Chris, try http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=411 ; otherwise select products and then select 'User & Service Manuals' at the top right of screen. Choose 'Music Systems' then 'BeoCenter Music Centers' and 'BeoCenter 9300' and 'View Manuals'. There should be at least the user manuals there.

Cabling pinouts for PowerLink are:

Pin 1: PowerLink on >= 2.5V; off <= 0,5V

Pin 2: Signal Ground

Pin 3: Audio Left out: 0V--6.5V RMS

Pin 4: PowerLink Speaker on >= 2.5V; off <= 0,5V

Pin 5: Audio Right out: 0V--6.5V RMS

Pin 6: Data High >3.5V; Low <0.8V

Pin 7: Data Ground

Pin 8: No connection

No connection to metal jacket

Good luck!

I'm a Gold Member now - where do I find the ENGLISH 44 page manual?

Thanks

Have a look at the sister site - www.Beotech.co.uk which has the wiring diagrams. If using Beolab active speakers, I would get the B&O Powerlink cables - they are actually 8 pin.

The passive speaker connections are 2 pin DIN, available from Maplin.

Not sure which manual is on the official site - the one on here is 44 pages. You need to be a silver or gold member to access them though.

Newbie here. I just bought a BEO 9300 from a pawn shop and would like to connect some active speakers.

1) I have read the FAQ's and a few postings on this forum, but want to know if anyone has schematic/wiring diagrams for the "preamp" jacks so I can build my own.

2) Not clear on the 7-pin DIN's - evidently, 5-pin is OK (just 2 conductors are being used per output)?

3) If I do buy ready-made adapters, any source/part numbers?

4) What about passive speakers - are those jacks proprietary to B&O?

5) Also, on the B&O website the "manual" for the 9300 was very basic. Does anyone have info on the operation of this unit.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
