadcasting signals accompanying programmes in some countries.

The facility can be set to On or Off via the videotape recorder’s setup menu.

The PDC/VPS facility ensures that a programme accompanied by the PDC/VPS signals will be recorded in its full length – even if the programme is delayed or prolonged.

If the PDC/VPS facility is set to On and the

PDC/VPS signals or times are provided by the broadcaster, you must programme the exact start and stop times of each programme you wish to record in order for your Timer recording to be successful. If you wish to record two programmes in a row, you must make two separate Timer recordings.

If the PDC/VPS facility is set to Off, recording will start and stop as you programme, even if the programme is delayed or prolonged. So, just programme the start time of the first programme and the stop time of the next one to record two programmes in a row.
