Bang Olufsen Beocenter 9500 Owner Manual

 BEOSYSTEM 9500
Your Beosystem 9500 is easy and very
convenient to use. If you like, you can in
fact operate the whole system without
leaving your chair.
The Beocenter 9500 has an FM/AM
receiver, a tape recorder and a compact
disc player. The matching Beogram 9500
record player is data-linked to the
Beocenter for unified operation.
The system can be operated close-up,
but it can also be operated from a
distance using the Beolink 5000 remote
control terminal or, alternatively, the
Beolink 1000 terminal (optional extras).
User's guide
Note: Complete setting up and
maintenance instructions for each
unit are found with the unit itself.
Basic operations can also be carried
out directly on the Beogram 9500,
and close operating instructions are
included in the setting up guide.
Be sure to keep the setting up
guides. You will need them for
cleaning and maintenance
instructions, and for when you move
or rearrange your Beosystem 9500 in
the future.
Note: Detailed contents are found at
the start of each major section.

The choice is yours...
In this guide, remote control operation
of your Beosystem 9500 is described
with the Beolink 5000 terminal. How-
ever, if you take a closer look at the two
terminals on this page, you will see that
most of the buttons used for daily
operations differ only in shape - the
texts and the graphics on the buttons
are quite alike. So are the functions they
will carry out for you! |
On the following pages, the button
sequences that differ on the two
terminals will be marked *. In such
situations, please refer to the list on
page 42 for guidance, if you prefer to
operate your Beosystem 9500 with the
Beolink 1000 terminal.
Note: The Beolink terminals are optional extras
available at your Bang 8: Olufsen dealer.
However, in some countries, the Beolink 1000
terminal may be included as a standard
component of the system.
Note: Only the Beolink 5000 can operate the
timer programming functions in the Beosystem
9500. Please refer to the Beolink 5000 user's guide
for further information, and remember to switch
the Beosystem 9500 to stand-by mode before you
start.
