BeoLink Video

BeoLink Video

This kit is designed to allow a Beovision to be used in a link room but have full access to the sources, both audio and video, in the main room.

It attached to the link TV by means of a 7 pin cable and had no IR receiver as it utilised that in the TV. A separate RF cable was required between the RF modulator on the main room set and the link TV.

BeoLink Converter

BeoLink Converter

This product allows the use of audio and video products with Audio Aux (Datalink) in a ML system.

It has a clever auto configuration feature which means it sets itself up depending on the connected units. Uses can be to connect an older audio set up such as a Beomaster 7000 to a newer video set up such as an Avant or a newer audio set up to an older TV.

It has a supplementary use in that it could be used with a Beocenter 2300/2500 which were fitted with MCL drivers to power an ML system. This requires the Converter to be of the newer type : 1161166. the older 1161466 is unable to perform this function.

LC2 Light Controller

LC2 Light Controller

A part of the Bang & Olufsen complete home entertainment solution is the light control system which allows for the adjustment of light-settings of a single lamp, room or entire house with a Beolink® remote control.

You can also program local and global light-settings so that when you press ‘LIGHT’ and ‘1’ on the relevant remote control all the lights in the room adjust to their preset lux-settings which are stored in memory-location ‘1’. Nine local light settings can be stored with the dimming of each light unit being made individually.

Control Center VTR

Bang & Olufsen BeoCord VX7000

The Control Center VTR was a special version of the Beocord VX 7000. It fitted neatly and unobtrusively in the AV 9000 Control Center and provided similar functionality to that offered by the VX 7000. There were a few differences though. Firstly, the tape transport keys were replaced by two sensi-touch fields, one for rewind and one for eject. Secondly (and inexplicably), the “track” mode had been removed from the digital display on the front of the machine.

The Control Center VTR was uprated alongside the Beocord VX 7000, and in particular was modified to use the Beo 4 remote control when this became available.

The Control Center VTR was withdrawn alongside the rest of the Beosystem AV 9000. The AV 9000 was replaced by the Beovision Avant, which was fitted with an integrated video recorder, so a new version of the Control Center VTR was not necessary.

BeoLink Active

BeoLink Active

This comprises a control box, an IR receiver and a mains lead.

This allowed the connection of active BeoLab speakers which would then have independent control of volume and tone settings. Both audio and video sources could be selected and there was also the option of using the Beolink receiver to enable the Timer, alter the volume and enable play or initiate Stand By.

BeoVision ME 6000

BeoVision ME 6000

Both Beovision LE 6000 and ME 6000 were equipped with Black Line picture tubes, which made the picture sharper. A toned-contrast screen in front of the tube enhanced the contrast level, making the picture more pleasant to watch. And Bang & Olufsen’s Colour Transient Improvement improved the sharpness of colour transitions, which eliminated irritating shadows. The powerful loudspeakers – under the screen on Beovision ME 6000 and to the side of the screen on Beovision LE 6000 – were based on the full-tone bass reflex loudspeaker system that gives sound power and fullness. Both were equipped with A2 and NICAM stereo systems.

They had Teletext that could be operated with the help of the remote control. The same remote control operated all video functions, if you connected a Bang & Olufsen video recorder.

BeoVision MX 4000

BeoVision MX 4000

The MX range was the first to bring the TV out into the open and it continues to show alternative ways of living with television. Beovision MX4000 was the little brother of the MX6000 having the same functions but with some minor differences when it came to sound and picture. The speaker was not a 2-way bass reflex as in the MX6000 but a 2-way Logline speaker.

Complete with a choice of colours, the specially-designed wall brackets of the MX 4000/4002 gave you the option of placing the MX on the wall. The placement options of the MX 4000/4002 also included a motorised stand with room for your VCR/DVD player.

The TV had a 51cm screen, the same features as MX 6000, but with conventional loudspeakers, optional wall bracket, available in pearlescent shades of: green, blue, red, grey, black or glossy white. With a Beovision MX 4002 as an extra TV in the bedroom, you could access the video and satellite options of the Avant in the living room or wake up to music from the radio and CD of the Ouverture or BeoSound 3000. Beovision MX4002 was replaced with the MX4200 in 2003.

