BeoVision Avant – your own Home Theatre

Press just one button on the Beo4

remote control.

The BeoVision Avant video system

turns toward you. The curtains slide

open, revealing the picture on the

screen.

The built-in video tape recorder

currently playing your favourite film

is placed discreetly inside the chassis.

After all, it’s what’s on the tape that’s

interesting.

With BeoVision Avant, you have the

theatre experience without leaving

your living room, much less your

home. Add four Bang & Olufsen

BeoLab speakers and a BeoLab 2

subwoofer for genuine surround

sound.

*NOTE! Satellite channels are only available if

your BeoVision Avant is equipped with the

built-in Satellite receiver module.

We recommend that you follow the

procedure described below when

you set up your BeoVision Avant:

– Unpack the BeoVision Avant and

place it as described and

illustrated to the right under

Handling your BeoVision Avant;

– Consider the appropriate

surroundings for your Avant.

Guidelines are included to the

right under Placing your BeoVision

Avant in your home;

– Mount the base plate as

described;

– Connect the cables, additional

equipment, and speakers as

described on the pages 9–15. For

information of how to fasten and

run the cables on the rear of

BeoVision Avant, refer to the

opposite page.

For an overview of the display,

close-up operation and socket

panels, refer to the opposite page

and pages 54–58. The connection

panels on the rear of BeoVision

Avant are described on the opposite

page.

Handling your BeoVision Avant

Due to the weight of the BeoVision Avant,

any moving/lifting of the system should

always be done by two persons.

The BeoVision Avant has three sets of recesses

for lifting the system. The illustrations show

the placement of each recess (A, B and C).

Do not attempt to lift the BeoVision Avant holding

on to any other parts of the cabinet or rear panel!

Placing your BeoVision Avant in

your home

– Avoid placing your BeoVision Avant in direct

sunlight or direct artificial light (e.g. a spotlight),

as this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote

control receiver.

– Make sure that the BeoVision Avant is set up,

placed and connected in accordance with this

guide.

– The BeoVision Avant is developed for indoor

use in dry, domestic environments only, and for

use within a temperature range of 10–40º C

(50–105º F).

– Do not place any items on top of the BeoVision

Avant.

– Do not attempt to open the BeoVision Avant.

Leave such operations to qualified service

personnel.

– The motorised stand will turn the BeoVision

Avant to a preset position when you switch it

on. Therefore, when placing BeoVision Avant in

your home, leave enough space around the TV

to allow it to turn freely.

If the BeoVision Avant (or your videotapes) have

been exposed to low temperatures, condensation

may occur inside the video tape recorder when the

BeoVision Avant is placed in a warm room. In

order to avoid damage to the video tape recorder

or to the tapes, we recommend that you allow

them to acclimatise to normal room temperature

before loading.

The range of movement for the BeoVision Avant

is 70 degrees, or 35 degrees to each side. The

television can also be turned by hand.

Mounting the base plate

When you have placed the BeoVision Avant,

you must fasten the base plate cover:

> The cover has been furnished with strips of

double-coated tape. Before you fasten the cover

permanently, try putting it into place first

without removing the tape backing.

> Lift off the cover again, remove the tape

backing, and fasten the cover to the base plate.

Running the cables

To allow for the movement when the

BeoVision Avant turns, it is essential that the

cables are run and fastened as depicted:

> Turn the BeoVision Avant all the way to the left.

> Run the cables from the AV panel (and the

speakers panel) behind the bracket (A) and in a

loop to the bracket (B).

> Fasten all cables neatly to the bracket (B) – using

two cable tiers.

> Run the cable bundle in a broad loop to the small

bracket protruding from the base plate, and

fasten the cables neatly to it – using two cable

tiers (C).

> Tug the loop of cables neatly into the space

provided.

Mains lead

The supplied mains lead and plug are specially

designed for the TV. If you change the plug or in

any way damage the mains lead, it will affect the

TV picture adversely!

*NOTE! These sockets are only available if your

BeoVision Avant is equipped with the built-in

surround sound module.

The cables should be handled with care. When

running any cable, avoid bending it sharply or

twisting it. Avoid subjecting the cables to

pressure or impact.

When you set BeoVision Avant up on its own,

simply connect the aerial and connect the

system to the mains.

If you wish to connect any other equipment,

please refer to the Connections chapters on

pages 9–15 and Register extra equipment on

page 20.

>> Setting up your BeoVision Avant – Connections

Aerial connection

Using an aerial cable, connect your external

aerial (or a cable TV network) to the socket

marked VHF/UHF on the BeoVision Avant rear

socket panel.

Mains connection

Using the mains cord supplied, connect one

end to the socket marked ~ on the rear of the

BeoVision Avant, then plug the other end into

a wall socket.

Your BeoVision Avant was designed to be left

in stand-by mode when not in use. Therefore,

to facilitate remote control operation, etc., it

is essential that you leave the mains switch

on, once you have turned it on.

However, if you are going to connect speakers, an

audio system or any other equipment to BeoVision

Avant, do not switch on at the mains yet!

When connections are complete…

After you connect and fasten the cables as

explained on page 7, you can connect Avant to

the mains. Switch on the mains switch on the

front of BeoVision Avant. A tiny, red light appears

in the display panel. The system is in stand-by

mode and ready to be used. If your Avant is set up

on its own, you can now start to use it as

explained on page 6 in the Guide.

Placing loudspeakers

It is important that you find out where you

will place your loudspeakers before you start

connecting the speakers. Once they are

connected, you can make the presets

necessary to give you the ultimate sound

experience.

The three diagrams to the right indicate

examples of BeoVision Avant and loudspeakers

placed in various types and sizes of rooms.

The following guidelines apply for all speaker

setups:

– The best placement for the rear speakers is on

either side behind your favourite listening

position.

– The front and rear sets of speakers do not

necessarily have to be placed in the corners of

the room.

– We recommend that you use your most

powerful speakers as your front speakers.

– If you connect a BeoLab 2 subwoofer, refer to

the subwoofer’s own Guide for information

about placement possibilities.

A surround sound setup with the

BeoVision Avant is easy to fit into

your living room. Determine your

ideal listening and viewing position

by the picture rather than by the

sound. The performance of your

speakers is unaltered.

Preset the distances to each speaker

from your favourite listening and

viewing position, that is, measure the

distance to each speaker. The

surround sound experience will be

noticeable as long as you stay within

the area created by the speakers.

In a surround sound* setup, you will

have to preset the sound balance

between the speakers in your

particular setup, that is, perform a

speaker balance calibration. Refer to

the following pages for further

instruction.

*NOTE! This function is only available if your

BeoVision Avant is equipped with the surround

sound module.

Connect external speakers

You can connect Bang & Olufsen speakers and

a BeoLab 2 subwoofer to BeoVision Avant via

the socket panel on the rear of the television.

The speakers must be from the range of Bang

& Olufsen speakers.

Using the cables enclosed with the speakers,

make the following connections:

> Connect the two external front speakers to the

sockets marked FRONT.

> Connect the two rear speakers to the sockets

marked REAR.

> Connect the subwoofer to the socket marked

SUBWOOFER.

You may choose to loop the signals through from

speaker to speaker (as described in the guide

enclosed with your speakers), or you may connect

one speaker to each of the sockets. If necessary,

longer cables and adaptors are available from your

Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Regardless of what you choose, remember to set

the L • R • LINE switch on both the front and rear

set of speakers to L or R(left and right channel) to

indicate their relative position in each set. Set the

left front speaker to L, the right rear speaker to R,

and so on.
