Set up your BeoLab 17 speakers wirelessly or
wired with cables hidden in the background.
Ensure that the speakers are positioned, set up
and connected in accordance with the
instructions in this guide and the guides
enclosed with any accessories. You may also
contact your retailer regarding installation.
Place your speakers according to your
1
preferences, however, note that the guide
enclosed, for example, with your stands or
brackets only describes one way of mounting
and you may have to adapt the mounting to your
setup.
Set up your audio/video product wirelessly
2
with a pair of BeoLab 17 speakers or make
a wireless surround sound system. See the guide
enclosed with your wireless transmitter, for
example BeoLab Transmitter 1, for information
about how to connect the wireless transmitter,
your audio/video product and your speakers.
Examples of connections. If you choose a
3
cabled setup, you can use Power Link,
Toslink
or line-in cables for connection between
TM
your speakers and your audio/video product. If
you use TosLink cables, you must make a daisy
chain setup as illustrated. This is also possible
with Power Link cables. Be aware that TosLink
cables should not be bent more than a radius of
30 mm, since this can cause disturbances in the
sound performance.
