can also create speaker groups to customise the speaker setup for listening positions other than the one in
front of the Beovision Harmony, for example, at the dining table or in an armchair.
Sound settings are preset from the factory to neutral values which suit most types of programmes. However,
if you wish, you can adjust these settings to your liking. Adjust sound settings such as volume, bass and
treble and, for wired speakers, enable eco mode. You can also look up information about the chosen sound
settings and reset the sound settings to default values. In the Sound menu you can also find the Speaker
connections menu, where you can set up both wired and wireless speakers.
For more about daily use of speaker groups, see the chapter 'USE SPEAKER GROUPS AND SOUND MODES'.
Your content provider may have prohibited distribution of digital wireless sound to your speakers. You must
then use wired Power Link connected speakers instead.
For advanced information about sound settings, see the Technical Sound Guide on the Bang & Olufsen
website www.bang-olufsen.com/guides
Sound modes
The Beovision Harmony has several sound modes optimised for different types of programmes and sources.
The sound modes are designed by sound engineers to suit all situations. However, if you wish, you can adjust
the values in the sound modes to your liking in the Sound modes menu. The sound modes have predefined
names. For example, use Movie when watching from a Blu-ray player or use Game to enhance the sound
when using a game console. The Custom sound mode can be set up if you wish to define a new type of use
and settings.
If you wish to reset a sound mode to default values, you must select RESET in the specific sound mode’s
setup menu and confirm that you wish to reset the values.
You can bring up a list of sound modes on the Beoremote One display by finding Sound in the BeoRemote

For information about selecting a specific sound mode for a source, see the chapter 'SET UP CONNECTED
PRODUCTS'.
Speaker groups
In the Speaker Groups menu, you can make different speaker groups for different listening positions or
loudspeaker combinations. This means that you can use your speakers differently in different scenarios.
In scenario 1 in the illustration, the right speaker in the top may be set up as a right front speaker when you
watch television from the couch, whereas in scenario 2, the same speaker may function as a right surround
speaker when you sit in the armchair listening to music. The same speaker has different roles in the different
speaker groups, and in some speaker groups, the speaker may not be included.
For each group, you must assign roles to the speakers, set the distance between the speakers and your
listening position and calibrate the speaker level. It is possible to set distances and speaker levels for each
speaker group manually via the Speaker Groups menu.
You access a Speaker Group Configuration menu from the Home menu if you press and select the Bang &
Olufsen TV App, then Speaker Group Configuration . Follow on-screen instructions to create or edit a speaker

connected speakers and to highlight a speaker role, then press the centre button. As you move from speaker
to speaker, a sound is produced to indicate the speaker to be set up.
Speaker B Subwoofer
Volume
Adjust the volume level of the Beovision Harmony.
The volume level you set here is the volume level the Beovision Harmony will start at each time you switch it
on, no matter which volume level it was at when you switched it off.
Here you also set the highest volume level allowed in normal usage. This can be used to limit the maximum
output of the Beovision Harmony.
Activate loudness
The human ear is less sensitive to low frequencies when they are played at low volume levels. In other
words, when you lower the volume, the less bass you can hear. The Loudness function counteracts this
effect.
As you reduce the volume, the bass and treble levels are automatically increased to compensate for your
reduced perception in the outer frequency bands.
Eco mode
Make power saving settings for sound in the Eco Mode menu.
If you enable eco mode, the speakers that do not receive a signal when the Beovision Harmony is on
automatically switch off. Wireless speakers are not switched off when they do not receive signals from the
Beovision Harmony.
Speaker connections
Set up speakers wired or wirelessly.

select SHOW ALL and press the centre button to show all Power Link sockets.
Important! If you select Line as speaker type in the Speaker Connections list, the volume will be very loud
and you cannot adjust volume with your BeoRemote One. You must use the product’s own remote control.
'Line' is used for, for example, non-Bang & Olufsen amplifiers.
Wireless speakers
If you have wireless speakers in your setup, the Beovision Harmony automatically scans for wireless speakers
and associate the detected speakers with wireless Power Link channels during first-time setup. However,
you can also scan for wireless speakers and associate the detected speakers with the Soundcentre’s wireless
Power Link channels manually if you press , select Settings, then Scan for wireless speakers and follow on-
screen instructions.
You can also access the function if you press , select the Bang & Olufsen TV App, then Sound & BeoLink...,
Sound and Speaker Connections.
If the state of a speaker is missing in the Speaker Connections menu, the speaker has been associated with a
wireless channel, and will automatically be detected again when possible.
Always open...
If you prefer for the position of the speakers to be static at all times, always open will keep the speakers in
an open position.
NETWORK SETTINGS
You can set up your Beovision Harmony to a network either with a wired or wireless connection. For the
most reliable network connection, Bang & Olufsen recommends making a wired connection. Bang & Olufsen
also recommends that you use a separate router and access point – a Network Link router – to ensure the
most reliable playback of digital files.
In some countries, it is not possible to set up a wireless connection, and you must use a wired connection.
WIRED CONNECTION
1. Connect a LAN cable to the Soundcenter. Your Beovision Harmony is now connected to the network.
When you have a wired connection the Wireless Network Setup menu is unavailable.
WIRELESS CONNECTION
In the Service menu, you can update software, connect to a wireless network and pair another remote
control. It is also possible to make more advanced service settings, ie. reset your Soundcenter to default
factory settings, however, note that the Advanced menu is primarily intended for the installer and for
service use.
If your Beovision Harmony is set up in a system, it is essential that you enable the Automatic System Update
to ensure that all products in your system are kept up to date and are able to communicate.
You can always look up software information and update the TV software manually.
Update software
To download available software updates in the Software Update menu, your Beovision Harmony must be
connected to the Internet. It is recommended that you set the Beovision Harmony to update software
automatically.
Contact your retailer for more information about software updates.
Unpair a remote...
1. In the Remote Control Pairing menu, highlight the device you wish to unpair and press the centre
button.
2. Highlight DELETE and press the centre button.
STAND SETTINGS
If your television is equipped with the optional motorised floor stand you can turn it using the remote
control.
Furthermore, you can set the television to turn automatically to face your favourite viewing position when
you switch it on. It can turn to a different position when you listen to, for example, a connected radio, and
turn away to a standby position when you switch it off. You can also set up other stand positions for other
listening or viewing positions.
If your television has just been moved, you will also be asked to set up new stand positions.
Transport of a stand
Moving of your television and floor stand to a different location must be done by qualified personnel. You
must activate the transport mode. This ensures that the calibration menu is shown when you switch on the
television again. All the saved stand positions are deleted when you activate transport mode.
WARNING! Do not lift or otherwise move your television physically when it is mounted on the floor stand. It
could cause the TV screen to break. Contact your retailer.
1. When Stand Transport is highlighted, press the centre button to activate transport mode. Highlight OK
and press the centre button to confirm. If you do not wish to activate transport mode, select Cancel
instead.
When the stand has been moved, you must calibrate the stand and set up stand positions again.
