    The 4 pin connections are Speakerlink connections. They are used for early active speakers like Penta 1's  and some of the Beolab flat panel speakers. The extra pins carry the data for the display in the spaekers. Where the 3 pin conections are MCL connections.

    No, you will have display in link rooms with a MCL-2AV. I have BL4500 connected to a MCL-2AV and the display works fine. Pentas and other speakers are connected to the MCL-2AV by PowerLink.

    There are no normal speaker-out on a 2AV, only PowerLink, antenna and 3 AUX (CD, TAPE and TV-AUX).

    The MCL-2AV is connected to the Beocenter via MCL cable, and hereby you can actualle get Powerlink, even if you music system does not have the outlets.

    **edit, have added:

    I am not sure about an MCL-2A, which is used with passive speakers. Cannot remember how many pins there are to each spearker, but will check when I get home this evening.

    Living room: BV7-40 mkIV + V8000, BL5, BL3, BM1 and BS9000. Bedroom: MX3000 and BL4500 on MCL2-AV. Around: PentaIII, CX100 and MCX35 on ML/MCL + MCL2-A, BeoPort and BL4 on ML, BS3300 + M75 as stand alone, BC6000 + BC600 and BT1100, LC1, LC2, Beo4, Beo5 and BL1000, BS2 and A8, EarSet2, Apron, Coffee mugs, Enamel Bagdes, Bath towel, Keyring, Books, Lots of miniature and the Bottle opener.

    When I had my Beolab Penta A connected to a MCL-2A box i had full and working information on the displays.

    I use a Beosystem 5500 with a MCL-2A box to a linkroom (MCL-2A connected to Speaker 2 on Beomaster 5500). The speakerconnections on MCL-2A box is a standard 4-pin Speakerlink while on Speaker2 on Beomaster 5500 is "only" 3-pin.

    Speaker1 : oneway data to speaker display (4 pin)

    Speaker 2 : twoway data to master control link, if you look at the ''extra speaker kit" to passive speakers it has the same connection as Speaker 1. (3 pin)

    Hi Stig....okay...i know i must be on the short bus or something.....but when i look at the set up handbook for the BC9500 online......"Speaker 1" has 4 pins... and

    "Speaker 2" and 3 pins....Now....Speaker 2 is what they use for MCL...yes???

    So why....would there be 4 pins in Speaker 1 and not Speaker 2.....I would think 2 way would take more pins....???????????
