Glass door
Fasten the glass door by inserting its metal bracket into
the corresponding slot on the front of the BeoSound
2000. The bracket must be inserted with the imprinted
mark “UP” facing upwards. Press gently on the glass
door until it is properly seated.
When properly assembled, the edges of the door will
be aligned with the edges of the centre part of the
BeoSound 2000.

Treat the glass door with great

care! If it crack or chip, or if it is
damaged in any other way, it
must be replaced immediately
as it could otherwise cause
bodily harm. You can order a
replacement door through your
Bang & Olufsen dealer.

Compact Discs (CD's) should be handled and stored
with the same care as conventional records. If the CD is
always held by the edges and placed in its original
cassette after playing, no cleaning will be required.
Should the CD become soiled by fingerprints, dust or
dirt, it can be wiped with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry
cloth. No solvents or abrasive cleaners should ever be
used on the CD. Avoid extreme heat and humidity, and Always wipe the CD in a

the tape is tightly wound. If not, try using a pencil or
other thin object to tighten the tape. Start Bang & Olufsen
