Just to confirm, @MM is correct as usual: using the "Aux Link" (as it was called in the MCL2 days) had various features, but two of them were: "Sound from the Radio, CD Player, video tape recorder, or turntable thru the TV speakers." & "Sound from the TV or video tape recorder thru the audio system speakers."

BeoMaster 7000 to BS Core

Of the BM7000's DIN sockets, TV/AUX, TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 are all fully-wired hence can provide AUX output - how else could you do tape-to-tape recordings*? ?
Only CD and PHONO are input only.
EDIT: Not forgetting of course the ability of the VX7000 VCR (connected via TV/AUX and a suitable Beovision) to record/playback up to 8 hours of 'hifi' audio using an E-240 VHS cassette in LP mode! Life was much simpler then ...

Not to mention, how else to record the FM-Simulcast onto the VCR audio track? ? ?

So I’ve tried all the ports but still no signal to the Core except the Powerlink.
I also removed the Line Out dummy plug and used an older cable bought from Steve but still no luck.
I’m only getting an audio signal to the Core using the Powerlink connection.

Hi Kiran,
The cable you are using is wired as an output for the Powerlink socket of the 7000 to the Core. Please set the 7000 volume to around 70 and then this will work well with the speakers connected to the Core.
If you prefer to use the system with the speakers connected to the 7000 and the Core linked as an input to the 7000 Tape port then please use this cable instead (please note that this link won't work until Tuesday morning as I'm away from work at the moment):-

Please feel free to post the Beogram cables that you purchased back to me if you would like a refund and I can help with getting everything working.
Kind regards, Steve.

Steve you’re always of great help.
No worries about the cables. I’ll keep them for anything in the future lol.
I’ll buy that one too and see what suits best.
But why can’t I use the Line Out from the BeoMaster? Please help on this.
Would the 7000 automatically turn on of a source was selected on the Core? This is if the speakers are connected to the 7000 and Core connected via Tape. But then I lose the Tape… ☹️☹️

Hi Kiran,
I have just sent you a full reply to your email, but basically I suggest using the Powerlink outputs of the 7000 instead of the Line socket, this generally works better as you have the option of adjusting volume from the Beo4 or the B&O app when switching sources on the 7000 (eg. as the Beogram is usually a bit quieter than other sources).
This cable will connect from one of the Powerlink outputs of the 7000 to the 3.5mm line inputs of your Core:-

Please set the Beomaster volume to a high level (50-75%) to give you the full range of volume control from the B&O app.
Kind regards, Steve.