Beovision MX 4000 was the smallest television of Bang & Olufsen televisions in the late 1990s and right up to 2003. It had a 51cm screen, and was equipped with the latest generation of the Black Line picture tube, contrast screen and VisionClear technology. Together they provided an optimum picture quality under any lighting conditions – even when faced with direct sunshine. In spite of their modest size, the log-line loudspeakers located under the screen gave full-tone stereo with great depth and amplitude. MX 4000 had both A2 and NICAM Stereo decoders and Teletext-functions.

Beovision MX 4000 was probably the most flexible television as far as placing was concerned. You could place it directly on a floor, and using the spring bar underneath the set you could tilt it in order to improve viewing angle. You could place the MX 4000 on the wall with an optional bracket, which also came as a motorised version. When on the wall, you could tilt the screen downwards, towards a bed, for example. Or you could of course place the TV on a stand on the floor, or on a stand on a table. Both stands were available in motorised versions and the floor-stand had an optional video-shelf available. The motorised stand was operated via the Beolink® remote control, that also operated the television and video (shown) as well as all B&O audio systems and light control units.

Beovision MX 4000 was a great addition to a multi-room Beolink® system, where it acted as one link itself and could play audio from the audio system that was located elsewhere in your home. And on the other hand, you could direct the sound from the television to the speakers of your audio system.

It had the same beautiful, sleek and modern design as all other Beovision televisions; the design of which has even been compared to sports cars!

MX Design

Filling a television with every conceivable gadget that technology offers is easy enough. What’s more difficult is identifying what really improves the overall experience of watching TV and eliminating the things that don’t. That’s the philosophy behind the MX range. In both form and function, it’s a clear-cut case of less being more.

Complete with a choice of 6 colours that included green and white, the specially-designed wall brackets of the MX 4000 gave you the option of placing your MX on the wall. The placement options of the MX 4000 also included a motorised stand with room for your VCR/DVD player. The TV was controlled by the provided Beo4 remote control.

Beolink® – Beovision MX 4002

Beovision MX 4002 was the Beolink® variation of the MX 4000. This model gave you numerous options when you were setting up your Beolink® system and needed an extra television in your bedroom, study or kitchen. The MX 4002 was available in the same colours as MX 4000 and had the same placement possibilities as well.

** Beovision 4000/4002 at the time of its introduction, was fitted with a plexi-glass (acrylic) screen. However, since the late 1990’s, the model has a glass screen, the same as the rest of the model range.

BeoVision MX 6000

BeoVision MX 6000

Beovision MX6000 delivers the same uncompromising picture quality as the MX 7000. The only difference is the loudspeaker system which has conventional amplification using built-in passive speakers.

When it comes to the picture, the current version features a 28 inch BlackLine S CRT along with the contrast screen and the other VisionClear components. The MX series can, of course, be equipped with built in satellite receiver/Positioner and a Picture-In-Picture (PIP) module.

With two colours and five placement options to choose from, the MX 6000 will suit almost any purpose and room environment. The Beovision MX6000 is basically an MX7000, but with a conventional speaker system instead of active loudspeakers.

The MX range was the first to bring the TV out into the open and it continues to show alternative ways of living with television. Beovision MX7000 was Bang & Olufsen’s first television set designed with active speakers.

Beovision MX 7000 comes with the same Active loudspeakers technology that’s found in the BeoLab range of loudspeakers. By building the amplifiers directly into the speaker cabinet we’re able to ensure a sound performance that’s second to none.

Bang & Olufsen have a long lasting commitment to the principle of Active Loudspeakers, i.e. the idea that each loudspeaker unit is powered by an individual amplifier with a specific crossover network, to ensure perfectly natural sound reproduction. The principle has definite advantages in the field of television sound.

Despite critical operating conditions, Beovision products succeed in providing sonic performances which surpass those of many hi-fi systems. The active loudspeakers in Beovision Avant, for instance, reproduce a sound quality equal to a pair of BeoLab 2500s.

And if your demands exceed those of the average viewer, the speakers’ modularity allows you to enhance the sound performance with any choice of loudspeakers in the BeoLab range.

In October 2002, Beovision MX7000 was replaced with Beovision MX8000.
