How are the switches set? There is a switch (near the connectors) to change between powerlink left and right and RCA.

Hi, well you have 3 swiches 1 and 3 is left and right and the middle is Phono right? so they are both set in the middle.

thanks

Well, no... there should be a clear label next to the switch. Three positions, and as far as I remember, phono/line is all to way to one end, not in the middle.

Hi yes you are right, its down the bottom, I have tryed all 3 and it just stays on red with no sound at all... It shound just work with my imac or ipiod pluged into it right?

I don't know whats going on but its pissing me offff!!!!!

Are you absolutely sure you are actually getting sound into the cable and the cable is not broken? If yes, that should indeed be enough.

Do you know if the previous owner used them with the line input or through Powerlink? The PL input has a separate control connection for powering up the speakers. If he only used that, it's possible that the audio signal detection circuit in the Beolab is faulty... but it would be quite odd if that is the case for both of them.

Relax, can't imagine that both 8000's are faulty. You're probably doing something wrong.

Make sure your iMac sends analog music, not digital.

Hi guys I must of tryed about 10 differnt cables, and so many diffrent sound inputs eg: ipod, imac, cd player, dvd player and others.

yes im sure there is sound going into them.

as far as I know he only used the beolink and he also said the speakers have been sitting in storage for a while.

The lights on both just stay green all the time..

this is turning into a nightmare!

Just to be sure of what you are doing, Is the ipod cable a 3,5 Mm headphone jack to 2 x RCA phono plugs, is your mac configured for the output line, is the cable from the mac the same as the cable used for the ipod, when connecting cd, dvd and other players, do you use an amplifier between the players and the speakers, if yes which amp do you use, are the speakers set to line input, when turned on without cable connected, is the light red or green ???
