6270302 - DIN to 2x RCA.  May need a ground isolator - PC input can be a bit noisier than PL...

 Best,

Does that work with left and right channels?

Thanks Beoaus.

This does not work either. Its labeled as a PC Input Adapter.P/N 627316.

Does this 6270828?

Tonnes of confusion on this.

Trip English can you help?

Beoaus.

Looking at the pinout of a PowerLink connector, I would assume that the right channel input is not located at Pin 4, which would be the standard location, because Pin 4 is used for the Speaker-ON-Signal at the PowerLink connector. B&O seems to have "misused" some pins on the PowerLink/PC-connector. May be the right channel must be connected to Pin 7 or Pin 8 or even to Pin 6. This would require a special adapter.

Other users suffered from the same problem (only left channel working) when using the BeoLink Active as external input.

This is only a wild guess but might be worth trying the other pins as mentioned above.

Hi Stan,

what I was looking at, when I wrote down my thoughts, was a BeoLink Active manual which shows two 8-pin DIN sockets, one labeled as "PowerLink" and the second labeled as "PowerLink/PC". Thus the second socket obviously serves two purposes. I´m not aware that there is a "newer style" BeoLink Active. What type of sockets does your BeoLink Active supply?

The hum you mentioned can be produced by the source you connected to the BeoLink Active. PCs normally use switching power supplies which can create hum. Or you created a ground loop (B&O system and audio source connected to different main outlets / phases). What kind of audio source did you use?

Mine has 2 8-pin DIN sockets (in addition to the ML and IR sockets), one labeled as "PowerLink" and the 2nd labeled as "PC".  I had assumed that there was a newer style active because there are 2 different active references on this site.  One that shows 2 PL DINS, the other shows a PL DIN and a PC DIN with the note.

I hadn't considered a dual use port.  I suppose that would be feasible since PL (without data display) only uses 4 pins leaving 1, 6, 7 or 8 as potential the audio in.  I guess this would be easy enough to test by changing my speaker connect to the PC port...  I wonder if this would damage anything...  However, if it were a PL port, I don't understand how any channel would work... given that PL has output on the pins that I am connecting the input to...

The fixed audio output of a Toshiba LCD is the audio source.  It is plugged into the same outlet as the active.  I suppose it could just be crappy output from the TV.  I bought the TV primarily because it was cheap.
