The Guide and the Reference Book 
This Guide contains information about the daily use of your Bang & Olufsen  product. The Reference book contains information about connecting and operating external equipment.
We expect your Bang & Olufsen retailer to deliver, install and set up your products.  However, the information required to install and set them up is included in the 
Reference book. This is useful if you move your products or expand your system at 
a later date. 
Index
The Reference book also contains an index which refers to this Guide and the  Reference book. It can help you find the specific subject you want to know more

See two sources at the same time 
Your Beo4 remote control gives you access to a dual-screen function for 
viewing two video sources at the  same time. For example, you can 
view video playback and a T V  programme at the same time, 
provided that the selected sources 
are available in your television. 
While watching a programme or  recording, you can divide the screen between the current programme or 
recording (picture A in the second 
illustration) and a new programme or  recording (picture B). You can also 
swap the two pictures at any time. 
Volume adjustment with Beo4 always  affects picture A, while other Beo4 operations, such as selecting 
channels, affect picture B. Choosing 
a new source cancels dual-screen 
viewing. 
To view a source registered in the CONNECTIONS  menu as V.AUX, such as a set-top box, press LIST 
repeatedly until P-V.AUX* is shown in the Beo4 display instead. 
You can view two HDMI sources at the same time,  but only if one of the sources is connected to 
either the HDMI A or HDMI B socket, and the 
other source is connected to either the HDMI C or 
HDMI D socket. For further information about the 
HDMI sockets, refer to the chapter ‘Connection  panels’ on page 20 in the Reference book.  While watching, for example, T V …

>  Press, for example, V MEM to select the source  to view on the right side of the screen (B). 
>  Press

picture. 
To leave the dual-screen function …  >  Press a source ,for example T V , to leave the 
function and return to normal viewing of the  chosen source. 
When the television is in dual mode the number 0  is used for changing the picture, therefore it cannot be used for, for example, selecting 
channels.

Surround sound and Home cinema 
You can extend your television into a surround sound system by adding Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers and up 
to two BeoLab 2 subwoofers. 
When you switch on one of the  sources, speakers in a surround 
sound system can be cut in or out,  depending on what kind of sound 
suits the source you are using. 
If you connect a projector, you can 
turn your television into a Home  cinema. When you switch to the 
Home cinema setup, the television 
switches the picture from its own 
screen to the projector screen and  activates the appropriate speakers. 
For further information about how to connect speakers to the television, 
refer to the chapter ‘Set up the 
television’ on page 16 in the  Reference book. 
You can select the speaker combination that  suits the source you are using, provided that 
the various speaker modes are available in 
your television. 
Press repeatedly to display 
SPEAKER on Beo4 
Press if you want to return to the chosen default sound setting, or … 
 … press the number of the  speaker combination you want. 
The selected speakers cut in  automatically 
Press to remove SPEAKER from 
the Beo4 display and to return to 
the source you were using  Speaker combinations 
SPEAKER 1 … Sound in the centre speaker only.

SPEAKER 4 … The front speakers, surround  speakers, and subwoofers are active.
