Adjust sound and picture format 8 Several sound adjustment possibilities are available in your television. You can adjust the volume or mute the sound completely at any time. If programs are broadcasted with different sound types or languages, you can choose between the sound types or languages. If speakers are connected to your television, you can adjust the speaker balance and select a speaker combination.
Speaker balance or combination Picture format If you connect loudspeakers to your television, you can adjust speaker balance and change the speaker combination at any time. When you select a format yourself, the automatic format selection is deactivated, until you switch to a different channel or change source.
Teletext 10 If you select a program and the broadcaster offers a teletext service, the television gives you access to teletext pages and any subpages linked to the pages. The arrow buttons on Beo4 and the menu bar at the top of the screen, help you move to the page you want. When you get there, you can pause the turning of subpages to read them at your own pace. The television can remember your favourite pages, reveal hidden messages or help you switch to another program’s teletext service.
Store favourite teletext pages Day-to-day use of MEMO pages Nine MEMO pages are available for each television program’s teletext service. You may wish to refer to your teletext MEMO pages quickly, for example, if you are leaving for work and wish to check traffic information on a teletext service.

The pincode system 16 The pincode system is intended to make normal use of your television impossible for someone who does not know the pincode. You choose whether or not to activate the pincode system. When the pincode system is activated and the television has been disconnected from the mains for 15–30 minutes, the pincode system goes into effect. When reconnected and switched on, the television automatically switches itself off after four minutes. Entering the pincode returns the television to normal.
Use your pincode If your television has been disconnected from the mains for 15–30 minutes, the television prompts you for the pincode when you switch it on. You may not be able to switch the television on immediately – wait approximately 30 seconds and try again. IMPORTANT! If you are prompted for a pincode the first time you switch on your television, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer. When your television is switched on … > Enter the code digits using the number buttons .
Maintenance 18 Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the television, is the responsibility of the user. To achieve the best result, follow the instructions to the right. Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer to determine recommendations for regular maintenance. Cleaning Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the television, stand or wall bracket! Cabinet surfaces Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth.
