Wouldn't it be best to use digital coaxial, if the cinema amp. has a spdif input?
This way you lose the BS9000 radio source.

Ahhh, exactly... I give up!

Hi scottyltd,

Yes, there are 2 main options:-

1) If you want to use the B&O remote to control the volume, use a Powerlink to RCA cable plugged into one of the 2 Powerlink outputs on the 9000 to go to a line input on the Sony system. Set the Sony volume control to maximum and use the B&O remote as normal. Just be careful if you also use other inputs (eg. DVD player, etc) directly into the Sony system, as the volume will need resetting to normal for them.

2) To use the Sony remote to control the volume, use an Aux Output to RCA cable (wired differently to the one above) from the Aux socket on the 9000 to go to a line input on the Sony system. Set the 9000 volume control to maximum and use the Sony remote as normal. In this case, be careful if you also use Beolab speakers plugged into the 9000, as the volume will need resetting to normal for them.

If you are unsure about what to do, give me some details of all the equipment you have connected and I should be able to give you a more detailed answer that is tailored to what you want to do. eg. do you have Beolab speakers connected to the 9000, or do you just have speakers on the Sony system? What other input sources do you use.

There is more useful info on my website (see below) which may also help you.

Best regards,

Steve.
