Hi Emma, I sympathize with you at this moment, as I imagine you are overwhelmed with responses and suggestions! Nevertheless, your first thing to eliminate is the DIN5/7-to-RCA cable, as where everything starts (or ends) is literally in the pinout compatibility from the BG5500 DIN5/7 plug to the corresponding female DIN5/7 plug on a DIN-to-RCA cable. So, either Sounds Heavenly (Beogram to non-B&O device phono preamp, amplifier, receiver, with internal ground link) or AV Connection (AV-advance B&O turntable adapter) cable should work, as both are specificaly wired to work with any Beogram turntable.

Thanks so much again, Emma

So happy to report that with the new DIN to RCA cable from Sound Heavenly, the record player works! Luckily there doesn't appear to be any extra hum, (thank you Mark for the suggestion though)
Thank you so much to everyone for all your help - I never ever would've gotten it working if it weren't for you all!
While playing records today, we got some smiles from our son ❤️
