							CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not remove
cover (or back).
No User-serviceable parts 
inside. Refer servicing to 
qualified service personnel.
WARNING:To prevent fire or electric
shock, do not expose this appliance
to rain or moisture.
This symbol indicates that a
dangerous voltage constitut-
ing a risk of electric shock is
present within this unit.
This symbol indicates that
there are important
operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature
accompanying this unit.
Caution
To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarised
plug, attached to this apparatus, with an extension
cord, receptacle, or other outlet, unless the blades
can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Complete all the connections in your setup before
connecting any appliance to the AC outlet. Note:
Your BeoVision 4 operates on a 120 volts, 60 Hz
(normal household current) and has a polarised
plug. Because one blade of the plug is wider than
the other, the plug fits in the wall outlet only one
way. Do not defeat the safety feature of this plug.
If you need an extension, use a polarised cord.
Note to Cable-TV installer
This reminder is provided to call your attention to
Article 820-22 of the National Electrical Code
(Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1)
which provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

							4Set up your BeoVision 4
We recommend that you follow the
procedure described below when
you set up BeoVision 4:
– Unpack BeoVision 4 and place it as
described and illustrated to the
right under Handling BeoVision 4;
– Consider the appropriate 
placement for BeoVision 4. Guide-
lines are included to the right
under Placing BeoVision 4 in your
home;
– Connect the cables as described in
Connect BeoVision 4 to 
BeoSystem 1. For information
about how to fasten and run the
cables on the rear of BeoVision 4,
refer to the opposite page.
For an overview of the close-up
operation and socket panels, refer to
pages 7–8.
Regardless of whether you place BeoVision 4 on
a table stand or in a wall bracket, make sure to
leave adequate space around the screen for
ventilation purposes, as described to the right.
Placing BeoVision 4 in your home
To be able to mount BeoVision 4 in a wall
bracket or on a table stand, refer to the
instructions enclosed with the bracket or
stand. Under all circumstances, make sure 
that BeoVision 4 can not be tipped over or
jostled loose from the selected bracket or
stand.
– Set up, place and connect BeoVision 4 in 
accordance with this Guide.
– BeoVision 4 is developed for indoor use in dry,
domestic environments only. It is designed for
use within a temperature range of 32–105º F
(0–40º C) and a relative humidity range of
20–80%.
Handling BeoVision 4
Due to the weight of BeoVision 4, any moving
or lifting of the screen should be done by two
persons.
When lifting BeoVision 4, grip the top and
bottom edges of the screen. 
Carry BeoVision 4 in such a way that the
screen is in an upright position at all times.
If you must put BeoVision 4 down at any time
prior to placing your screen, we recommend
that you rest it in an upright position on its
bottom edge on a stable, flat surface. Make
sure that at least one person steadies
BeoVision 4 while it rests in this fashion!
You may also place BeoVision 4 with the
screen side down on a stable, flat surface that
you have covered with cloth or other soft
material. To avoid exposing the screen itself to
pressure, rest BeoVision 4 only on surfaces
large enough to allow the weight of
BeoVision 4 to rest on the screen frame, as
opposed to the screen glass.

Running the cables
Secure the cables you have connected to
BeoVision 4 with the cable bands, as shown in
the diagram.
The supplied mains lead and plug are specially
designed for BeoVision 4. If you change the plug
or in any way damage the mains lead, it will affect
the picture adversely. – Do not place BeoVision 4 on sloped or
unstable surfaces, as the screen may tip
over or fall off, causing damage to the 
screen.
– Do not place BeoVision 4 close to strong
sources of heat, light or electromagnetic
fields. This may result in picture and sound
distortion.
–
Do not place any items on top of BeoVision 4.
– Do not place or use BeoVision 4 near water,
e.g. near a bathtub, sink, or swimming
pool.
– Do not cover the ventilation holes, e.g. by
placing BeoVision 4 on a rug. This may
cause the screen to overheat. Please note
that the top ventilation holes emit heated
air while BeoVision 4 is in use!
– When mounting BeoVision 4 in a wall 
bracket, leave a space of at least four inches
(about 10 cm) at the top, bottom and sides.
– When mounting BeoVision 4 on a table
stand, leave a space of at least four inches
(about 10 cm) at the top, left and right,
two and a half inches (about 6 cm) at the
bottom, and three inches (about 7.5 cm) at
the rear.
– Unplug BeoVision 4 at the mains during
lightning storms or if the screen is not used
for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to BeoVision 4 due to lightning
and power-line surges.
– Disconnect all cables before moving
BeoVision 4.

Olufsen BeoSystem 1.
Please refer to the facing page for

panels on BeoVision 4.
Connect BeoVision 4 to BeoSystem 1
Connect cables and the IR receiver
Make sure that both BeoVision 4 and
BeoSystem 1 are placed properly before 
connecting the systems.
If longer cables are necessary, they are 
available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
The plugs at the ends of these cables are all 
different, so it is not possible to connect the
cables incorrectly if you follow the procedure
described below:
> Connect the appropriate plug end of the first
cable to the PROJ. OUT socket on BeoSystem 1,
and the plug group at the other end to the
COMPONENT/RGB-IN sockets on BeoVision 4.
The plugs at the screen end are colour-coded as
follows:
Red… connect to the Pr/Cr/R socket.
Blue… connect to the Pb/Cb/B socket.
Green… connect to the Y/G socket.
Black (or yellow)… connect to the VD socket.
Grey (or white)… connect to the HD socket.
> Connect one end of the second cable to the
DATA socket on BeoSystem 1, and the other
end to the SERIAL socket on BeoVision 4.
> Connect the IR receiver to BeoSystem 1 as 
described in the BeoSystem 1 Guide in the
chapter Connect the IR receiver.

							7The socket panel on the rear
The socket panel on the back of
BeoVision 4 contains connection
areas reserved for additional 
equipment.
However, we recommend that you
connect all extra equipment, such as
a DVD player or extra loudspeakers,
to your BeoSystem 1. This makes it
possible to operate all your 
equipment with the Beo4 remote
control.
If you wish to connect equipment to
BeoVision 4 and would like further
information about connection of
compatible equipment, please 
contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.L

Cleaning BeoVision 4
Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft
cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dirt
with a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in
a solution of water containing only a few
drops of mild detergent, such as washing-up
liquid.
About the screen…
Wipe the screen surface gently using only a 
cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. If the 
surface is particularly dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, lint-free cloth which has been dipped in pure
water. If necessary, a weaksolution of water and
neutral detergent can also be used. Wipe the 
surface once more with a dry cloth of the same
type until the surface is completely dry.
Guidelines for day-to-day use
Do not allow still pictures to be displayed on
the screen for an extended period of time, as
this can cause a permanent after-image to
remain on the screen. Examples of still 
pictures are logos, video games, computer
images and images displayed in 4:3 picture
format.
Do not leave BeoVision 4 in contact with 
articles containing rubber or PVC for long
periods of time.
Do not attempt to open BeoVision 4. Leave
such operations to qualified service personnel.
Normal maintenance, such as 
cleaning the BeoVision 4, is the
responsibility of the user. To achieve
the best results, follow the 
instructions on this page.
Please consult your Bang & Olufsen
retailer to determine 
recommendations for normal 
maintenance.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any
part of BeoVision 4!
