The aux connector is for connecting auxiliary equipment to the Beosound 9000, and therefore is input only. You can get output via the power link at the back or the headphone jack.

Noted. Does one powerlink port carry a stereo signal? Would this cable do the job?

Hi,

Please note that the Aux port on the Beosound 9000 is both an input AND an output.  It can be used either to send a stereo source into the 9000 (ie. to add an iPod or Sonos player to the B&O system), or to give a line level (not volume controlled) output from the 9000 to an external system (eg. to play CD and radio from the 9000 to Sonos players in other rooms).

The difference between the output of the Aux socket and the Powerlink sockets is as follows:-

1) The Powerlink outputs are affected by the volume level of the 9000, whereas the Aux output is not

2) Different wiring is needed in the cables for each socket, so you need the correct cable for Aux Out or Powerlink Out

Both the Powerlink and Aux sockets carry stereo signals (ie. left and right audio within one socket).  Powerlink is an output only.

Please feel free to get in touch via my sponsor link below if you need any help with the correct cables to connect to the 9000 and I will be pleased to assist.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

it works both ways pins 1,4 are out while 3,5 are in, pin 2 is gnd

I apologize for my false answer to your question!

Hello to the forum,

I do have the BS9000 and since  a while the new SHAPE, I would like to use the AUX function to get the CD signal to the line-in,

if I`m using my TV it`s worling perfect, now I`m struggling with the BEO4 remote, as soon as I select AUX the CD player comes to a stand still...?

Maybe I do need another setting, but followed this:

- Press "STANDBY" (red dot button) and "LIST" simultaneously.
  (Beo4 display should display "ADD?" - if not - repeatedly press "LIST" till display is showing "ADD?")
- Press "GO"
- Press "LIST" until "A.AUX" is displayed.
- Press "GO" - the Beo 4 should display "ADDED"

To select a function/source of your "LIST"
- repeatedly press "LIST" until the desired function/source is displayed
- press "GO" to send the command.

Thank`s for any advice and Cheers, Lothar

^  If sending an A.AUX command to the BS9000, you are setting AUX as its input source, hence the reason that the CD stops playing.   Whatever source is playing on the BS9000 will be output from its AUX socket all the time.

Your problem would seem to be either with the cables, or setting the correct input on your SHAPE.
