Using a BeoLink cable, connect the one multi-
pin plug to the socket marked MASTER LINK
on BeoVision 5, and the other multi-pin plug
to the socket marked MASTER LINK on the
audio system.
AV 2 Expander
The optional AV 2 Expander accessory enables
you to connect more than one piece of extra
equipment to the DECODER socket on
BeoVision 5. You can connect a decoder, a
DVD player, and other equipment to

Set-top box
Use the 21-pin AV cable to connect the set-top
box to your BeoVision 5. To enable remote
control of your set-top box with the Beo4
remote control, you must also connect a low-
power IR transmitter.

To connect an AV decoder (a baseband
decoder, e.g. Canal+, or a MAC decoder, etc.),
connect the cable from the aerial to the
BeoVision 5. Connect the AV decoder to the
21-pin socket marked DECODER on
BeoVision 5.
To connect an RF decoder, connect the
external aerial cable to the decoder input
socket and then forward the cable to the
BeoVision 5 aerial socket (marked VHF/UHF).
Connect the RF decoder to the 21-pin socket
marked DECODER on the BeoVision 5.
Video tape recorder
Use a 21-pin cable to connect a BeoCord
V 8000 video tape recorder to the V.TAPE

tape recorder. Forward the aerial cable to the
aerial socket on BeoVision 5.
DVD player
Use a 21-pin cable to connect a DVD player,
such as a Bang & Olufsen DVD 1, to
BeoVision 5. Connect one end to the socket
marked AV on your DVD player, and the other
to the socket marked AV on BeoVision 5.
Connect the socket marked DIGITAL OUTPUT
on DVD 1 to the INPUT 1 socket on
BeoVision 5. If the required cable is not

Olufsen retailer.

We recommend that you use the direct access
socket panel for equipment you connect on a
temporary basis, e.g. video games or
Camcorder. These sockets are placed on the
left side of BeoVision 5. The use of these
sockets is explained in the chapter
