Set up your BeoLab 17 speakers wirelessly or
wired with cables hidden in the background.
Ensure that the speakers are positioned, set up

instructions in this guide and the guides
enclosed with any accessories. You may also
contact your retailer regarding installation.

Place your speakers according to your
preferences, however, note that the guide
enclosed, for example, with your stands or
brackets only describes one way of mounting
and you may have to adapt the mounting to your
setup.
2
Set up your audio/video product wirelessly
with a pair of BeoLab 17 speakers or make
a wireless surround sound system. See the guide
enclosed with your transmitter device, for
example BeoLab Transmitter 1, for information
about how to connect the transmitter device,
your audio/video product and your speakers.

If you choose a cabled setup, you can use
Power Link, Toslink
TM
or line-in cables for
connection between your speakers and your
audio/video product. If you use TosLink cables,
you must make a daisy chain setup as illustrated.
This is also possible with Power Link cables. Be
aware that TosLink cables should not be bent
more than a radius of 30 mm, since this can
cause disturbances in the sound performance.

When handling your speaker make sure to
place it on a soft cloth or the like to avoid
making marks on the speaker.
