Hi DoubleU, This is a good mod for someone who knows the layout of the circuitry on their own receiver, but not a universal answer for others to try to copy without proper research. The +5v Powerlink trigger voltage needs to be taken with respect to audio ground and many receivers will not cope with their trigger outputs or certain voltage rails sinking

Hi Liam, Sorry for the slow reply! The best approach is always to use pre-outs and line cables (ie. the Denon 2310 in this case), as otherwise you will be amplifying the signal, reducing it back down and amplifying it again. The difference in sound quality (to my ears anyway!) is almost inaudible, but you should always aim for the simplest signal path

Hi Leslie, I tried to source the male connectors recently and was told by my supplier that they were now "banned" under EU laws, due to the "risk of electric shock from the exposed pins if used incorrectly" Not sure if there is any truth in this, but I know they are hard to find outside of the official B&O route. I have always

Hi dilznik, Yes, this is possible! You need a Trigger Box that can generate the required signals to switch the speaker out of Standby mode, so that it can accept the variable-line outputs from the surround sound pre-amp. I can provide suitable Trigger Boxes for use in UK and Europe (countries with 220-240 volt AC power supplies), but I'm not sure

Hi Liam, The best option is to go for the Denon 2310, as this has RCA pre-out sockets, allowing you to drive Beolab 6000 speakers directly in Line mode (the power output of the amp does not apply in this case, as you are taking the speaker signals before the power amplifier section inside the Denon unit). The other option would be to go for a system

Hi chrisn, Yes, it should be there - just check that there's nothing already plugged in that might be hiding the label? For reference, the Aux port on the Century is an input socket only, so it is fine for playback, but not for recording from the Beosound to another device. Kind regards, Steve.

Lee, three cheers to you for getting this arranged - you can count me in! Just a thought why not keep a backup plan ready in the form of a smaller (but hopefully just as elegant!) venue so that we can still go ahead if we don't quite make the 100 minimum? It would be a shame to miss out on a get-together because of numbers, especially when we have

Hi LM, Your Yamaha YSP-40D is a "sound projector", ie. multi-channel speaker system in a box, so it appears to have no audio output connections fitted. If you have another receiver or amplifier with either volume-controlled audio pre-out sockets or power amplifier outputs fitted, then I can supply a cable to allow connection of your Beolab

Hi trippyrez (and welcome to the forum!) It sounds as though you need a 3.5mm minijack to 5pin DIN cable to connect your laptop to your Beosound 2000/Century, as most laptops have 3.5mm "headphone sockets" fitted. You can find these via my sponsor link below, marked as "iPod to B&O Cables". For future reference, the Aux socket

Nice idea mobey! I'm busy saving up for a BV10 so that I can experiment on it to get a multi-way "Medusa Head" box developed, but I think this could be a long way off! My current "back of an envelope" designs that I'm working on (just in case anyone is interested!) are:- 1) A set of convertors/extenders for BeoSound 5 to
