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.

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

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.

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.

cheers
