Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Avant, User Manual

14

If your BeoVision Avant is equipped

with a surround sound module, you

can extend your system into a fully

equipped Home Theatre system by

connecting four Bang & Olufsen 

loudspeakers and a BeoLab 2 

subwoofer*.

When you switch on one of your

sources in your BeoVision Avant, the

speakers which you may have in a

surround sound system can be cut in

or out, depending on what kind of

sound suits the source you are using.

BeoVision Avant may switch on a

speaker combination automatically.

This happens if a broadcasted 

programme or DVD disc contains

information about the number of

speakers to be switched on. You are

still free to choose the speaker setup

you prefer.

You can also adjust the picture 

dimensions to fill out the screen and

complete the Home Theatre 

experience.

*NOTE! Refer to pages 9-12 in the Reference

book for more information about how to 

connect loudspeakers to BeoVision Avant.
