Set up your BeoLab 18 speakers wirelessly or

positioned, set up and connected in accordance
with the instructions in this guide and the guides
enclosed with any accessories. You may also
contact your retailer regarding installation. Bases
and brackets are available as optional
accessories.

Set up your audio/video product wirelessly
with a pair of BeoLab 18 speakers or make
a wireless surround sound system. See the guide

example BeoLab Transmitter 1, for information
about how to connect the wireless transmitter,
your audio/video product and your speakers.

speaker. The status indicator is solid red for 10
seconds, then it flashes green quickly. The
speaker is now in associate mode and ready to
be connected to the wireless transmitter. If you
press and hold the button for 10 seconds the
speaker is reset to factory settings.

If you choose a cabled setup, you can use
Power Link, Toslink
TM
or line 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.

Examples of connections. Run cables
according to the instructions enclosed with
your bases or brackets. Note that all inputs must
be volume regulated.
The socket marked SERVICE is for service use
only.

Set the position switch (POS.) according to
whether your speaker is placed close to a
wall, a corner or in a free standing position. The
wall position is measured 15 cm from the closest
edge of the speaker to the wall.

If you have a wired setup, set the role
switch (ROLE) according to whether your
speaker is placed to the left (L) or the right (R) of
your audio/video product. If you have a wireless
setup always set the role switch to wireless (WL).
