R E A D Y F O R U S E . . .
To complete the setting-up procedure, make your presettings of sound levels, favourite radio stations, etc. as described in the
User’s guide for your Beocenter
9300.
When you have finished setting up your Beocenter 9300 and your other equipment, connect the Beocenter to the mains. A red dot appears in the display of the Beocenter indicating that the system is in stand-by mode, ready to be used.
If you have a compatible Bang & Olufsen TV connected to your Beocenter, you must program both systems according to your particular setup. The Beocenter 9300 can be programmed for these setups (options):
• Option 1. To be used for a setup with your Beocenter
9300 and the Beovision placed together in one room
(this is the factory setting).
• Option 2. To be used for a setup with the Beocenter 9300 placed in one room and your Beovision placed in another.
• Option 0. To be used if you want to disable remote control operation of the Beocenter 9300 (to enable remote control again, select one of the other options).
To do the programming, switch both systems to stand-by and use your Beolink 1000 remote control:
• Direct the Beolink 1000 towards your Beocenter, then press SOUND, the appropriate option number (1, 2, or 0), and then STORE.
The selected option number will be shown in the
Beocenter display.
• Direct the Beolink 1000 towards your Beovision TV, then press PICTURE, the appropriate option number (1 or 2), and then STORE.

NOTE: Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of your
Beocenter 9300.
M A I N T E N A N C E
Use a tape head maintenance kit or simply a cotton wool stick dipped in a rinsing fluid intended for this purpose. The cleaning process must be carried out while there is no cassette in the tape compartment.
Clean the surfaces of the Beocenter using a soft, firmly wrung, lint-free cloth which you have dipped in a solution of lukewarm water containing a few drops of mild detergent, for example a dish washing detergent.
Before cleaning the glass panels, we recommend that you disconnect the Beocenter from the mains. A mild window cleaner sprayed on a dry cloth will do to remove fingerprints and grease stains on the glass panels.
Tape path
The tape path - that is, the tape heads, pinch rollers and other parts which the tape touches during playback or recording - should be cleaned every now and then to avoid dust and fluff buildup. It is a good idea to clean the tape path prior to making an important recording.
Untitled-1 10 27-06-00, 13:27
Handling your Compact Discs
Compact Discs (CD's) should be handled and stored with the same care as conventional records. If the CD is always held by the edges and placed in its original cassette after playing, no cleaning will be required.
Should the CD become soiled by fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry cloth. No solvents or abrasive cleaners should ever be used on the CD.
Avoid extreme heat and humidity, and never write on your
CDs.
Always wipe the CD in a straight line from centre to edge.
Handling your Compact Cassettes
Compact Cassettes (tapes) should always be stored in a protective box at normal room temperature. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
Before loading your Compact Cassette make sure that the tape is tightly wound. If not, try using a pencil or other thin object to tighten the tape.
You may protect your recordings from unintentional erasure by removing one or both latches on the rear edge of the cassette. Removing a latch will prevent the tape recorder from recording on the appropriate side of the cassette.
If, later on, you want to make a recording on a tape thus protected, just replace the appropriate latch by a piece of tape to release the recording lock.
The latch on the left corresponds to recordings on side 1 (A), and the latch on the right corresponds to recordings on side 2 (B).
