BeoVision 6
Guide

The User’s guides
This Guide contains all the information you need to know about your Bang &
Olufsen product.
We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your
product. However, the information required to install and set up the product is
included in the Guide and on the CD-rom. This might be useful if you move
your product or expand your system at a later date.
The Guide and the CD-rom both contain an index which can help you find the
specific subject you want to know more about.
The enclosed CD-rom contains a file in PDF-
format. To read this file, the Adobe Reader
program must be installed on your computer. If
you do not have the program, it can be installed
from the CD-rom. Then select the file with the
language you want, and the file opens.

The information on the CD-rom can also be
found on the Bang & Olufsen web-site;
www.bang-olufsen.com or via your retailer.
