Hi all,

I have a Beocenter 2600 (thanks Cleve!) and I've been looking for a CDX but it's proving hard work. Could I just plug in any old CD separate if I got a twin phono to 5 pin DCI in the meantime?

It'll be fine. Just make sure you get an adapter that is wired for the correct direction: from the phono/RCAs to the DIN, and not the other way round, as both are possible.

A 4xRCA adapter would be a safe bet, as then you can just try out which two are correct.

That was quick and easy! I was worried there might be a problem with line volume (or some other thing I don't understand!)

Thanks Tournedos.

I lied. Still not quick and easy for an idiot like me!

Is this what I need? I'm struggling to find a cheaper version. Everything else seems to want to go to the rca connectors.

It can be confusing!

A far from cheapest solution is here and you can certainly get a good quality cable of the right kind from our site sponsor Sounds Heavenly, whose link you find in just about every page over here.
