jonblund: Hello again, thanks for all help, but I am still a bit confused to what exactly the 4 pins in speaker pair 1 are for? and the 3 pins in speaker pair 2 (marked MCL)? I don't know the details and I don't care The extra pins carry control & data for active (speakerlink) speakers and connections to other B&O equipment in link rooms

Welcome to Beoworld! You're right that the muting function only affects speaker port 1, and this is by design. The Beocenter doesn't have other means of switching passive speakers on and off. Therefore, I think it's the muting relay that is at fault. I believe this is a common problem with all Beocenters and Beomasters that have a muting

Not me, but just for fun I tried it through the new translation utility in Google. It was able to make a semi-understandable Finnish version out of it! I don't know if there's a better way to use it, but drop the title of the thread ("B&O HDMI Expander Gefen") into the search box, and click the "translate this page" link

And the spring looks identical to the one I found inside my BG6000.

Audio L+R: 2 shielded cables Composite video: shielded cable, preferably proper 75 ohm coaxial, but you can get away with audio cable if the distance is not too long (one meter or so, longer runs will work but the picture gets worse depending on the type of the cable)... Pin 8: SCART switching control, which you don't need if you can force the TV

No problem at all - but check the impedance ratings first, your speakers might be 4 ohm (should read on the back in the type label) and your amp might want at least 8 ohms. I'd expect it to accept anything between 4-16 ohms, though. If the speakers have captive leads and the DIN connectors are still there, you'll have to decide if you want to

wirralsimon: Almost any of the B&O speakers from around this era will serve you well, I think B&O kit from around this era is some of the best value hi-fi you can buy anywhere at today's prices. http://www.beocentral.com is another good place for info. I think the best thing is to read both here and there. Beoworld product descriptions have

donfranquito: Thanks for the welcome, I would love to post some pictures but am having a bit of a time figuring out how to do so. The directions seem simple (options, add image etc) but the image won't appear on the preview. Any advice would be appreciated. They won't show in the preview even if all is OK. I believe the system doesn't upload

The only problem I have with the current system is the forum search. It desperately needs an "advanced search" mode with a couple more options, and it definitely should collapse the hits from a single thread to one link (optionally?). As it is now, you can search for "beogadget 2300" and you get twelve pages of hits from a couple
