If your television is equipped with the

optional surround sound module,

you can create a surround sound

setup.

A surround sound setup fits easily

into your living room. Let the picture

determine your ideal listening and

viewing position. You get the best

sound experience in the area created

by the speakers.

This chapter explains how to set up

speakers for surround sound, as well

as how to make the adjustments

necessary to get the best sound.

The three illustrations to the right show

examples of how you can place the television

and speakers.

The following guidelines apply for all speaker

setups:

If you have two different sets of speakers,

always use your most powerful speakers as

front speakers.

Place your speakers where you want them

before you connect them.

Place your rear speakers on either side behind

your favourite listening position.

You do not necessarily have to place the

speakers in the corners of the room.

If you want to connect a BeoLab 2 subwoofer,

refer to the subwoofers own Guide.

When you have connected speakers in a

surround sound setup to the television, you

must perform a speaker calibration.

A calibration sound is produced alternately in

each of the speakers you have connected in

your surround sound setup. Your task is to

adjust the sound level from all the connected

speakers to match the sound level from the

centre speaker. You can choose whether you

want the sound sequence to occur

automatically or manually.

Once you have performed your speaker

calibration, you will only need to re-calibrate

the speaker sound if you make changes to the

The main room system must be connected to

the link room system with a Master Link

cable:

> Connect the Master Link cable to the socket

marked MASTER LINK on the television.

> If you want to distribute video signals as well,

connect an ordinary aerial cable to the socket

marked LINK TV OUT on the television. Then

run the aerial cable to the RF Link Amplier and

the Master Link cable to the link room. Follow

the instructions enclosed with the link room

equipment.

If an audio system is already connected to the

Master Link socket and you wish to connect more

equipment, the Master Link cable must be split in

two and joined with the cable from the link room

using a special junction box. Contact your Bang &

Olufsen retailer for assistance.

Digital audio and video signals cannot be

distributed from a main room television to the link

room system.

The BeoLink system makes it possible

to distribute picture and/or sound to

other rooms throughout the house.

For example, you can connect your

television in the living room to

another video system or set of

speakers in another room, thereby

making it possible to move the

picture or sound to other rooms.

If you have a BeoLink distribution

system installed, you can either use

your television in the main room,

such as a living room, or in a link

room, such as a study or bedroom.

Under certain circumstances, it may

be necessary to enter modulator

settings.

System modulator

If you have an audio setup, such as a BeoLink

Active/Passive, and you choose to set up a

Link frequency

If, for example, a TV program in your area is

broadcasted on the same frequency as the

BeoLink system uses, 599 MHz, you must tune

the system modulator to an unoccupied

frequency. When you change the link

frequency in the main room system, make

sure that the link frequency in the link room

system corresponds to it.

To change the link frequency

If you have placed your BeoCenter 6

in a room where you already have a

Bang & Olufsen television, and

commands from Beo4 can be

received by both televisions, you

must change the option setting of

BeoCenter 6. This prevents

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Environmental protection The European Parliament and the Council of the

European Union have issued the Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment Directive. The purpose of

the Directive is the prevention of waste of electrical

and electronic equipment, and to promote the reuse

and recycling and other forms of recovery of such

waste. As such the Directive concerns producers,

distributors and consumers.

The WEEE directive requires that both manufacturers

and end-consumers dispose of electrical and

electronic equipment and parts in an environmentally

safe manner, and that equipment and waste are

reused or recovered for their materials or energy.

Electrical and electronic equipment and parts must

not be disposed of with ordinary household refuse;

all electrical and electronic equipment and parts

must be collected and disposed of separately.

Products and equipment which must be collected

for reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery are

marked with the pictogram shown.

When disposing of electrical and electronic equip-

ment by use of the collection systems available in

your country, you protect the environment, human

health and contribute to the prudent and rational

use of natural resources. Collecting electrical and

electronic equipment and waste prevents the

potential contamination of nature with the

hazardous substances which may be present in

electrical and electronic products and equipment.

Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will assist with and

advise you of the correct way of disposal in your

country.

Small products may not always be marked with

the pictogram in which case this is present in the

instructions for use, on the guarantee certificate

and printed on the packaging.

This product fulfils the conditions stated

in the EEU directives 89/336 and 73/23.
