Connect the plasma screen 

If longer cables are necessary, they are 
available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer. 

The two plugs at each end of the cable only 

match specific sockets, so it is not possible to 
connect the cables incorrectly if you follow 
the procedure described below:

–  Connect one 15-pin plug to the RGB socket on 

BeoSystem 2 and the 9-pin plug at the same 
end to the RS232 socket on BeoSystem 2. 

–  Connect the 15-pin plug at the opposite end to 

the PC IN socket on the screen, and the 9-pin 
plug at the same end to the SERIAL socket on 
the screen. 

–  Connect the IR receiver to the appropriate IR-IN 

socket on BeoSystem 2. 

–  Connect the two mains cords to the appropriate 

sockets on BeoSystem 2 and the screen, but do 
not connect them to the mains yet! 

Aerial and mains connection 

Make sure that BeoSystem 2 and the screen 
are placed properly before connecting the 
system. 

> Connect the screen to the mains. 
> Connect the aerial to the socket marked VHF/

UHF on BeoSystem 2. 

> Connect BeoSystem 2 to the mains. 

If you have not yet connected speakers, or you 
wish to connect any other equipment to 
BeoSystem 2, do not connect to the mains yet! 

When connections are complete…

Switch on the mains switch on the back of 

BeoSystem 2. The system is in standby mode and 
ready to be used. You can now begin tuning in 
channels, as explained in 

‘Tune in TV channels’

 on 

page 26 in the Guide. 

BeoVision 4 was designed to be left in standby 
mode when not in use. Therefore, to facilitate 
remote control operation, it is essential that you 
leave the mains switch on.

It is necessary to secure the mains cord in the 
cable bands, as shown in the diagram. Otherwise, 
the mains cord can be tugged free of the socket.
