In my DIY project I am connecting my own wireless audio signal directly to the AMP-board inside the BeoLab 8000. To do that I am using the P4 connector on the Amp PCB.
The P4 connector is normally connected via a 3-pin JST PH2.0 cable that goes to the bottom of the speaker unit. Here it connects onto a small PCB in the top of the foot. This connector and cable (see picture) has three wires: black, white and brown. White is audio signal IN, black is ground and brown is for AutoStart.
I understood that AutoStart is a kind of function that causes the speaker to switch from standby to on, when an audio signal is detected. I want to keep this AutoStart function working after I connected my own wireless Audio-IN.
But ... when I connect my wireless input, the Brown wire is disconnected. I think that will cause that I loose my AutoStart function.
Question:
- How can I keep the AutoStart function?
- What exactly does the brown wire do? And to what is it connected?
