Congratulations on your new system! I have the exact same, and it is great!

To connect ordinary passive speakers to it you need a special connector/cable called speakerlink described in the beginning of this page: http://beoworld.org/beotech/wiring2.htm

Disregard the data and shield part, you wont need these.

This is what the connector that goes into the beocenter looks like:

Briliant, many thanks.

 I'll see if I can lay my hands on some this weekend.

Just one other thing Kevin - the positive side of the speaker cable connects to the round pole - negative to the flat spade.

Ah, thats good to know.

One last question, my 9500 is displaying code, when I turn it on.

 I found this page http://www.beoworld.org/faq_view.asp?id=76 and have tried to do this, but it won't work I assume I need to replace the battery, but where is it.

 thanks for all the help so far

regards

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Yes, just change the backup battery and reset the unit, as described in the Beoworld article you mentioned.  That should clear the problem.  If not, just post back and I will try to help.

The 2 pin DIN speaker cables are still freely available in a variety of lengths.  B&O also sell the 4 pin Speakerlink cables for speakers with displays, but you may find these quite a pricey option!

Best regards,

Steve.
