On the side of my Beoport Box there is a small black sticker covering a hole ! is there a connection behind it and if so what does it do ?

I don't want to peel of the sticker on mine as I only got it in December so it's under warranty for 4 years and doing that might void the warranty.

I would like to connect a set of speakers to the box but can't justify a set of beolabs as I don't really listen to music in that room and would just like a "cheap set"

I tried connecting into the earphone socket but that works with a set of A8's but not with a set of PC speakers it even causes the beoport software to quit

If anyone has gone behind the sticker I'd love to know whats behind.

Best regards

Richard

Richard the sticker covers an earphone connection, the one you have tried to use I believe for an I.R. reciever to be connected. Maybe that is why it caused the box to shut down. Maybe one of our members can confirm this, my Beoport is buried in a mess of cables behind my PC.😂

I have an IR receiver connected so it's not that one.

The headphone socket is on the other side of the box all on its own.

 If you look at the installation instructions it shows the stiker in the diagram.

In the old forum, somebody said that port was for "line-out".  I tried to use it once, but it did not work.  Then again, I didn't mess with it that much so it could be that I did something wrong, not that it definitely doesn't work.

I have the Beoport since 2002. The manual said this hole was for Line-out, as Stan said, but reserved for the future. Maybe "future" still didn't arrive, because i know nothing new about this hole.

its a line out. I use it to connect to the line in of the PC monitor.

 However, recently the line in at the Beoport stopped working. Any ideas if there is any fuse that can be blown?

I can confirm it was intended as a line out.

With regards to your apparent "Line in" problem. Can you still control the Beoport form the PC ?

The only fuse will be in your mains plug,

I suggest you start by powering down the Beoport and other items on the Masterlink and then power up again after a few minutes.

Hi, it is indeed a line out connection, I use it everyday to send the audio signal to my wireless speakers throughout the house!

It works with my BeoPort in option 2, and no headphone connected; if I remember correctly, I once plugged in headphones and the line out was muted, but after restarting BeoPort (=unplug/replug), everything worked fine again.

I think it also mutes when using the Powerlink socket at the same time, not 100% sure because I onlny use Masterlink & line outputs on my BeoPort box.

Have tried all, but still no luck. So I will send it to the dealer's

BTW: line-out I also can confirm, I use it to connect it to my monitor
