An object consisting of several parts can usually only be assembled in one
way if the intended result is to be achieved. For example, a gearbox for a
car will not perform optimally according to the specifications if you omit
installing some of the gearwheels. If you manage to install one gearwheel
too many, that will most likely cause trouble as well.
The point of the above is that things must be put together in the way
they were designed to, if they are to perform optimally.
The same applies to Bang & Olufsen's BeoLink. In theory, Bang &
Olufsen's products may be connected in thousands of different ways.
Since it would be totally impossible to have an overview of just a fraction
of this multitude of connection possibilities, Bang & Olufsen has selected
the most attractive combinations. These selected combinations are called
recommended setups. The recommended setups are the ones which are
focused on in connection with product development and service.
When a BeoLink system is configured it is therefore very important that
this is done in accordance with the recommended setups.
If the recommended setups are not followed, the result may easily be the
same as with the gearbox with too many or too few gearwheels.
Bang & Olufsen services the recommended setups ONLY.
One of the conditions for the recommended setups to perform optimally
is that the products included in the setup "know" in what kind of
environment they are placed.
The actual option programming is executed by pressing a certain
sequence of keys on the terminal.
For the Beo4 terminal the key sequence is the following:
Press and hold
then
Press to access the setup function. The Beo4 display reads
[OPTION?] - let go of both buttons
Press to access Option-programming
Press to display [V.OPT] BeoVision, or
then
Key in the number of the appropriate Option, e.g. 1
[A.OPT] Beomaster/BeoSound, or
[L.OPT] link room products
