You mention “scart”. In not aware of any scart connection on BV11.

I use the “AV in” socket with cable from Steve at Soundsheavenly. He is the goto person when it comes to connecting stuff to B&O gear.

see socket below:

Hello Rene,

 

I don't know very well the BV 11 but I presume the connectivity is similar to my V1, where the 9-pin AV plug is adopted for connecting external analogue audio or video sources.

In that case you might connect your new turntable (or preamp if the TT is not equipped with an internal RIAA amp) with a RCA to 9-pin AV cable, without the need of a SCART adapter (can you confirm that your BV 11 has a SCART port?).

Hi Oliver - thanks! I checked and you are correct, no scart but din on BV1, see picture. Seems the connection I described was the previous one with a BV10 that did have scart. I still however have a din-rca followed by rca-scart-in(3x)-scart-out adapter, i.e the one end of the cable to the BV11 is still scart!

I guess when my B&O dealer replaced the BV10 with the BV11 they simply exchanged the BV end of the cable with a DIN plug… (it’s been 10 years….). i will edit my posting thanks to your kind remark!

ps: not sure worth bothering / the effort to get rid of the now obviously unnecessary scart adapter; the cables as they are now are very tightly assembled/tucked away by the B&O folks - so the non-BV11 end of the cable simply has a scart connector….I guess a single scart-din (female-female) adapter could replace the din-rca and rca-scart + 3scart-scart (that latter being legacy of having yet another scart connected analog source).

thanks, Rene Login to view image

Correction: the scart into BV11 part above is incorrect - that was when I had a BV10. The rest is still correct, i.e. only the BV11 side of that cable had been replaced by DIN, the other part of that cable still is scart! (I guess I can replace the rca-scart and scart-rca and rca-din adapters with just a single female scart - female din for my current Beogram 7000 line-up and a simple rca-female scart adapter for the new TT).

thanks to Oliver for flagging that the BV11 doesn’t has scart :-)

Hi Rene,

Yes, the cable that Olivier mentioned will become available for European delivery during September to allow a turntable to connect to the Beovision 11 AV input (I apologise that I am currently having to take time off work to care for a family member who is unwell and this severely limits the service that I can offer to customers).

Thanks for your patience, please feel free to get in touch via my sponsor link at the foot of the page in September in you need help with cables for delivery to Europe and I will be happy to help.

Kind regards, Steve.
