Home Theatre 10 You can extend your system into a fully equipped Home Theatre by connecting six Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2 subwoofer*. 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. A speaker combination may be switched on automatically. This happens if a broadcasted programme contains information about the number of speakers to be switched on.
Make the picture fill out the screen BeoVision 4 always ensures you the best possible picture. It automatically adapts the picture so that it fills out as much of the screen as possible. However, you can still choose the format you prefer. When you select a format yourself, the automatic format selection is deactivated.
Teletext 12 If you select a channel and the broadcaster offers a teletext service, BeoVision 4 gives you access to teletext pages. To make your favourite teletext pages appear first when you bring up teletext, store them as memory pages. When you store the teletext subtitles page as memory page number four, you can activate subtitles for that particular channel automatically.
Day-to-day use of memory pages Activate subtitles from teletext You may wish to refer to your teletext memory pages quickly, for example, if you are leaving for work and wish to check traffic information on a teletext service. You can activate subtitles for a channel, if that channel offers teletext subtitles. The teletext subtitles page number can often be found in an index on teletext page 100. Press to switch on a TV channel which offers a teletext service TV Press to switch on teletext.
See two sources at the same time 14 The Picture-in-Picture function enables you to see two video sources on-screen simultaneously. While you are watching a programme or recording, you can prompt BeoVision 4 to insert a small picture on the screen showing the source and channel number of your choice. For example, you can view a TV and a set-top box programme or a videotape playback and a TV programme at the same time, provided that these sources are available.
Advanced operation Find out how to operate BeoVision 4 beyond daily use. This is also the chapter that informs you of how to operate a connected set-top box.
Advanced teletext functions 16 BeoVision 4 supports three extra teletext functions: text enlargement for easy reading, placement of a teletext page over a TV picture, and display of hidden text, such as the answer to a quiz or joke. BeoVision 4 can also notify you when a desired page has been found or updated. This is useful, for example, if you want to see the latest news headlines while watching TV.

Universal Beo4 operation Use the set-top box’s own menu Use a set-top box in a link room If you know which Beo4 button activates the function you want, you can bring up the function without activating the Set-top Box Controller menu first. Once you have activated your set-top box, you can operate the set-top box’s own menus, such as the Program Guide, via Beo4. When your set-top box is connected to the television in the main room, you can operate the set-top box from the link room television.
The pincode system 22 You choose whether or not to activate the pincode system. The pincode system is deactivated when you delete your pincode. The pincode system is intended to make normal use of BeoSystem 2 impossible for someone who does not know the pincode. When BeoSystem 2 has been disconnected from the mains for 15– 30 minutes, the pincode system goes into effect. When reconnected and switched on, BeoSystem 2 automatically switches itself off after four minutes.
Use your pincode Did you forget your pincode? If BeoSystem 2 has been disconnected from the mains for 15–30 minutes, BeoSystem 2 prompts you for the pincode when you switch it on. You may not be able to switch the system on immediately – wait approximately 30 seconds and try again. Contact a Bang & Olufsen retailer to receive a five-digit mastercode.

Therefore, as the sound system is distributed to you from the broadcaster, you can not preset a sound system in this menu.
Set the time and date BeoVision 4 has a built-in clock that displays the time on request. When you preset BeoVision 4 to switch itself on or off at a particular time, or when you preset a timed recording of a programme on a connected BeoCord V 8000 video tape recorder, the clock ensures that these features are switched on and off at the right times. The simplest way to set the clock is to synchronise it with a tuned TV channel’s teletext service via the Clock menu.
