Frequently Asked Questions - BeoLab 6002 BANG & OLUFSEN

How do I switch the BeoLab 6002 on and off?

The speakers switch on/off automatically with your Bang & Olufsen system. When connected to a non-B&O system, they switch on upon receiving a signal and switch off a few minutes after the signal stops. The indicator shows red (standby), green (on), or orange (error).

What does the orange indicator mean?

The orange indicator signals that the thermal protection has activated due to overheating. To reset, disconnect the speaker from mains for 3–5 minutes, then reconnect. If the problem persists, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

How should I clean the BeoLab 6002?

Wipe dust with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft damp cloth with a solution of water and mild detergent like washing-up liquid. Never use alcohol or solvents.

Can I use the BeoLab 6002 with a non-Bang & Olufsen system?

Yes. Use a special adaptor with phono/RCA plug on one end and DIN plug on the other. Set the SETUP switch to LINE. An optional adaptor with phono/RCA and mini jack is also available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

How do I adjust the bass for my room?

Use the POSITION switch on each speaker. Choose CORNER if placed in a corner, WALL if less than 15 cm from a wall (or wall-mounted), and FREE if more than 15 cm from walls and corners. This compensates for bass boost.

What is the best placement for the BeoLab 6002?

For natural sound, follow the position zones in the manual. The speaker should be placed away from corners and walls for neutral bass, unless you use the POSITION switch to adjust.

How do I connect the BeoLab 6002 to a Bang & Olufsen system?

Use the enclosed Power Link cables. Connect from your system directly to each speaker, or daisy-chain from one speaker to the next. Set the SETUP switch to LEFT or RIGHT for the corresponding channel.

What should I do if the speaker does not turn on?

Check that the mains cord is securely connected and the system is on. If the indicator is orange, the thermal protection is active; reset by disconnecting for 3–5 minutes. If still off, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Can I mount the BeoLab 6002 on a wall?

Yes, using Bang & Olufsen approved wall brackets. When wall-mounted, do not assemble the base, and set the POSITION switch to WALL.

How do I dispose of the BeoLab 6002?

Do not dispose with household waste. Follow the WEEE directive for electrical and electronic equipment. Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer for proper disposal instructions in your country.

To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC Mains, disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un insulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and main tenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

When you have nished setting up the loudspeakers as described on the following pages, connect the entire system to the mains supply. The indicator lights up in red, indicating that the loudspeakers are in standby, ready to be used. The loudspeakers are designed to be left in this standby mode when not in use.

Switching on and off – indicator

When you switch on your Bang & Olufsen system, the loudspeakers switch on simultaneously. The red standby indicator light turns green, indicating that the loudspeakers are switched on.

When you switch off your system, or mute the sound, the red indicator light appears immediately, indicating that the loudspeakers are not in use.

If the loudspeakers are connected to a non-Bang & Olufsen system, they switch on when they receive a signal from the system (refer to p. 6). They switch off a few minutes after the signal has disappeared.

Loudspeaker protection

The loudspeakers are equipped with a thermal protection system which prevents overheating. If an error occurs – or the speaker units become overheated – the system automatically switches the loudspeakers to standby, and the indicator light turns orange.

To restore the situation:

Disconnect the loudspeakers from the mains.
Allow the system time to reset (approximately 3–5 minutes).
Reconnect the loudspeakers to the mains.

Should the problem persist, contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Cleaning the loudspeaker

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, remove stains or dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent such as washing-up liquid.

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the loud-speakers!

NOTE! Prolonged listening at high volume levels may cause hearing damages.

We recommend that you follow this procedure:

• Disconnect your system from the mains supply.
• Place the loudspeakers in your setup.
• Set the switches to the correct setting. This is explained in 'Adapt the loudspeakers to your setup' (pages 6–7).
• Connect your speaker system.
• Connect the entire system to the mains again.

If you mount the loudspeaker on a wall bracket, you cannot assemble the base to the loudspeaker.

