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. Bases and brackets are available as optional accessories.

1. 1

   Choose your speakers' placement

   • Place your speakers according to your 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.
2.  2

   Connect the power cables

   • Cable(s) must be inserted from the bottom of the speaker, as illustrated.
3. 3

   Set up a wireless connection

   • Set up your audio/video product wirelessly 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
4. 4

   Power Link, Toslink™ or Line-in

   • Examples of connections. If you choose a cabled setup, you can use Power Link, Toslink (TM) or Line-in cables for connection between 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.
5. 5

   Avoid marks or scratches

   • When handling your speaker, make sure to place it on a soft cloth or the like to avoid making marks on the speaker.
6.  6

   Set your preferred speaker position preset

   • Set the position switch (POS.) according to whether your speaker is placed close to a wall, a corner or in a free-standing position. The wall position is measured 15 cm from the closest
     edge of the speaker to the wall.
7.  7

   Assign a role for each speaker

   • If you have a wired setup, set the role switch (ROLE) according to whether your speaker is placed to the left (LEFT) or the right (RIGHT) of your audio/video product. If you have a wireless setup always set the role switch to wireless (WIRELESS).
