HI  THERE  I AM TRYING TO CONECT  MY  IPOD TO MY  B&O  9000.  I  HAVE PASSIVE  SPEAKER SYSTEM  CONNECTED VIA  ML/MCL AMPLIFER,  WHEN I  CONNECT THE  IPOD INTO  THE   AUX  5 DIN  CONNECTION ON THE 9000   NOUGHT  HAPPEN S  ,!  WHY  SO ? NO SOUND  ? SHOULD  I CONNECT THE  IPOD TO THE  MCL/ML  AMP? BEST  REGARDS  JON

have you tried pressing aux on the display panel when the ipod is switched on? 

 THANKS FOR THE   SUGGESTION,  I HAVE   TRIED  THIS ,TO NO AVAIL! JON

maybe by a mistake you have put it in the Power link connection (8 pin) ??? Aux is the one with 7 pin. if the cable you use has 4 RCA plugs then remember two of them is output, and last remember to turn the volume to max on the Ipod. best regards

THANKS  , I HAVE IT   CONNECTED TO THE  AUX ON THE  UNIT, STILL NO  JOY , CHEERS  JON

Ok if there is no sound when press aux, there is something wrong with your cable. what type of cable do you use?

By B&O 9000, I take it you mean Beocenter 9000, and not BeoSound?

If it's Beocenter, then try the Tape port.
 

Hi,

i don't know but just a detail,if you want to use your ipod on AUX ,you need to put in order :play and don't forget to go up the sound(i forget sometimes[:'(])on your ipod.

All's wel that ends well!

Try this cable

MP3 to B&O DIN plug (in gold..)

That's completely unnecessary when we're talking about an iPod's headphones output as a source (or any kind of compressed music).

Don't forget that DIN plugs carry sounds both IN and OUT, it's possible the cable you've got is trying to output sound TO the iPod, rather than take it from the iPod IN to the BeoSound.

Also, make sure you're connecting to the A.Aux connection on the bottom of the unit (when the control panel is placed on the left).

YOUR  RIGHT ! , I HAD THE AUX  ALREADY  CONNECTED TO  THE TV! AND WAS TRYING TO  CONNECT IT TO THE  POWER LINK !!!!  THANKS   JON

I´m agree about the sound from  MP3, no gold can rescue that kind of compression!  but I think we are agree about the fact that gold makes the best connektion and its better then silver or nikkel that DIN plugs normaly use . Look for exsample how black some DIN  pins with silver gets after a short  periode

  In this point I think gold are a bonus . The price at the cable is still  to "normal" price..

If you're talking about speaker level, then yes there is a difference IMO. For other kinds of cable, the only difference I can hear worth noting is the changes in the sound and drop of interference when good shielding is used.

I've done blind tests, and come to the conclusion that any differences in line level cables aren't really there.

It's like I swear I can here a difference between two CDs, both burned in exactly the same way with exactly the same content and exactly the same disc on my Mac. However, when I close my eyes, I realise there really is no difference whatsoever. It's a similar thing with cables, if you didn't know the 'improved' cable was there, I doubt you'd hear a difference.

oh it was a AV9000
