Sorry, I don't understand Your problem. Any RCA (B&O DIN) based output can be connected easily to a SCART connector of any TV, which has this type of connector. You can simply purchase this cable in any store.

A turntable is different, as a regular turntable has a phono output, which is not compatible with the regulra RCA/DIN system. To connect a turntable to any RCA/DIN/SCART based system You need a preamplifier, a phono adapter. Of course, this cost more then a regular cable, however it's far cheaper then the price you mentioned.

well, my B&O dealer said Beosystem 2300/3000 is masterlink, and the new Avant (unlike BV-10) does not support this...A 675 Euro's converter would be needed....

The suggestion was to use a direct audio connection - assuming the two units were close by.  You would then hear the LPs through your BV's speakers. However the new AVANT (just announced) does not have a SCART so you would lack the ability to exercise control.  It does however have this:

Apologies if I still don't fully understand. Do you mean an adapter for the Powerlink of the BS3000 on the one end and an old fashioned RCA jack into the "mini AV input" of the Avant ?

something like this ??

btw: the converter the B&O dealer said I would need in order to connect the BS3000 to the new Avant is the T1790 NL-ML converter.

You need the connector if you are going to control the sources by remote. To be honest, I am sure there is a work around as the BS3000 can be worked independently and maybe using option 4 would allow you to control both systems with the same remote and allow integration in the same room. The problem would be if you wish to control it in a link room. Then you need the converter.

Yes, but it allows you to integrate your BS3000 into the system as part of it and it brings absolute value in a link setup, which means using one remote control, easy of use choosing cdtracks, etc... You will get also an additional AUX entry equipped with rca on the converter.  It's all about easy of use, as is B&O.

Thanks! No I don't need integration in another room: just a "simple" connection, replacing the current ML cable. So if indeed it can be connected via the powerlink-to-RCA adapter I'm fine, as long as I can still use (one of my 3) Beo4's to operate the BS3000 :-)

So am I correct in concluding that the 650 euro added value of the NL-ML converter over the Powerlink-RCA adapter is the ability for multi-room integration ???

thanks again!

Rene

btw: I'm using the AUX of the BS3000 for all other analogue input, like Beogram 7000 (I have an RCA switch in between), so connecting the Beogram to the Avant is no issue once the BS3000 is connected via its Powerlink or Masterlink output.

The ML/NL converter is designed to let older systems (masterlink) work with the new (networklink) systems. Without losing any comfort. So it is of great value particular for owners who are having some masterlink equipment placed around the house.

Is it in your case overkill? Yes if you would only use/have the BS3000 to play on Avant speakers

If you use an adaptor DIN to 4*RCA you have the input from your analog sources by the RCA switch and also a fixed level output to connect to your new avant via the analog input (or the camcorder input) and still have the powerlink connectors of the BS3000 free for Beolabs.

The fixed output level gives you the better result if you connect the BS3000 to your Avant, because there would be only one point which controls the volume of the Avant loudspeakers and this is the Avant itself. Using the powerlink connectors gives you 'only' a variable level output which can give trouble of convenience 😕

Hope this helps
