I'm curious how I would use a Beolink Passive to drive the two passive rear speakers in a 5.1 setup, with a Beosystem 1 as the audio source. The Beosystem has Powerlink Rear Left and Powerlink Rear Right outputs, I believe, but the Beolink Passive only has a single Powerlink input, so how would this need to be connected?
Any and all advice welcome!

Hello and wellcome ...
Every PL plug/cable/socket is carrying both (L+R) channels - there is no "left"
and "right" PL socket on BeoSound/-System/-Master - the system does not need
a 2nd socket - but a 2nd socket makes wiring easier in many cases.
(A single output and a 1>>2 "Y" splitter does the trick too).
ATTENTION: To connect a ML/MCL (or a BeoLink Passive without IR "eye")
via PL a FULLY MOUNTED (8 wires) PL CABLE IS MANDATORY!
!! PoweLink Cable MK3 as well as the brand new 5mm (6-wire) PL version DON'T WORK
in this case !! (no wire for the on/off signal available)
Ok, thanks. I was unaware of this basic feature of PL! I learn something new every day. This makes life even easier.🙂
