whats the best way to wire up beolab 5 with a stander cd player with digital coaxial output and do i need the beo4 remote to turn them on
beolab 5 connect with non b&o system
Yes,
Use spdif input and option 1.
Then you will need the beo4 to turn the speakers on and to control the volume.
Thanks for your reply but what is spdif input
It's the digital input on the beolab 5.
SPDIF is the name of all coaxial digital inputs and outputs and stands for (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format)
If you are using more than only one digital source - like a computer, airport express, dvd-player, or else, than you can use a cambridge DacMagic (or the Plus Version) for us this as a "digital hub" for the Beolab 5. That's the way i use my BL 5.
And yes, how already described in the topics before, use a sync cable and bring teh Beolabs to Option 1 or 4 (see manual)
