Where to put the Beomaster

The Beomaster 4500 must be placed so
that ventilation is not impeded. Avoid
placing it in direct sunlight, near
radiators or other sources of heat

The plastic feet supplied with the
Beomaster 4500 (and also with the
Beogram CD 4500 and the Beocord
4500) enable you to place the products
in a slightly tilted position on a stable
surface. Insert the feet in the holes
provided on the base.

Alternatively, the Beomaster 4500 (and also the
Beogram CD 4500 and the Beocord 4500) can be
hung on a wall, The WB 4500 wall bracket, type
no. 2030, is specially designed for this purpose.
One wall bracket is required for each of these
products.

Note: A special shelf, type no. 2012, is required for
the Beogram 4500.

Connection options

The sockets PH/TPZ and AUX/TV can
be programmed to accommodate
different types of equipment If for
example you want to connect a second
tape recorder to the AUX/TV socket,
you simply change the option of the
Beomaster.

When the Beomaster 4500 leaves the
factory, it is set to the PHONO option.
The connections shown on the previous
page apply to this option.

If the Beomaster is set to the CD option,
a second Bang & Olufsen tape recorder
can be connected to the AUX/TV

socket, instead of a Bang & Olufsen TV.

If the Beomaster is set to the TAPE 2
option, a second Bang & Olufsen tape
recorder can be connected to the PH/
T P2 socket, instead of the Beogram
4500.

To set the Beomaster to the option of your
choice, you must first switch it to the stand-by
mode.

Then press PROGRAMMING and 7 simultaneously.
The current option is now displayed: PHONO OP,
CD OP, or TAPE 2 OP.

While the option is displayed, press PHONO, CD, or
TAPE 2 as appropriate to select your option.

Headphones

The tiny socket on the front of the
Beomaster is for headphones, e.g. the
Bang & Olufsen Form 1 or Form 2
headphones.

Note: If you plug in headphones, the loudspeakers
are cut out (except any loudspeakers connected
to the sockets marked R/L 2).
