SETUPS

A mechanism constructed using several components can generally only be
put together in one way, if the intended result is to be achieved. For
example, a gear box in a car will not work at its best if you do not fit all the
necessary gear wheels. If you manage to fit one gear wheel too many this is
likely to cause problems.
The point of the above is that you can only make things work properly by
putting them together in the way they were designed.
This also applies to the Bang & Olufsen BeoLink system. In theory Bang &
Olufsen products can be combined in many different ways. As it would be
totally impossible to gain an overview of even a fraction of the many
combination possibilities, Bang & Olufsen has selected the most attractive
setups. These selected combinations are referred to as recommended
setups. The recommended setups are the focus of product development
and service.
When planning a BeoLink system, it is therefore very important to adhere
to the recommended setups.
If the recommended setups are not followed, you could easily risk finding
yourself in the same situation as that mentioned above, i.e having a gear
box with one gear wheel too many or too few.
In addition, Bang & Olufsen ONLY services the recommended setups.
One of the conditions required for the setups to function optimally is that
the products included in the setup "know" the type of system they form
part of.
The actual option programming is performed by entering a particular key
sequence on the remote control.
When you use Beo4, the programming sequences are as follows:
Press and hold down the button
V
then
Press to access the setup function. The display on Beo4 shows
t
[OPTION?] – release both buttons
Press to accept that you wish to perform option programming
O
Press to change the text on the display to
t
[V.OPT] for BeoVision, or
[A.OPT] for Beomaster/BeoSound, or
[L.OPT] for link room products
then
Press the correct number for the selected option, e.g. 1.
