That should say - didn’t know he’d cut the din plug off… my phone is playing up…

I have opened up the DIN connector on a broken Beogram 2000 I have and these are my findings:

Blue and thin black wire is not connected. Thick black wire is connected to the metal part of the plug



Shield is connected to pin 2 in the DIN connector, red to pin 5 and white to pin 3 (note that pin 6 and 7 is unscrewed in this connector)



Yellow is as you have noted yourself datalink and is connected to pin 6



Hope this helps in getting the Beogram functional again

Wow, that’s fantastic  thank you very much for that!

the only thing I’m not sure about now then is how do I know which pin is 1-7? How do I know the number sequence of the pins?

you’re a lifesaver, thank you my friend ??

Shield is the bare metal wire

Take a look at this post fo the pinout. On some connector the numbers are engrave in the plastic

Thank you again.

just for an idiot guide and to be totally clear, you mean shield are the bare wires that surround the coloured wires inside the cable when I cut it back?

there is no other bare wire or wires so I guess that’s what you mean?

Last question, honest… do all of these wires have to be soldered into the plug?
