Hi.  I would appreciate it if you guys could help here.  I bought my 1st B&O last year.  Since then I have decided to set up a home cinema.

I have a Panasonic plasma(non HD),Toshiba DVD player, Beosystem 2 processor, Beolab 8000 front speakers, Beolab 4000 centre speakers, Beolab 3 rear surround speakers, and 2 Beolab 2 subwoofers.  I also have the Beosound 9000 which I understand I now have connect through Masterlink(not so sure how that works!)

Please offer step by step advice as to how I should connect each and every appliance and how to operate it as I'm new to this... 

...and yes, I want all this equipment in the same room.

Best regards

Olisa 

 

 

The user and reference manuals for the Beosystem 2 are on site for silver and gold members.

In essence, connect all the speakers to the Beosystem 2 . The sockets at the back are marked .  The DVD player will connect to the AV socket and set it as Video Aux. The Beosystem 2 will need the IR eye attaching and the BS9000 will attach using an ML lead. You will need to option set the BS2 to option 2 and the BS9000 to option 0. You do this with the beo4 - List and Standby at the same time and then scroll till you reach Option? Choose A.Opt? press 0 and Go. Then V.Opt  and 2 and Go. The equipment should be in stand by when you do this.

You need the manuals!! You might be able to download them free from the official B&O site.

Welcome to Beoworld. 

Thanks Peter.  I will have to look into upgrading my membership.

One important question; do I connect the TV to BS2(scart perhaps)? And what about the cable box(decoder/set top box)? Where does it go?

The BS2 actually came with some literature but it seems tailored strictly for the Beovision 4. 

 

The normal connection is via the RGB and RS232 sockets on the BS2. The set top box connects via Scart and digital in if it has one.
