The Guide and the Reference book

This Guide contains all the information you need to get the full benefit of your product. The Reference book contains information about connecting and operating external equipment, as well as an overview of on-screen menus.

We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your product.

However, the information required to install and set up the product is included in the

Guide and the Reference book. This is useful if you move your product or expand your system at a later date.

The Guide and the Reference book both contain an index which can help you find the specific subject you want to know more about.

Home Theatre

You can extend your system into a fully equipped Home Theatre by connecting four Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2 subwoofer*.

When you switch on one of the sources in BeoSystem 1, speakers in a surround sound system can be cut in or out, depending on what kind of sound suits the source you are using.

BeoSystem 1 may switch on a speaker combination automatically.

This happens if a broadcasted programme contains information about the number of speakers to be switched on. However, you are still free to choose the speaker combination you prefer.

With Beo4, you can choose the picture format you prefer for movie viewing, and switch between two connected screens.

Select speakers for movie sound

You can select the speaker combination that suits the source you are using, provided that the various sound modes are available in your system.

*NOTE! For further information on how to connect speakers to BeoSystem 1, refer to the chapter ‘ Loudspeaker connections – surround sound’ on page 4 in the Reference book.

Make the picture fill out the screen

BeoSystem 1 always ensures you the best possible picture. It automatically adapts the picture so that it fills out as much of the screen as possible. However, you can still choose the format you prefer. When you select a format yourself, the automatic format selection is deactivated.

Switch between two screens

If you have connected two screens to

BeoSystem 1 at the same time, such as a plasma screen and a projector screen for

Home Theatre use, you can switch between these at any time by selecting FORMAT 0 on

Beo4.

BeoSystem 1 switches the picture and the display information concerning the current source to the selected screen.

FORMAT 1… For standard TV pictures. Two variations are available: 15:9 and Panoramic view (for the largest picture).

FORMAT 2… For letter-box pictures. When you select FORMAT 2, the picture is automatically adjusted vertically. This ensures that channel names or subtitles – if these appear in the broadcasted picture – can be seen.

FORMAT 3… For genuine 16:9 wide-screen pictures. FORMAT 3 is usually selected automatically. If this is not the case, you can select it yourself.

If you have a home automation system connected, the screen, lights and curtains can be equally adjusted when you choose FORMAT 0 and switch to the Home Theatre setup. For information about how to connect BeoSystem 1 to a home automation system, refer to the chapter ‘Connect a screen to

BeoSystem 1’ on page 42.

Teletext

If you select a channel and the broadcaster offers a teletext service,

BeoSystem 1 gives you access to teletext pages and any subpages linked to the pages.

To make your favourite teletext pages appear first when you bring up teletext, store them as memory pages.

When you store the teletext subtitles page as memory page number four, you can activate subtitles for that particular channel automatically.

Basic teletext functions Store favourite teletext pages

You can find information on teletext pages in three steps: switch on the teletext service, read the index page to find the desired page number, and call up the desired page.

See two sources at the same time

Your Beo4 remote control gives you access to a dual-screen function for viewing two video sources at the same time. For example, you can view a videotape playback and a TV programme at the same time, provided that the selected sources are available in your system.

While watching a programme or recording, you can divide the screen between the current programme or recording (picture A in the second illustration) and a new programme or recording (picture B). You can also swap the two pictures at any time.

The sound always follows picture A.

Volume adjustment with Beo4 always affects picture A, while other Beo4 operations, such as selecting channels, affect picture B. Choosing a new source cancels dual-screen viewing.

While watching, for example,

BeoSystem 1 can also notify you when a desired page has been found or updated. This is useful, for example, if you want to see the latest news headlines while watching TV.

If your teletext broadcaster offers a

Fastext service, you can use the coloured buttons on Beo4 to step to one of four linked teletext pages.

Basic teletext functions are described on page 12.

Set the time and date

BeoSystem 1 has a built-in 24-hour clock.

When you preset BeoSystem 1 to switch itself on or off at a particular time, or when you preset a timed recording of a programme on a connected BeoCord V 8000 video tape recorder, the clock ensures that these features are switched on and off at the right times.

The simplest way to set the clock is to synchronise it with a tuned TV channel’s teletext service via the

Clock menu. If you choose to synchronise the clock, this is done with the teletext service offered by the TV channel you are currently watching. If a teletext service is not available, you can set the clock manually.

Before synchronising the clock with a tuned channel, make sure that the channel you are watching offers a teletext service.

Watch Camcorder on BeoSystem 1

If you have connected a video tape recorder, such as a BeoCord V 8000, to BeoSystem 1, and you connect your Camcorder to the

Camcorder and headphones sockets, you can copy Camcorder recordings onto a videotape.

While the tape is being copied, you can watch a TV programme or switch BeoSystem 1 to standby.

PHONES

You can connect stereo headphones to the socket marked PHONES. The speakers connected to BeoSystem 1 can then be cut out by pressing the middle of the Beo4 volume button.

To watch your Camcorder recordings, connect the Camcorder and switch BeoSystem 1 on.

When you start playback on your Camcorder,

BeoSystem 1 automatically registers the signal and you can see the pictures from the

Camcorder on the screen.

To copy a recording from a Camcorder…

> Connect your Camcorder and start playback on the Camcorder.

> Press RECORD to prepare BeoCord V 8000 for recording.

> Press RECORD again to start recording.

> Press V TAPE and then STOP to pause a recording.

> Press RECORD to resume a paused recording, or…

> …press STOP again to stop a recording entirely.

If the signal from the Camcorder is switched off…

> Press LIST repeatedly to display CAMCORD on

Beo4 and press GO .

In order to display CAMCORD on Beo4, you must first add it to the Beo4 list of functions. For further information, refer to the chapter

‘Customise Beo4’ on page 18 in the Reference book.

Maintenance of BeoSystem 1

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning BeoSystem 1, is the responsibility of the user. To achieve the best result, follow the instructions to the right. Contact your

Bang & Olufsen retailer to determine recommendations for regular maintenance.

Any defective parts are covered by the guarantee during the warranty period.

Cleaning surfaces…

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dirt with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in a solution of water containing only a few drops of mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of BeoSystem 1!

Cleaning the Beo4

Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth.

Changing the batteries…

When ‘BATTERY’ appears in the Beo4 display, it is time to change the batteries in the remote control.

The Beo4 requires three batteries. We recommend that you use Alkaline batteries only (1.5 volt – size AAA). Replace the batteries as shown on this page. Keep a finger on top of the batteries until the lid is replaced.

When you have replaced the batteries, you must wait for about 10 seconds until ‘TV’ appears in the display. The Beo4 remote control is then ready for use again.
