Bang & Olufsen BEOSOUND 5 User Manual

The display 

In Browser mode, you can look through the content on your music system without 
interrupting playback. You can add music to make your own play queues or 

‘plant a seed’ to auto-generate a MOTS play queue. 

In Player mode, you can see what is playing. Use the buttons to pause playback 
or step to the next/previous track or radio station, and turn the volume wheel to 
adjust volume. If no cover is available for the chosen music, a default cover is shown. 

You can also use a Bang & Olufsen remote control to perform these operations. 

The display has two different modes: Browser mode and Player mode. You can 

do different things when in Player and Browser mode. 

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dust off the music system.
