8
You can extend your system into a
fully equipped Home theatre system
by connecting four Bang & Olufsen
loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2
subwoofer*.
When you switch on BeoVision 5 or
one of the sources connected to it,
the speakers which you may have in
a surround sound system can be cut
in or out, depending on what kind of
sound suits the source you are using.
BeoVision 5 may switch on a speaker
combination automatically. This
happens if e.g. a broadcasted
programme or DVD contains
information about the number of
speakers to be switched on. You are
still free to choose the speaker
combination you prefer.
You can also adjust the picture
dimensions to fill out the screen and
complete the Home theatre
experience.
*NOTE! Refer to the BeoVision 5 CD-rom and
the chapter Loudspeaker setup – surround sound
for further information.
