Beosystem 3 dvi type

If you were to add an ir receiver to that type of bs 3

1. Can you use the ir type with the phono style jack ?

2. Do you need to use the 9 pin type?

It will be used with a lg panel not a beovision

If it's the 9 pin....were can I get one.

Hallo, I have one and the cable with plug only for use with almost any eye. Cheers, Kai

I think the phono style jack will be fine for an IR eye without auto-contrast.  The phono style jack supplies 5V, data and ground, and I think that is all that is required.

Yes, 3.5mm plug will work. With the 9 pin Dsub, you get the green and red power status buttons working. As you aren’t using a B&O TV, the ambient light check will be of no use. I used to use a raspberry which would connect up to the serial port to switch the TV on and off (via HDMI CEC), so it saved having multiple remote controls. 

I'm using the Phono style connection on my BS3 with LG OLED TV.  Connected like this.
