During setup of a source via the SOURCE
LIST SETUP menu, you can select how a
Peripheral Unit Controller (PUC) product,
such as a set-top box (STB), is connected.
You must select which socket the PUC
cable is connected to (1A, 1B, 2A or 2B).
Then you choose between PLUG (cable)
and IR BLASTER. If you select PLUG,
you
must choose between MODULATION
ON
and MODULATION OFF. For information
about type of cable and
modulation
settings, contact your retailer.
IR-transmitters: To operate non-Bang&
Olufsen products with a Beo4/Beo6 remote
control, attach a Bang& Olufsen IR-
transmitter on your non-Bang& Olufsen
product and then connect it to the
corresponding socket marked PUC on the
connection panel. Attach the transmitter
near the IR-receiver on the connected
equipment to ensure remote control
operation. Before attaching it, check that
you can operate the equipment menus on
the television screen using the Beo4/Beo6
remote control.
For an extra PUC cable, contact your retailer.
For information about download of PUC
tables for set-top boxes, see page11 and
page37.
If you want to watch coded channels,
contact your service provider. The
service provider will register you as an
authorised viewer, usually requiring
payment. You will then be provided
with a Smart Card and a CA Module.
Note that these will only be valid for
one service provider and therefore only
works with certain channels.
The CA module is a ‘card reader’ for your
Smart Card which decodes the coded
signals sent out by the service provider.
Only uncoded digital channels, also
known as ‘free-to-air’ channels, are
available without Smart Cards and CA
Modules.
Smart Cards and CA Modules may also
give access to special menus which are
not described here. If this is the case,
follow the instructions from your service
provider.
Contact your retailer for information about
compatible CA Modules.
The Smart Cards must remain in the CA
Modules, unless your service provider asks
you to remove them. This is important in
case your service provider wishes to send
new information to your Smart Card.
Insert a Smart Card carefully into a CA
Module.
The CA Module has one protruding edge on
one side and two protruding edges on the
other side. If the television does not receive
any signal, check that the Smart Card and
CA Modules are inserted correctly.

Set up additional equipment
If you connect additional video
equipment to your television,
you can register the equipment
in the SOURCE LIST SETUP menu.
When the television is switched
on and you connect additional
equipment to the HDMIIN
socket, the television will detect
an uncongured source. A
message appears on the screen
and you can follow on-screen
instructions to congure the
source.
From the main menu, you can also
bring up the SOURCE LIST SETUP
menu for a specic source, select
SOURCE LIST, highlight the source
and press the red button. Then you
will be asked to name the source and
dedicate a button to the source. You
can now operate the source.
Sources have default settings, for
example sound and picture, that suit
most situations but you can change
these settings if you wish. Select the
source and select the ADVANCED
SETTINGS menu.
If your Beo6 remote control has been
congured to the sources set up in
the television and you change the
source button in the television, the
source button for the specic source
in the Beo6 display will no longer
work. Contact your Bang& Olufsen
retailer to have your Beo6 remote
control recongured.
Registering the equipment connected to
the television enables you to operate it
with your Beo4/Beo6 remote control.
When new equipment is detected, a menu is
displayed with the following options: DO
NOTHING, SHOW SOURCE and CONFIGURE
THE SOURCE CONNECTED TO THIS INPUT. If
you want to set up the equipment, use the
navigation button up or down to highlight
the last option and press the centre button
to bring up a setup menu.
Download a PUC table
During the conguration procedure, you are
asked if you want to be able to control the
connected equipment with your remote
control. Follow on-screen instructions to
download a Peripheral Unit Controller (PUC)
table.*1 The television must be connected to
the Internet.
If your connected equipment is not on the
download list, there is currently no control
solution for it and you must select
UNSUPPORTED SOURCE. You will not be
able to operate your equipment with your
Beo4/Beo6 remote control. Contact a
Bang& Olufsen retailer for more
information.
You can search with latin characters and
numbers. For equipment names with non-
latin characters you can search for a part of
the name that includes latin characters. You
can also use the browse functions to locate
the correct PUC table.

Loudspeaker setup – surround sound
Add BeoLab speakers and a
BeoLab subwoofer to your
television and you have a
surround sound system which
ts easily into your living room.
You get the best sound
experience in the area bounded
by the speakers.
You can also create speaker
groups to customise the speaker
setup for listening positions other
than the one in front of the
television, for example, at the
dining table or in an armchair.
This guide describes how to
make a basic loudspeaker setup.
For a more advanced sound
settings and adjustments, see
the Technical Sound Guide on
www.beoplay.com/v1/support.
For information about daily use
of speaker groups, see page 24.
Set up the speakers
When setting up the speakers, you must

Create speaker groups
You can make different speaker groups
for different listening positions or
loudspeaker combinations. For each
group you must assign roles to the
speakers, set the distance between the
speakers and your listening position and
calibrate the sound level. 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 of the other speakers in the group.
You can also name the speaker groups or
delete groups you do not want to keep.
The TV speaker group is a predened
group you can set up for when you sit in
front of the television.
Assigning roles to the connected loudspeakers
allows you to specify the speakers’ function
in a surround sound system and the number
of speakers to be used.
Press the red button to activate the speaker
group if you have highlighted TV or an
existing group.
You cannot rename or delete the TV speaker
group. See page24 on daily use of speaker

Set up sound modes
The television has several sound modes
optimised for different types of
programmes. However, if you wish, you
can adjust the values in the sound
modes to your liking. The sound modes
have predened names. For example,
use MOVIE when watching from a DVD
or Blu-ray or use GAME to enhance the
sound when using a game console. The
CUSTOM sound mode can be set up if
you wish to dene a new type of use
and settings and it is the only mode you
