Adjust sound settings
Store your preferred sound
settings. When you store a
sound setting, your system starts
playing at this level every time
you switch it on.
Sound settings are preset from
the factory to neutral values
which suit most listening
situations.
When you connect BeoLab5
speakers to the music system,
this must be set up in the
SPEAKER TYPE menu.
The SOUND menu is not available
when your music system is set to
Option 0.
Adjust volume, bass or treble
You can preset levels for sound volume,
bass, treble and balance.
The loudness feature compensates for
the human ear’s lack of sensitivity to
high and low frequencies. These
frequencies are boosted at low volume
levels so that low music becomes more
dynamic.
Make sound settings…
> Use the pointer to highlight MODE.
> Turn the wheel to select SETTINGS and
press GO.
> Use the pointer to highlight SOUND.
> Turn the wheel to select the sound
element you wish to adjust; VOLUME,

setting and press GO to store.
While adjusting sound, the speakers react
according to the adjustment.

software and read about the
latest software in your product.
The advanced menu SUBMIT LOGS TO

products error logs and sends them
compressed to Bang & Olufsen over
the Internet. These can only be
submitted successfully when
requested by technician.
Clean-up function

time operation that does not affect the
setting ‘AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPDATE’.
NOTE! Playback is affected when updating

press GO.
> Use the pointer to highlight SERVICE
SETTINGS.

Network setup
The system can be set up in a
network either with a wired or a
wireless connection. For the most
reliable network connection
Bang& Olufsen recommends
making a wired connection.
Bang& Olufsen also recommends
the use of a separate router and
access point – a Network Link
router – to ensure the most
reliable playback of digital music.
Installation and setting-up of the
BeoSound should always be
made by a Bang & Olufsen
installer.
For more information about
Bang& Olufsen network setup,
contact your retailer.
Network Link router
The BeoSound5 must be connected to
the Network Link router. This can be a
wired connected or a wireless
connection. When using the internal
hard disk we recommend a wired
connection. A wireless solution requires
a wireless USB network adaptor, which
must be purchased separately. Once
connected BeoSound5 can play back
music stored on a NAS also connected to
the Network Link router.
When using a NAS, music must of course be
available on the NAS.
See network information
You can see the settings made for your
network connection in the NETWORK
INFO menu.
> Use the pointer to highlight MODE on
your music system.
> Turn the wheel to select SETTINGS and
press GO.
> Use the pointer to highlight NETWORK
INFO. You can now see the settings made
for your network connection.

Host name, IP address and client password
In some cases you need information
about the host name, IP address and

setup, for example, if your router has
been disconnected.
The information can be looked up in the
NETWORK INFO menu, but if you want

How to make music available
Before you start using your
system, you must connect it to
the internet and make the music
sources you wish to use available.
Your music system has multiple
sources for your music
experience – internet radio,
music from a source connected
to BeoMaster5 via line-in
(optional accessory required),
your BeoMaster5 or even a
Network Attached Storage
device (NAS).
Your retailer can help you set up
the system and make sources
available.
If the internal hard disk is used,
music must be transferred to
BeoMaster5 in order to be
played. This is done via a PC or
MAC using the dedicated
BeoConnect software, or via the
optional CD Ripping Device.
BeoConnect software
The BeoConnect software must be
installed on the computer connected to
the BeoMaster5. Connections and
setting up should be made by an
authorised Bang & Olufsen installer.
BeoConnect for Windows software can be
downloaded here:
www.bang-olufsen.com/software-
downloads
The Guide for BeoConnect for Windows is
included with the software but can also be
downloaded here:
www.bang-olufsen.com/guides
BeoConnect software for MAC can be
downloaded here:
www.bang-olufsen.com/software-
downloads
The Guide for BeoConnect for MAC is
included with the software but can also be
downloaded from the website.
You can also use Windows Media Player to
rip your CDs and transfer music to
BeoMaster5, and you can use Windows
Explorer to organise, or use iTunes if you like,
but BeoConnect must be installed on your
computer as it serves as the ‘link’ to
BeoMaster5.
See www.bang-olufsen.com/faq and look
up BeoSound5 for more information.
