Beomaster 3500 - 2 quick questions

i have used aux w/o issue...

thanks - it works, of course, but I ask since I was told that I should use tape2 on my  Beomaster 5000 receiver as it was the best option - so it made sense to ask!

 

cheers 

well, i have used aux

AFAIK: the bm would see no difference between aux and t2 w/ an ipod input...

perhaps someone could enlighten us further to the differences w/ input between the two, if any do indeed exist.

So, back to the multiroom: does this 3500 of mine support the MCL x-Tra speaker kit (please say yes... I just bought one!)

 

actually yes, it does... the x-tra is the mcl2a so i just plug it into channel 2 DIN connection... as simple as that, as far as i can see

Yes it is really that easy. 🙂

so the mcl2a has a seven pin screw-in connector for one end of the mcl cable... i have two screw-in DIN connectors and i can buy 8core wire so would i not only need a wiring diagram to say what goes where of the seven into the two points on those DIN connectors or am i missing something?

otherwise, where might i buy 7core MCL cable with attached DIN connections on one end and bare wires on the other, please? those that i have seen (limited, on ebay) have connectors i don't recognise as required to attach my beomaster 3500 to the mcl2a

so, to add to this, i see from the diagram at http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/wiring1.htm that speaker2 is a 3 pin DIN... and the speaker 1 is 4pin... my non b&o speakers are connected to speaker 1 using a 2 wire / 2pin DIN conection... is this as it should be?

 i have found mcl cables but they so far all are terminated incorrectly: i want 3pin din on one end, colour-coded bare wires on the other

 thnx
