Hi Peter,

Yes, I can help!  I can build a modified RJ45 to Aux cable to link the PlayMaker into the Aux socket of your 2300 (I would not recommend using an RJ45 to Powerlink cable, as the Datalink and Speaker On pins can interfere with the sound quality when used in the Aux socket).

This will allow you to connect the Pentas to the 2300 with fully-wired mk.2 Powerlink cables (

Thanks Steve , I sent you an order last week, and you told me it shipped 🙂 , though I have not received it yet. Thanks for your good service.

Cheers,   -Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your order and for your kind words, if you need any help please send me an email and I will come straight back to you.

Kind regards, Steve.

I have a question about the playmakers functionality:

when it is set to fixed line out and connected to an AUX-In-Port of a Beosound: Is it possible to skip tracks played via airplay with the Beo 4, 5 or 6?
Does it work on DLNA, too?

Thanks. :) 

1: No.

2: No.

Greet MM

thank you for the precise answer. 😕


Can I change tracks playing via Airplay with a Beo remote when the playmaker is in standalone mode?
 When it's connected this way:

Beosound-> Powerlink to Playmaker -> Powerlink to Beolab

What happens when I'm changing volume or skip tracks or change the audio-source (A.Aux, CD, N.Music...) with a Beo remote? Do the Beosound and Playmaker act simultaneously?

The Beo4 will control the BeoSound device only (volume, balance, etc.), this is why the Playmaker has to be set to 'Option 0' (which means it will not respond to the IR signals of the Beo4). You can use an iDevice to control the streaming of the music (including skip of tracks).

Cheers,  -Peter
