Autotuning TV tuner card - This only applies if BeoPort is part of your setup and you have a compatible TV tuner card

Before you start auto-tuning TV channels for your TV tuner card, make sure that the correct broadcast system is displayed under ‘Video System’, that you have indicated whether your connection is via cable or antenna, and that the correct country is displayed.

  • Click AutoTune to start auto-tuning TV channels.

During the tuning sequence, the located channels are shown in the display. At any time you can stop the tuning and the channels already found will be stored.
On the TV tuner cards, the TV channels you tune in are registered as programme numbers and frequencies. Please note that not all TV tuner cards observe standard channel numbers for TV channels.

Manual tuning - This only applies if BeoPort is part of your setup and you have a compatible TV tuner card

When you want to tune in a channel manually, if e.g. it was not found during auto-tuning, go to the Manual section of the Tune menu.

  • Use the small arrows to click through the frequencies.
  • When you have found the frequency you want to add click Add.

Moving or deleting tuned TV channels - This only applies if BeoPort is part of your setup and you have a compatible TV tuner card

Once you have tuned and stored your TV channels, you can rearrange the order in which they appear in the programme list. You can, for example, rearrange them in accordance with the order of TV channels on your television. You can also delete channels from the programme list. Both actions are performed via the 'Configuration menu'.

Adjust sound & picture - This only applies if BeoPort is part of your setup and you have a compatible TV tuner card

Once you have tuned and stored your TV channels, you can adjust the sound presets. These sound adjustments will apply for all sources accessed from the control bar.

If your TV tuner allows picture adjustment, you can adjust the picture presets for your TV tuner card. These picture adjustments will now also apply for the video sources from your main room when you call them up on your PC screen via the control bar.


What to do if you need to adjust PC sound

In order to align the sound levels for your PC sources with a connected source, call up that source via the control bar, and then call up the Sound card mixer device in your PC. Then you can compare and adjust the sound levels.

How to adjust PC sound...

Click on the control bar to call up a TV programme
Click to be able to select AV sound
Click to select AV stereo sound. AV is highlighted and the sound you hear is the Master Link sound
Click again to listen to PC sound and compare volume between the two. When in PC sound mode the AV button is not highlighted
Then...

...Call up your PC Sound card mixer device

Use the AV button to switch between AV sound and PC sound and adjust the sound levels via your PC mixer device as you prefer. Relevant channels to adjust can e.g. be:

VOLUME CONTROL
Adjusts the general sound output level from the soundcard.

WAVE
Adjusts the input level on N.MUSIC.

AUX/LINE/TV
Adjusts the level of the sound from the TV card.

CD AUDIO
Adjusts the sound level on the internal CD-rom drive.

The adjustment options may vary depending on the built-in soundcard.

Configure for copying audio CDs

Before you copy, or ‘rip’, your audio CDs for storage on your PC, it is a good idea to preset a group of preferences for how you would like copying to occur.

Options on the ‘Standard’ tab

'Copying quality'
Choose the quality you want for your copied music. You can set the quality for two different copying destinations: your hard drive or a portable device (e.g. BeoSound 2). The quality of the copy increases with the bitrate (kbps)– the amount of data per second – but the size of the file increases at the same time. High quality tracks will fill up your harddisk sooner.

Record settings

'Copy to BeoMedia 1'
If you want copied tracks to be copied to BeoMedia 1 automatically, check the box 'Copy to BeoMedia'.
NOTE: All settings concerning BeoMedia 1 are only available if BeoMedia 1 is part of your setup.

'File location'
Choose where to store the copied track or tracks on your PC. Click ‘Browse’ to look through your drives and folders. Click OK when done, or click ‘Cancel’ to return to the ‘Standard’ tab. Note that these are N.MUSIC tracks only - tracks downloaded to a portable player are not stored on your PC.

Options on the ‘Licenses’ tab

The ‘Licenses’ tab contains information about usage licenses for CDs. It is a good idea to make a backup copy of your licenses. If you wish to e.g. install a new operating system on your PC, you will need to save a copy of the licenses on a diskette or on a network drive. The licenses can then be restored when installation of the system is complete.

Note that the option ‘Use DRM protection’ is not enabled by default. For the moment, BeoPlayer/BeoPort is not able to transfer DRM protected files. Therefore, we recommend that you do not alter the default setting if you wish to download music files to a portable device such as BeoSound 2. Furthermore, enabling DRM protection will prevent you from accessing your music anywhere else than on the PC where you have the license stored.
