BeoVision 9 + 4x BeoLab 5, and suddenly installed thin Power Link cable (only left/right channel audio and speaker relay - brown coax, green coax and yellow, without white coax, grey and pink) to each speaker.

There is a terrible warning at user manual - IMPORTANT: Use fully mounted Power Link cables only – not the very thin type! If the wrong type of Power Link cables are used, the loudspeaker will not play. If in doubt, ask your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Is there a acceptable solution without replacing cable?

Thanks!

I think not. You must use fully wired powerlink.

The warning is true. The speakers literally will not play. You will need to replace the cable.

(How do you suddenly install cable?)

Thanks a lot! I'll replace wires.

There are another speakers and tv was planned initially, so that thin powerlink was enough for initial installation.
