Bang & Olufsen BEOLINK VIDEO User manual

BEOLINK VIDEO 1
With the BeoLink Video kit and an
extra Bang & Olufsen TV set, your
main Bang & Olufsen system gets an
extra dimension.
Of course, you still have the benefit of
an extra TV set which you can use
quite independently of the TV in your
main system.
But now you can also play any source
you like in your main system, and – via
your BeoLink installation – you can
see and hear it in the room with the
BeoLink Video kit and your extra TV.
This guide explains how...

..Sound and pictures in other rooms
Your main Bang & Olufsen audio-, video-, or AV
system and your BeoLink Video setup must be
interconnected by a BeoLink installation.
Together the BeoLink Video kit and
your extra Bang & Olufsen TV give your
main Bang & Olufsen system an extra
dimension:
• On your extra TV, you can watch any
video source you like from your main
system.
• Via the speakers in your extra TV, you
can listen to any audio source you
like from your main system.
• You can control a number of daily
functions in your main system from
the room with your extra TV.
• And, of course, you can use your
extra TV on its own.
All you need is the Beo4 remote
control for the TV, and your main
system can be used in your BeoLink
Video room as well.
But your extra TV is also your interface with your
main system: Your remote control commands are
received by the TV, and – via the BeoLink Video
kit and your BeoLink installation – the TV
communicates your instructions to your main
Bang & Olufsen system.
You can operate your extra TV
as usual using the Beo4
remote control.

REMOTE OPERATION 5
Using the Beo4 remote control
The Beo4 remote control is the key to
your BeoLink Video setup.
Apart from operating your extra TV,
Beo4 also enables you to switch on any
source you like (audio/video) in your
main Bang & Olufsen system in order
to watch or listen to it on your extra
TV.
You can then control the daily
playback functions for the source – just
as if you were operating your main
system directly, using the Beo4 remote
control.
You will find that Beo4 and your
BeoLink Video setup both respond
readily to your instructions – giving you
sound and pictures from your main
system within seconds after pressing
the button.
See how on the next few pages...
Using the Beo4 remote control, you can:
• Operate your extra Bang & Olufsen TV as
usual (see how in your TV User’s guide).
• Watch any video source you like (a video
tape, a satellite program, etc.) from your
main system on your extra TV (see how on
page 6).
• Listen to any audio source you like (a radio
program, a CD, a tape, etc.) from your main
system via the speakers in your extra TV (see
how on page 6).
• Operate a number of daily playback func-
tions for the audio or video source that is
currently playing (see how on page 6).
• Include your extra TV speakers in a Timer
Play programming of your main system (see
page 11).
The Beo4 remote control is enclosed with all
recent Bang & Olufsen TVs.
