Hi there,

Bit of a noob but here goes...

I've just got a Beomaster 2000, which has lovely sound on radio and TP phono inputs.  I've got a nice old Lenco record player which works very nicely, but I'd like to connect it to my new Beomaster.  I've trawled the forums here as best I can, and am making a cable to connect it - I'm using a 5-pin din connector (fun to use, since I'm using massive solid core wire in an attempt to avoid any signal loss), rather than 7-pin, as, so far as I can gather, the other 2 pins are only used by the B&O products for the whole data-link thing, and the 5 align wih the right ones on a 7 socket. (Hope that makes sense)

Anyway, I've soldered on as follows:

Pin 3 - Left

Pin5 - Right

Pin2 - Signal Ground (From Both L&R)

Pin4 - Nothing

Pin1 - Nothing

As far as I can see this is right from what others have said, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

My basic question is this:

Where do I connect the External ground wire from my record player?

I'd guess I either have to connect it to the shell of the DIN plug, or onto a case screw on the Beomaster 2000, but I have no idea which, or if it should be somewhere else entirely.

Thanks for all your help and consideration!

The shell of the DIN is where it goes officially, so you can use that as you are building the cable from scratch anyway. The case of the Beomaster would work as well. As far as I can see you have everything else correctly.

Good luck and welcome to the forum

Hi Tournados,

Thanks so much for your reply, wired it into the DIN plug, and works really well, lovely tone and almost no noise (no hum at all)!

Ace Thanks!
