Bang & Olufsen proudly introduces the BeoCenter 1, which combines an FM radio, DVD player, 25” TV, and active loudspeakers into one stylish unit. This compact design not only offers aesthetics but also functionality, making it a standout choice in the marketplace.
Unmatched Integration and Design
Bang & Olufsen BeoCenter 1 delivers an impressive picture quality and powerful sound system, creating a complete entertainment experience in minimal space. Additionally, you can choose from six colors and five stands with motorized rotation. As a result, BeoCenter 1 fits seamlessly into any environment, enhancing both elegance and functionality.
Remote Control Changes
In a world full of options, Bang & Olufsen simplifies choices with the Beo1 remote control, which manages both the Beovision 1 and BeoCenter 1. However, starting in October 2002, the Beo4 remote will replace the Beo1 due to its discontinuation. Moreover, in January 2003, Bang & Olufsen will offer a Dolby Digital Surround Sound kit for these TV models.
Innovative Features
BeoCenter 1 reads and plays DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. It continues to offer the versatility, simplicity, and exceptional quality that characterized the Beovision 1 concept, which launched in November 1999.
Modern Elegance and Flexibility
Following the BeoCenter AV5 of 1997, BeoCenter 1 maintains Bang & Olufsen’s tradition of elegant design. It seamlessly blends into various spaces with its minimalist style and flexible options.
Placement Options
You can place BeoCenter 1 in one of five distinct ways: wall mounts, traditional floor stands, or tall columns up to 160 cm. Additionally, the built-in motor allows the unit to pivot easily, which you can control intuitively with the Beo1 remote.
Vibrant Colors and Unobtrusive Design
BeoCenter 1 comes in six colors—green, black, yellow, blue, red, and grey—adding a vibrant touch to any interior. Its design ensures it looks great from every angle, eliminating unsightly sockets and cable holders. Moreover, automatic contrast, brightness, and color controls deliver superb picture quality in any light. The anti-reflection coated glass reduces light interference by nearly 99%.
Exceptional Sound and Entertainment
BeoCenter 1 provides powerful sound with its active loudspeakers, reaching up to 96 dB in stereo. This performance upholds Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to natural sound reproduction. The integrated DVD player offers instant access to film episodes, studio-quality images, and an engaging sound experience.
Built-In FM Radio
The built-in FM radio features 59 preset stations and an RDS module that displays station names when available. Additionally, users can create personalized channel groups for up to 18 TV channels and radio stations. You can also set up subject-specific groups, such as sports or movies.
Streamlined Remote Control
Finally, the Beo1 remote control features a sleek design with a built-in base for upright placement. Its minimalist button layout reflects BeoCenter 1’s simplicity and elegance. Consequently, you can control all system components easily via the intuitive Beo1 remote, enhancing your overall experience.
