Inputs

As can be seen on the connector panel
shown in Figure 6.5, the BeoLab 90 has
a total of eight di erent audio inputs as
follows:
Bang & Olufsen Proprietary
Power Link (analogue)
Wireless Power Link (digital)
Digital inputs
S/PDIF (or "coaxial")
Optical
USB Audio
Analogue inputs
XLR (or "balanced line")
RCA Phono (or "unbalanced line")
Wireless inputs

The technical specifications for these
can be found in Inputs.
It is possible to enable an audio source
connected to an input either manually
(via the BeoLab 90 interface) or
automatically, as described below.

Selection Priority

If the BeoLab 90 is set to automatically
detect an input signal, then it may be
necessary to customise the
prioritisation of the sources. For
example, if you have a CD player
connected to the S/PDIF input and a
turntable connected to the XLR input,
and both sources are playing, this
parameter allows you to determine
which source should "win" and be
played by the BeoLab 90.
This prioritisation can be personalised
by changing the vertical order of the
inputs on BeoLab 90 interface in the
Input Select menu (press the "..." icon
at the top right to enter the edit mode).

6.1.2 Manual Selection

RCA
There may be cases where you prefer
MANUAL SENSE
to manually select an input. In this
Optical
case, you can drag the input into the
USB-Audio
"Manual Sense" list at the bottom of
the Inputs menu screen. In this case, a
signal on one of these inputs will not
be automatically detected by the
BeoLab 90 and must therefore be
switched on and o manually.
Note that it is possible to manually
select inputs without the smartphone
interface using the BeoRemote 1
remote control. For a description of
how to do this, including instructions
on setting up the BeoRemote 1, please
see Section 21.
6.2 Individual Input
Parameters
Note that not all controls are available
for all inputs.

6.2.1 Re-naming

It is possible to re-name the inputs
labels in the BeoLab 90 interface by
entering the edit mode of the Inputs
menu, selecting an input, and then
press-and-hold the name of the input
at the top of the screen.

Player" or "Turntable", for example)
