Each time you press LIST on Beo4, a new "button" appears in the display which represents an extra function or source that you can operate via your Beo4... · Whenever a source is displayed on the Beo4 (TV, RADIO, CD, ...), you can call up extra "buttons" in the display to operate that particular source, e.g. STAND to turn the TV, FORMAT to change the size and shape of the picture on the screen, and so on. · You can also switch on extra products connected to your Bang & Olufsen audio or video system via the Beo4 display, e.g. VTAPE2 an extra video tape recorder. These extra "buttons" can be edited, though. You can add new "buttons" from the Beo4 setup list if necessary, rearrange the manner in which these chosen "buttons" appear on the Beo4 display or even remove them from the list of extra "buttons" that you access directly. For further information of how to edit the Beo4 list of extra "buttons", please refer to the chapter Customising your Beo4. The Beo4 display acts as a status display and tells you which source you are currently operating. But each time you press the LIST button, you will see a new "button" or cue in the Beo4 display. 9 When calling up extra "buttons"... You can either hold the LIST button down to make the "buttons" appear successively in the display; or press LIST repeatedly to step through them one by one. When you have found the "button" you want, you must either press the GO button to switch on (activate) the function, or start operating the function directly using the Beo4 buttons. When you have finished operating the extra function, then press EXIT or a source button e.g. TV to remove the "button" from the Beo4 display, and return to controlling the original source e.g. TV.

In most cases, the relevant extra Beo4 "buttons" shown in the display are already available, however, you can still customise your Beo4 to suit your specific demands or products. You can set the Beo4 up so that only the extra "buttons" that you feel are relevant are included. You may remove any "button" or add a "button" yourself, if necessary. You can also rearrange the order in which the extra "buttons" appear when you press LIST. To add, move or remove extra "buttons", you must access the Beo4 setup function, and find ADD? (for adding a "button"), MOVE? (for rearranging the order of "buttons"), or REMOVE? (for removing a "button"). YOUR BEO4 LIST The Beo4 setup function consists of a number of different functions. The first three "buttons" or functions refer to how you customise Beo4, adding, moving or removing individual extra "buttons" used in your daily operation. The remaining setup functions relate to the products your Beo4 operates*. *Please note...
