Once you have assembled the speakers they


are ready for connection to the audio system
(or video system), and to the mains (see
assembly instructions on the enclosed
instruction sheet).

Placement
The BeoLab 8000 occupies very little space on
the floor. In fact, it can be placed wherever it
is most convenient for your room layout, and
for your preferred listening position.

The BeoLab 8000 is designed for use in dry


environments only!

The four rubber feet should be


mounted on the base

Connect the BeoLab 8000 and the audio


system (or video system) using the enclosed
8-pin Power Link cable. Plug one end into the
Power Link socket on the speaker, and the
other end into either of the two Power Link
sockets on the audio/video system.

Once you have connected the speakers, the


switch underneath the Power Link socket on
the BeoLab 8000 must be set to L or R: L for
the left-hand speaker, R for the right-hand
speaker.

Finally, connect the speakers to the mains


using the enclosed mains lead. To secure the
mains cord from being disconnected, we
advise you to tie the mains cord to the black
A
lid with the enclosed cable-tier (A).

The phono socket underneath the switch


must be used instead of the Power Link
socket if the BeoLab 8000 is to be connected
to a non-Bang & Olufsen product. In this case,
the switch must be set to LINE.

The rubber tube packed with the speaker is a


cable cover specially designed for the BeoLab
8000. Use the enclosed tool to “zip up” the
cable cover when you have placed both the
mains cord and the Power Link cable inside it.

You may connect more than one pair (as


many as ten pairs, in fact) of BeoLab 8000
speakers to your audio or video system.

The special adaptor, part no. 6270706, can be


used to connect additional pairs of BeoLab
8000 speakers to your Bang & Olufsen system.
The adaptor is available as an optional
accessory from your Bang & Olufsen dealer.

The moment you connect the speaker to the


mains, a tiny red light appears immediately
above the con, behind the cloth, indicating
the speaker is on stand-by.

When you switch on your Bang & Olufsen


system, the BeoLab 8000 speakers switch on
simultaneously.

The red stand-by light turns green, indicating


that the speaker is switched on.

When you switch off your system, or when


you mute the sound, the red light appears
immediately, indicating that the speakers are
switched off.

If the BeoLab 8000 speakers are connected to


a non-Bang & Olufsen system, via the phono
sockets, they switch on when they receive a
signal from the system. They switch off a few
minutes after the signal has disappeared.
