Can a BeoGram 5500 turntable connect to non-B&O equipment? Or must one have a datalink connection?

 Seems the dumber I hang out here the longer I get.

The Beograms can connect to other systems without datalink. Just use the buttons on the deck.

Most other systems will use RCA connectors so you will probably need to get a 5 pin din to rca converter. Remove the datalink pins (pins 6 and 7)from the lead on the deck (they just screw out) before use.

There is a converter on Ebay at the moment. There are good quality as I have one from this seller myself. Also has the important Earthing wire.
