Bang & Olufsen 1 User Manual

Before you start…

Allow enough space above the BeoSound 1 to 
enable the built-in aerial to extend and the CD 
compartment to raise.

Make sure that the BeoSound 1 is always 
placed on a firm, stable surface. 
The BeoSound 1 is designed for indoor use 
in dry, domestic environments only, and for 
use within a temperature range of 10–40°C 
(50–105°F).

If you connect external sources to the 
BeoSound 1, do not switch on the mains until 
you have made all connections.

The socket panel is located underneath the 
BeoSound 1. The socket panel contains mains, 
aerial and AUX sockets.

Auxiliary equipment…
Use the AUX socket to connect auxiliary 
equipment, e.g. an audio tape recorder or 
a mini disc player. Please consult a Bang & 
Olufsen retailer for details.
If a recorder is connected to your BeoSound 1, 
you can make recordings from the radio and 
CD player. Please refer to the user’s guide 
supplied with the recorder.
However, if you operate the BeoSound 1 while 
such a recording is in progress, the recording 
will be disrupted.

The AUX socket is activated by pressing both   
CD   simultaneously.

External aerial…
If you wish to connect an external aerial to 
BeoSound 1, move the built-in aerial plug 
to the position marked 

(A)

, and connect the 

external one to the socket instead.

Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean any 
part of the BeoSound 1. We do not recommend 
using special cleaning CDs in the BeoSound 1.

Before you clean the BeoSound 1, we 
recommend that you disconnect it from the 
mains to prevent inadvertent operation. 

Clean dusty surfaces using a dry, soft cloth.  
If necessary remove grease stains or persistent 
dirt with a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, 
dipped in a solution of water containing 
only a few drops of mild detergent, such as 
washing–up liquid. 

The front may also be cleaned with a soft 
brush mounted on a vacuum cleaner set to the 
lowest level.
