READY FOR USE
Once you have assembled the speakers they are ready for connection to the audio system (or video system), and to the mains (see assembly instructions on the enclosed instruction sheet).
Placement
The BeoLab 8000 occupies very little space on the floor. In fact, it can be placed wherever it is most convenient for your room layout, and for your preferred listening position.
The BeoLab 8000 is designed for use in dry environments only!
CONNECTIONS
Connect the BeoLab 8000 and the audio system (or video system) using the enclosed 8-pin Power Link cable. Plug one end into the Power Link socket on the speaker, and the other end into either of the two Power Link sockets on the audio/video system.
Once you have connected the speakers, the switch underneath the Power Link socket on the BeoLab 8000 must be set to L or R: L for the left-hand speaker, R for the right-hand speaker.
Finally, connect the speakers to the mains using the enclosed mains lead. To secure the mains cord from being disconnected, we advise you to tie the mains cord to the black lid with the enclosed cable-tier (A).
The phono socket underneath the switch must be used instead of the Power Link socket if the BeoLab 8000 is to be connected to a non-Bang & Olufsen product. In this case, the switch must be set to LINE.
Note: The type number of the BeoLab 8000 speaker appears on the label which is placed on the inside of the socket panel cover.
The rubber tube packed with the speaker is a cable cover specially designed for the BeoLab 8000. Use the enclosed tool to "zip up" the cable cover when you have placed both the mains cord and the Power Link cable inside it.
You may connect more than one pair (as many as ten pairs, in fact) of BeoLab 8000 speakers to your audio or video system.
The special adaptor, part no. 6270706, can be used to connect additional pairs of BeoLab 8000 speakers to your Bang & Olufsen system. The adaptor is available as an optional accessory from your Bang & Olufsen dealer.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The moment you connect the speaker to the mains, a tiny red light appears immediately above the con, behind the cloth, indicating the speaker is on stand-by.
When you switch on your Bang & Olufsen system, the BeoLab 8000 speakers switch on simultaneously.
The red stand-by light turns green, indicating that the speaker is switched on.
When you switch off your system, or when you mute the sound, the red light appears immediately, indicating that the speakers are switched off.
If the BeoLab 8000 speakers are connected to a non-Bang & Olufsen system, via the phono sockets, they switch on when they receive a signal from the system. They switch off a few minutes after the signal has disappeared.
Maintenance
Clean the BeoLab 8000 speakers 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, e.g. a dish washing liquid.
This product fulfils the cond i tions stated in the EEU direct ives 89/336 and 73/23.
We recommend that you remove any dust on the black base using a soft brush before you clean it with a sponge.
Note: Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean the BeoLab 8000 speakers!
