Just attach this to the Beomaster via a 7 pin DIN lead. The RCA sockets are there to allow you to attach it to other makes of amplifier though the lack of remote makes this less than useful. There is also a digital out which means that you can use it with Beolab 5s! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191892.aspxSat, 21 Mar 2009 22:16:56 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:191892mediabobny0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191892.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=191892<p>The CD 5500 should be hard-wired with the 7-Pin DIN cable&nbsp;that plugs into the Beomaster.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, you could connect something else into the CD RCA inputs on the Beomaster.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191382.aspxWed, 18 Mar 2009 19:27:44 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:191382stevesun110010https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191382.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=191382<p>Do I simply connect the 7-pin DIN from Beomaster to Beogram CD?

B&amp;O Beomaster 2400 (most of them need to be repaired, especially Revox except the tuner: brand new!), and one more Beomaster 5500 just for remote control sounds a bit too much.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
