Connection to non-Bang & Olufsen
systems
The loudspeaker may be connected to most
non-Bang & Olufsen audio or video systems
equipped with a non-regulated LINE level
output (volume levels are adjusted in the
built-in loudspeaker amplifiers, not in the
audio or video system).
The loudspeaker may also be connected to
most systems with a digital output socket
(SPDIF).
When connecting to non-Bang & Olufsen systems,
remember to change the 'Option' setting to either
1 or 4, as explained in 'Adapt BeoLab 5 to your
system' (p. 11).

LINE connections
Use ordinary phono cables to connect each
loudspeaker directly to your system.
If the LINE output level exceeds 2 V RMS, you must
set each loudspeaker to accommodate a higher
input level (> 2 V RMS ≤ 4 V RMS), as explained in
Adapt BeoLab 5 to your system (p. 11).
'Syncr.' connection
Connection between the two loudspeakers. The
connection ensures that both loudspeakers always
play at the same volume level.
Use a Bang & Olufsen approved cable with a
mini-jack plug in each end to connect the two
loudspeakers in a setup.

DIGITAL connections
If your system has a digital output socket, we
recommend that you connect the loudspeakers to
this socket as well. This ensures optimal sound
quality when playing digital sources.
Use Bang & Olufsen approved phono cables to
connect the loudspeakers to your system.
When using digital connections, remember to set
the switch marked RIGHT–LEFT to the correct
position on each loudspeaker!
