Hi,

I have a problem with my Beogram 7000...it has the wrong cable. Someone has probably (most likely) used it as a phonographic player with a non-B&O stereo and changed the original datalink-cable to RCA-cables. Is it difficult to change it back to an original datalink or any ideas how to go about it?

I thought the BG8000 used a seperate (ie non-integrated) connecting cable which plugs into a DIN socket at the rear. I'm sure mine did when I had it??

AFAIK you need a shielded 7pin DIN > 7pin DIN cable - I would contact Steve at Sounds Heavenly - his cables & knowledge are right up there with  the best.

Probably true...I meant the 7000...

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I've just seen your post (the past few weeks have been very busy!)

Beogram 7000 (1992-1994) should have a captive Datalink cable with a 7 pin DIN plug fitted as standard, whereas from memory I think the earlier Beogram 8000 (1981-1982) had a 7pin DIN socket on the back so that a removeable lead could be fitted, as per Chris' comments.

Hence, if a previous owner has replaced the captive DIN plug on your BG7000 with RCA plugs, you have two options:-

1) Add a twin Female RCA to 5/7 pin DIN cable to allow connection to your B&O system without any modification, although the Datalink function will not work.

2) Have the turntable modified to replace the RCA plugs with a 7 pin DIN plug, so that the turntable can be used with your B&O system and the Datalink function will be fully operational.

Let me know if you need any assistance with either option.

Regards,

Steve.

PS. Thanks for your kind words Chris!