Cautions

• Make sure that the loud speakers are placed and connected in accordance with the instructions in this Guide. To prevent injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved stands and wall brackets only!
• The loud speakers can only be switched off completely by disconnecting them from the wall socket.
• The loudspeakers are designed for indoor use in dry, domestic environments only, and for use within a temperature range of 10–40°C (50–105°F).
  – Remember that all speakers in a setup must be connected to a mains outlet, and that they are designed to be connected to the mains at all times, as this allows them to switch on automatically.
• Do not attempt to open the loudspeaker. Leave such operations to qualified service personnel!

Column and base

It is easiest to assemble the base and the speaker column if the loud-speaker is lying on a table.

In order to protect the table and the column from being scratched, we recommend that you place the wrapping foam on the table rst.

Hook the base plate onto the two guiding pins at the bottom of the speaker column (be care ful not to drop the base plate!). Insert the three screws and tighten them securely.

The loudspeakers can be used with Bang & Olufsen audio, video and link systems. They may also be used with non-Bang & Olufsen systems. For specific information about the sockets on your system, refer to the Guide enclosed with the system.

The socket panel is located at the bottom of the loud speakers.

Power Link connections: These connections carry both the right and left sound signals. Therefore, you can:

1 run a Power Link cable from your Bang & Olufsen system directly to each loud speaker, or...
2 run a Power Link cable from your Bang & Olufsen system to the rst loud speaker, and then run another Power Link cable to the next loud speaker. This will often help to minimise cable clutter.

For safety reasons you must run the cables to and from the loud-speaker through the cable guides.

Mains cord: The supplied mains cord and plug are specially designed for the product. If you change the plug or damage the mains cord, you must buy another from your Bang & Olufsen retailer!

The loudspeakers may be placed almost anywhere in your room. However, the most natural sound is obtained if they are set up as explained on these pages.

SETUP switch

This switch has three settings: LEFT, RIGHT and LINE.

Set the switch to LEFT or RIGHT when connecting the loud speakers in a Bang & Olufsen system. Set the switch to LINE when connecting the loud speakers in a non-Bang & Olufsen system.

...To a Bang & Olufsen system: Use the enclosed Power Link cables to connect the loud speakers to your system. Set the SETUP switch to LEFT and RIGHT (the left and right sound channel) respectively.

...To a non-Bang & Olufsen system:

Use a special adaptor with an ordinary phono/RCA plug in one end, and a DIN-plug in the other. Depending on your setup, you may also need to connect an adaptor with phono/RCA and mini jack plugs (optional accessories, available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer). Set the SETUP switch to LINE.

The POSITION switch

When a loud speaker is placed in a corner or close to a wall, the bass level is boosted compared to the bass level from a loud speaker placed in a more free-standing position.

To remove this excessive bass boost, set the POSITION switch to ensure that the bass level suits the placement of the loud speaker. The appropriate switch setting depends on the distance from the loud-speaker to the walls and corners of the room. Use the guidelines mentioned here, when deciding which of the three POSITION switch settings to select – on each loudspeaker.

The position zones, shown on the next page, are meant as guide lines – you may, of course, set the switch to any of the three settings you prefer.

Position zones: The three settings (CORNER-WALL-FREE) correspond to the position zones marked in different shades of grey.

CORNER

Use this setting if the loudspeaker is placed in a corner – shown by the dark grey areas in the illustration.

WALL

Use this setting if the loud speaker is placed less than 15 cm (6") from the wall, and no closer to a corner than 50 cm (20") – shown by the grey areas along the walls in the illustration.

If the loudspeaker is mounted on a wall bracket, use this setting.

FREE

Use this setting if the loud speaker is placed more than 15 cm (6") from the wall, and no closer to a corner than 50 cm (20") – shown by the large light grey area in the illustration.

How to measure? The distances referred to are measured as shown here (the loud speaker seen from above).
