Extending cables
Cat 7 cables
Cat 7 cables should never be extended. They must be run in the appropriate length from product to product, from wall outlet to distribution frame
or from product to wall outlet.
HDMI cables
HDMI cables may be used up to 10 m / 33 ft. When longer HDMI cables are needed they must be of the active type or an HDMI extender may be
used (e.g. the recommended solution from Atlona; see page 14 and page 16.
CAN bus cable for Floor Stand
The CAN bus cable for the oor stand with BeoVision 12-65 is 9.8 m / 32.2 ft long. If the cable between the BeoVision 12-65 and the BeoSystem
4 is longer, the CAN bus cable can be cut at an appropriate place, and extended by applying Network Link Product Cable; see page 61, (Cat 7
cable). The cables are assembled by two Power Link Junction Boxes (Bang & Olufsen Part No. 3132055).
The cabling is explained and illustrated in the following two scenarios:
- Hidden installation via wall outlet to the BeoSystem 4 placed in the Technical Room or similar cabinet, see page 12. The cables are connected
using the Power Link Junction Boxes.
- Visible installation using Cat 7. Cables are connected using the Power Link Junction Boxes, and run directly to the BeoSystem 4, see page 13.
Note: The maximum length of the Cat 7 cable, used to extend the 9.8 m/32.2 ft CAN bus cable, is 50 m/164 ft .
Note: To ensure correct quality of the signal and as little signal loss as possible, two wires of the Cat 7 cable is used per wire in the CAN cable; see
example page 11.

Shortening IR-blaster cables - PUC cables 19
Shortening IR-blaster cables - PUC cables
The IR-blaster cable enclosed for PUC control with the products is often too long. It is good installation practice to shorten cables to get rid of
excessive cable.
IR blaster cable with 1 IR blaster has Bang & Olufsen Part No. 6271234, marked with PUC A.
IR blaster cable with 2 IR blaster has Bang & Olufsen Part No. 6271204, marked with PUC A and PUC B for the two blasters respectively.
- Cut the cable in an appropriate length.
- Observe the text printed on the anode wire of the IR blaster cable.
- Observe the labelling of the cable (PUC A or PUC B) and arrange the two wires
according to the illustration in a new RJ45 plug.

Screen measurement 20
Screen measurement
The easiest way to do the screen measurement is by having the BeoSystem 4 within 1.8 m/6 ft distance from the BeoVision 12-65 if at all possible.
If this is not possible, see “Distance between BeoSystem 4 and BeoVision 12-65” below.
Screen measurement - introduction
The BeoSystem 4 requires some measurements to be made to match it to the BeoVision display it is connected to. These measurements consist of
two measurement sequences:
- MEASURE SCREEN: a measurement of the colour reproduction of the BeoVision display.
- MEASURE LIGHT SENSOR: a measurement of the ambient light sensor of the BeoVision display.
Prerequisite
The measurement involves the use of a reference measurement device, taken into use during installation by the installer. The reference
measurement device is part of the Calibration kit BeoSystem 4; Bang & Olufsen Part No. 3376493.
If the screen measurement is not made, the following text will be shown each time the television is switched On:
SCREEN NOT MEASURED
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR INSTALLER
Distance between BeoSystem 4 and BeoVision 12-65
Due to the length of the cable of the measurement device the distance between the BeoVision 12-65 and the BeoSystem 4 must be no more than
1.8 m/6 ft.
If the distance is longer, a USB extension cable must be used so that the measurement device can be connected to the USB socket of the
BeoSystem 4. When USB extension cables longer than 5 m/16 ft are needed, they must be USB Active Extension Cables.
Initiating the Screen Measurement
Automatically
- Insert the USB plug of the measurement device into the USB socket of the BeoSystem 4. The screen measurement function is then presented
automatically. The following text is shown as acknowledgement: MEASUREMENT DEVICE DETECTED, and one of the following two actions can
be chosen followed by pressing the Centre button:
- DO NOTHING: the system reverts to presenting the selected source.
- PERFORM MEASUREMENT: see Screen measurement page 21.
Via Customer Service Menu
In case the screen measurement menu does not show automatically or the measurement is to be initiated manually do the following to get to the
screen measurement menu. It is a prerequisite that the USB plug of the measurement device is inserted into the USB socket of the BeoSystem 4.
- On the remote control press MENU > SETUP and press the Red button and within 3 seconds press the Centre button.
- Select PICTURE ADJUSTMENT > SCREEN MEASUREMENT.
- Select SCREEN MEASUREMENT and press the Centre button.
