BeoSound 2000 music system and make it ready for use.
It also explains the correct use and assembly of two
optional accessories: the active FM antenna and the

this guide.

4ASSEMBLING
Glass door
Fasten the glass door by inserting its metal bracket into
the corresponding slot on the front of the BeoSound
2000. The bracket must be inserted with the imprinted
mark “UP” facing upwards. Press gently on the glass
door until it is properly seated.
When properly assembled, the edges of the door will
be aligned with the edges of the centre part of the
BeoSound 2000.
Treat the glass door with great
care! If it crack or chip, or if it is
damaged in any other way, it
must be replaced immediately
as it could otherwise cause
bodily harm. You can order a
replacement door through your
Bang & Olufsen dealer.

PLACEMENT
Your BeoSound 2000 can be placed standing in its base
on the floor, or on a shelf or a table – or, hanging on
the wall, using the wall bracket (optional accessory –
type no. 2088). See the section “Optional Accessories”
on how to install the wall bracket.
Light reflected off large objects placed too close to
BeoSound 2000’s left side may prevent the glass door
from closing. Therefore, test the door function on your
BeoSound 2000 before you e.g. drill holes in the wall for
a wall bracket.
The slim cabinet allows placement in confined spaces.
Avoid placing your system in direct sunlight, near
radiators or other sources of heat. Place the system so
that ventilation will not be impeded.
Base
The base supplied is designed, and must be used, to
support the BeoSound 2000 when it is placed standing
up. Standing without its base, your BeoSound 2000 will
not be stable enough to secure safe operation!
B
C
Leave a space of 5 cm (2")
above or to the sides of the
system in order to allow
sufficient ventilation.
To attach the base:
Place the BeoSound 2000 music
system lying on its rear side on
e.g. a table, and then:
B Insert the two front pegs on
the base into the correspond-
ing holes in the bottom plate
of the system.
C Move the rear part of the
base towards the system, so
that the rear pegs engage the
notches in the rear edge of
the bottom plate.

6CONNECTIONS

READY FOR USE…
When you have finished setting up your BeoSound
2000, connect it to the mains using the mains lead
provided. The source buttons (i.e. RADIO, CD, TAPE,
AUX) and the stand-by button lights up in red for a few
seconds. When the door is closed, the red light in the
stand-by button indicates that the system is in stand-by
mode, ready to be used.
Choosing the antenna you want to use
The antenna input for FM signals has two options:
• An option which is optimized for use with the
optional active FM antenna.
• An option which is optimized for use with other types
of antenna (this is the factory setting).
If you have fitted the active FM antenna, select the
active antenna option. Later on, when using other FM
antennas, remember to cut out the active antenna
option again in order to obtain optimal reception.
Remote control
Your BeoSound 2000 facilitates operation from a Bang
& Olufsen remote control. Please refer to the User's
guide for further information.
You may, if you wish, disable the remote control
function. Later on, if you regret, you can cut the
function in again.
To complete the setting-up
procedure, make your
presettings of sound levels,
favourite radio stations, etc. as
described in the User's guide
for your BeoSound 2000.
NOTE:
These particular presettings are done by pressing the buttons on
the BeoSound 2000 even though they are not lit up in red!
To select the active antenna
option:
press • (stand-by)
press TUNE, 1, STORE
The digit 1 is briefly displayed.
To cut out the active antenna
option:
press • (stand-by)
press TUNE, 0, STORE

8OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES*
Active FM antenna (type no. 2036)
The active antenna is an attractive alternative to a per-
manent FM antenna. When properly installed this
accessory doubles as a carrying handle.
Wall Bracket (type no. 2088)
The wall bracket is provided with two slots for the
mounting screws. Use two solid screws – and the appro-
priate wall plugs – to fasten the bracket to the wall (as
illustrated).
DD
To install the active FM
antenna:
1 Unscrew the two screws (D)
and remove the two plastic
covers held by them.
2 Place the antenna in the two
recesses, and fasten it with
the two screws supplied with
the antenna.
To ensure correct function of
your antenna, it is essential
that you use the two screws
supplied with it, and that you
tighten them properly!
3 Plug the antenna cable into
the socket marked FM and
arrange the cable in the
groove.
4 Activate the antenna as de-
scribed in the section "Ready
for use".

