Hi,

   My first post as a prospective owner, may I please ask if a CD player can be used with the old beomaster 1700 ?

If yes, then which B&O units would be suitable ?

If no, then which model B&O amplifier/receiver ( keeping in mind that I prefer the early style ) would I need to seek out ?

Thanks, I look forward to being a useful owner once I have sorted which model will suit my needs.

My major needs being to play vinyl on a turntable, listen to CDs, with better radio reception listen to FM.

I'm a mature age sort of bloke who appreciates the style of B&O from the '70s and '80s.

Yes - the CDX would be the obvious choice though you will need a RCA to DIN adapter as the CDX has captive RCA plugs. It will attach via the Tape input.

Welcome to Beoworld. 

Thanks Peter,

                    I'll keep an eye out for the CDX.

             Is the din plug required a 5pin or 7pin ?

Thanks too for the welcome.

cheers

5 pin as there is no remote control either on the 1700 or indeed the CDX. I use a CDX every day and they are good sounding decks despite being 14 bit! By far the most suitable for older equipment as you have all the controls available. I use mine with a Beomaster 4400.
