The amplifier was connected to a Beovision or a Beosystem, and there was light in the display. But the cables didn&#39;t look like Powerlink MK2 cables, which I have been told, is the only cable that works with Beolab 3000! The cable on the picture, looks like a Powerlink MK3 cable for me! Can anyone tell me if the cable on the picture is a Powerlink MK3. I don&#39;t think that it is a Powerlink MK3 cable, because then the display won&#39;t work? But take a look at the&nbsp;4 pictures:</p> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span class="long_text"><span style="background-color:#ebeff9;"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;"><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.01.13.20/65420588_5F00_27032010212541_5F00_3226_5F00_3.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.01.13.20/65420588_5F00_27032010212808_5F00_9870_5F00_3.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.01.13.20/65420588_5F00_27032010213002_5F00_0694_5F00_3.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.01.13.20/65420588_5F00_27032010213126_5F00_5206_5F00_3.jpg" alt="" /><br /></span></span> <p><span style="background-color:#fff;">Regards Loudspeaker</span></p> </span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
