Steve at Sounds Heavenly: Hi SnOOpy, Yes, you can connect a non-B&O source into BeoLab 9 (or Beolab 3, which use the same Line input method) without the need for BeoPort, but you just need to be careful over the volume levels you use. First (VERY important!), ensure that you have a variable volume output from the TV/MP3 player or other source (test

Peter : The variable audio out sound very promising!! What is the model of your TV and I'll see if I can look it up for you. LG DT-62SZ71DB http://au.lge.com/products/model/detail/tv_rearprojectiontv_dlp_dt62sz71db.jhtml

Peter : What is the output from the RCA outputs? If it is pre-amplifier output, you need 2 x 6270856 phono male to Power Link line-in cables which are available from your dealer and the inputs on the Beolab 9s set to Line. If it is fixed line level, then you need a pre-amplifier to give you some volume control. On the back of my TV, There are two RCA

What kind of external device that will allow RCA to connect to the Beolab DINs?

What kind of connector box would I need to connect the RCA out to the Beolab 9? I have not seen the Beoport so I am not sure how to integrate them together to make it all work.

Peter : Not sure I would want to use a headphone amplifier to drive the BL9s - most are pretty poor afterthoughts. The Beoport will offer a solution as you will be using the volume control on the Beoport I imagine. I take it that there is no other audio out on your TV? The TV has RCA out (White+Red) & Headphones.

I am looking at buying a set of Beolab 9 to connect to a non B&O equipment. I have been advised by a dealer that you can use the headphone jack from the equipment in my case it is a LG Rear Projection TV to connect to the Beolab 9. TV->Headphone->Line into Beolab9 Apparently In doing it that way above in the long run, I also have been advised
