Recording on a Beocord 5500

4 replies

Dear Beoworld,

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. 

I am looking at purchasing a Beocord 5500, with the hope of recording some tapes from my Mac.

Could anyone let me know if this is possible with the 7-pin connector and if so what adapter would be required.

When playing back I hope to connect to the beoplay a8 (active speaker)

Thank-you for any help 

Steve, are you there? 😊

I have looked at the info about the din cable - and I thought this might be an acceptable solution.

Thanks a lot for your help!
