Move your mouse around this illustration for information about the different parts of the control bar.















Customise the control bar

The number of sources available via your control bar can be changed. You can add, delete or hide sources. 8 sources can be made visible on the control bar at the same time. Yet under all visible sources, you can hide a second source, this is indicated by < and > around the source.

Add or delete sources via a list of additional sources which you call up on the BeoPort control bar. A list of additional sources appears under the status display on the control bar, while the list of sources already present on the control bar is highlighted.

From the control bar...

  • Click SETUP to set up the control bar.
  • Click SOURCES to add or remove sources. A list of available sources appears on the control bar.

To add a source...

  • Click on the source you wish to add from the list and drag it to the list of sources already present on the control bar.

If you drag the new source to a source which is already present, the new source will be hidden under the existing source.

To remove a source...

  • Click on a source on the control bar and drag it to the list of additional sources to remove it.
  • Click EXIT to leave setup.

The TV viewer

If your PC setup includes a BeoPort box and your PC is equipped with a TV tuner card, the TV viewer function is available and you can watch TV on your PC screen by selecting the source PC TV. Once the TV viewer is displayed, you can move, close or enlarge the TV viewer window.

How to manipulate the TV viewer window...

  • Select the TV viewer window and drag it to move it.
  • Double-click the TV viewer window to get a full-screen TV picture on your screen.
  • Click the right mouse button to make the TV viewer window disappear from your screen, the sound is still available, though.

  • Drag a side of the TV viewer window to enlarge the TV viewer proportionally in 4:3 picture format.
