Setting up BeoLab 5

We recommend that you follow this

procedure:

– Disconnect your audio or video system from

the mains; 

– Make all the connections as described in

Cable connections

(pp. 8–10); 

– Connect the loudspeakers to the mains; 

– If necessary, program the loudspeakers to

your audio or video system, as described in

Adapt BeoLab 5 to your system

(p. 11); 

– Let the loudspeakers perform the 

Adaptive

Bass Control

calibration, as described in

Adapt BeoLab 5 to your room

(pp. 12–13); 

– If you wish to activate the PIN code system,

you may now do so. This is explained in 

Use the PIN code system

(pp. 14–16);

– Connect your audio or video system to the

mains again.

Cautions

– Do not attempt to open the loudspeaker. Leave

such operations to qualified service personnel!

– Make sure that the loudspeaker is placed and

connected in accordance with the instructions

in this Guide.

– Place the loudspeaker on the floor.

– Do not place any items on top of the

loudspeaker.

– Do not touch the two speaker domes! Use the

enclosed brush only when cleaning – please

refer to 

Cleaning BeoLab 5

(p. 4) for further

information.

– The loudspeaker is designed for indoor use in

dry, domestic environments only, and for use

within a temperature range of 10–40º C

(50–105º F).

Before you start…

– If you connect the loudspeaker to a non-Bang &

Olufsen system, you will need a Beo4 remote

control (optional accessory), in order to be able

to operate the loudspeaker, e.g. switching on

and off, turning the volume level up or down,

etc. 

– Volume levels are adjusted in the built-in

loudspeaker amplifiers, not in your audio or

video system, and we recommend that you keep

any tone control settings neutral. 

– Remember that all loudspeakers in a setup must

be connected to the mains.

Warning

– Prolonged listening at a high volume level may

cause hearing damages!

Handling BeoLab 5:

Due to its heavy weight, any

moving or lifting should always be done by two

persons. ‘Safe areas’ to hold when moving/lifting

the loudspeaker are indicated in the illustration.

Do not move the loudspeaker without lifting it

clear of the floor, as damage to the floor may

result!
