Hello all, I am looking for help with the Datalink cable coming from the rear of a BeoGram 4500 CD. My grandparents gave this BeoSystem to me, as they were moving and no longer wanted it. It is all quite perfect and mint condition with the fantastic Penta speakers... They never even used the system.

Now for the problem: When the system was removed from the wall mounts, the Datalink cable (7-pin DIN) on the BeoGram 4500 CD was severed and the male end of the connector was not provided. I am going to purchase a standard 7-pin DIN and reconnect the individual wires myself. I have searched everywhere, but I cannot find a diagram showing how the different color cables are arranged throughout the individual 7 pins (red, white, black, blue, yellow, and two unshielded power).

If anyone out there has some advice or could point me towards this sort of diagram I would greatly appreciate it.

 Thank you,

-Max

There should be just 4 wires - right, left, ground and datalink.  So confess to being stumped! You need some friendly chap to have a look in their 4500 by pulling the plastic cover of the plug back. I am afraid mine is in Bellac so not much use!

Out of curiosity I have taken apart the Datalink cable coming from the BeoCord 4500 to see if I could copy its configuration with the BeoGram 4500 CD. I have found that the BeoGram has a colored wire (green) that the BeoCord does not have. From this I am assuming that the wiring configuration for the Datalink cable coming from the BeoGram 4500 CD is identical to the BeoCord 4500 sans the green cable.

I am waiting for another opinion before I forge ahead with this theory and destroy this system...

I hope jumping in a year later is not like opening an old wound.  I hace a cd 4500 and the previous owner cut the end of the data cable to hard wire RCA cables.  This is helpful but I have 2 more questions.  In this diagram, am I looking at the plug end or the back where the wires attatch?  Second, where can I get a new connector to put on thr cable? Haven't won the Prize Draw yet, but I win knew bits of knowledge regularly.

Thanks for the help.