To install the wall bracket:
• Make your measurements and
decide where to place the
wall bracket, using the above
diagram.
• Mark and drill the holes in
the wall, using the wall
bracket as a template.
• Fasten the wall bracket to the
wall, using wall plugs and
screws as appropriate.
• Attach the spacer (E) to the
rear grill of the BeoSound
2000 music system.
• Hang your music system,
using the two holes (F), onto
the two hooks which now
protrude from the wall.
NOTE: Make sure that the holes
are properly engaged with the
notch in each hook!
Important installation note!
Interior walls are often con-
structed of gypsum panels –
known as drywall or wall board
– secured to vertical studs.
Gypsum is not a satisfactory
material to support the weight
of the BeoSound 2000 system.
If you wish to hang your system
on a gypsum wall, using the
wall bracket, we recommend
that at least one mounting
screw be a lag screw, which is
screwed securely into a vertical
wooden wall stud.
* The optional accessories for
the BeoSound 2000 are avail-
able at your Bang & Olufsen
dealer.

10 MAINTENANCE
Before you start cleaning your BeoSound 2000, we re-
commend that you disconnect it from the mains to
prevent the glass door from opening and closing auto-
matically. While the system is disconnected, you may
open the glass door manually. It requires only a little,
gentle force to do so.
The glass door can be removed and cleaned on the
inside, if required. To remove the glass door, simply
grip it tightly and then gently but firmly pull it
outwards. To clean the glass door, we recommend that
you use a mild window cleaner.
Fasten the door again as described in the section
"Assembling" earlier in this guide, and reconnect the
system to the mains.
The fronts of the BeoSound 2000 speakers can be re-
placed. Please contact your Bang & Olufsen dealer.
Tape path
The tape path – that is, the tape heads, pinch rollers
and other parts which the tape touches during
playback or recording – should be cleaned every now
and then to avoid dust and fluff build-up. It is a good
idea to clean the tape path prior to making an
important recording.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe
dust off the BeoSound 2000
music system.
Do not use alcohol or other
solvents to clean any part of the
BeoSound 2000!
Use a tape head maintenance
kit or simply a cotton wool stick
dipped in a rinsing fluid
intended for this purpose. The
cleaning process must be
carried out while there is no
cassette in the tape
compartment.

11
Handling your Compact Discs
Compact Discs (CD's) should be handled and stored
with the same care as conventional records. If the CD is
always held by the edges and placed in its original
cassette after playing, no cleaning will be required.
Should the CD become soiled by fingerprints, dust or
dirt, it can be wiped with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry
cloth. No solvents or abrasive cleaners should ever be
used on the CD. Avoid extreme heat and humidity, and
never write on your CDs.
Handling your Compact Cassettes
Compact Cassettes (tapes) should always be stored in a
protective box at normal room temperature. Avoid
extreme temperatures and humidity.
Before loading your Compact Cassette make sure that
the tape is tightly wound. If not, try using a pencil or
other thin object to tighten the tape.
You may protect your recordings from unintentional
erasure by removing one or both latches on the rear
edge of the cassette. Removing a latch will prevent the
tape recorder from recording on the appropriate side
of the cassette.
If, later on, you want to make a recording on a tape
thus protected, just replace the appropriate latch by a
piece of tape to release the recording lock.
Start Bang & Olufsen
12
Always wipe the CD in a
straight line from centre to
edge.
The latch on the left
corresponds to recordings on
side 1 (A), and the latch on the
right corresponds to recordings
on side 2 (B).
