Remove the cover in the
bottom plate of the BeoSound
9000 to gain access to the
following sockets:
• Two sockets for the aerial
connections (FM and AM).
• Two sockets for active loud-
speakers (PL, i.e. Power Link).
• One socket for auxiliary
equipment (AUX).
• One digital output from the
CD player (DIG. OUT).
• One socket for the BeoLink
connections (ML, i.e. Master
Link).
Furthermore, the socket com-
partment contains the socket
for the mains cord.
Aerial connections
In order to obtain optimal
reception of radio stations it is
essential to use the correct type
of aerial (FM and/or AM) or
cable net connection. Please let
your Bang & Olufsen dealer
advise you.
Connect your FM signal to the
socket marked FM and your AM
signal, if any, to the socket
marked AM.
When using indoor aerials
(either an FM dipole or AM
loop aerial), tune in to the
radio station you want and
then turn the aerial horizon-
tally until optimum signal is
received.
Loudspeakers
Connect your active Bang &
Olufsen loudspeakers to the
sockets marked PL.
You may choose to loop the
signals through from speaker to
speaker, as mentioned in the
User’s guide for your loud-
speakers, or you may connect
one speaker to each of the two
sockets. Remember to set the
L • R • LINE switch on your
active speakers to L and R
(left and right channel),
respectively.
Auxiliary equipment
Connect your auxiliary equip-
ment to the socket marked
AUX.
This socket enables you to
connect e.g. a tape recorder
or a record player (with built-
in preamplifier).
However, as this socket does
not carry Data Link signals, you
will not be able to operate the
connected equipment by
remote control. Just select
A.AUX (either directly on the
close-up operation panel or
with the Beo4 remote control)
and then operate the auxiliary
equipment close-up.
BeoLink connection
The BeoLink system enables you
to set up extra speaker systems
throughout your house, and
listen to the BeoSound 9000 in
any room you like.
Using a Master Link cable,
connect one end to the socket
on the BeoSound 9000 and the
other end to the corresponding
socket on the linked equip-
ment.
For safety reasons fasten the
mains lead as shown, before
running it out from the socket
compartment.
