room and link room.

between the products in the main room and those in the link room but it
is also the connection between the audio system and the video system.
Option programming is executed via a Beolink terminal and with the
products concerned in stand-by.
Upon completed option programming, the products "know" what kind of
environment they are placed in, and they can then be operated and
function optimally.

which provides answers to any questions concerning compatibility, setups,
options, terminals, special conditions, and much more.
