Michael, welcome to Beoworld. I recommend a Beolink converter 1611 to get your BC9500 Masterlink ready. Maybe you want to add other ML products like Beovision, BL2000, Beolink active.... in future. You just need a 7pin Datalink cable, a 1611 converter and a Masterlink cable to connect the BL3500. Should work with all BL3500s...If you are using a two

"Does BeoPlayer transfer photos as well?" Yes - and you can watch your photos via Beoplayer. Stefan
