    Connecting BeoCenter 2300 to a wireless source

    Hi All, need some advice, 

    Heading down to Florida tomorrow to hook up a BC2300 I recently purchased for my Mother-in-Law.  In addition, I want to hook up a couple pair of wireless speakers on the deck and a pair near the pool, from the 2300.  I've got the wirelss spkr's and transmitter. 

    My question is:  Is there a Line Out connection on the 2300 that I can use, OR am I going to have to use a DIN-Y connector to split off the 2300 power link output to also go to the wireless transmitter input?  The Wireless transmitter will use an RCA input, so I know I will need a DIN to RCA adapter.

    Thanks for the help.

    Tom

    As far as I know, the AUX is input only, so you'd have to use a DIN to RCA adapter, and connect the RCA to your wireless transmitter. Would you be connecting speakers directly to the BC 2300 aswell as the transmitter?

    Thanks for the reply, which is what I was suspecting, regrettably.  Yes, I was planning on connecting the Beolab 2500 speakers to the BC2300.  I am wondering how to split from these to the transmitter.  Tom

    Re: Connecting BeoCenter 2300 to a wireless source

    You might be able to use one powerlink output to a BL2500 and daisy chain the other speaker onto it, then use the second powerlink on the BC 2300 to output to your wireless receiver. That (daisy-chaining) would work if each BL2500 had 2 powerlink sockets. I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable members could say whether that works in practice, as I've never tried it myself.

    Robert.

    Thanks Robert, I have heard of such things, but am not experienced with them myself.  Maybe some others will reply to help.  Regards, Tom

    Re: Connecting BeoCenter 2300 to a wireless source

    It'd be worth having a look when you get to Florida and trying out the above idea. You can report back if it works/fails.

    As its quite late in the UK, most of the members aren't online, but I'm sure tomorrow someone will come up trumps with a solution for your proposed setup.

    Best, Robert.
