This reassures me that I'm not going to destroy the amp or speakers but still odd that I can't hear virtually anything!

That's certainly not right. I wonder if the DIN plugs you have in the CX wiring just don't make proper contact with the sockets in the Beolab.

Hmmm, I'll try with a different set of cables, although the ones I used are genuine B&O cables that came with the CXs when I bought them.

Hey Magnus you're using my picture!

You are welcome to do so 😕

Problem solved! After a concerted process of elimination (i.e a bit of a fiddle about!) it looks like the issue was a mix of input levels and ignorance 😁

The AUX input doesn't seem to work with an iPhone/Airport Express feed even with the levels adjusted by the dials underneath, however, works fine with the TAPE input.

I've also switched the PHONO input switch and the volume is much improved, I think this may have been because the previous owner was using a non-B&O turntable.

I also soldered up a new set of speaker cables and checked with a multimeter just in case!

Thanks for all the suggestions, glad I've got up and running!

That's odd.

I  use my AUX input with the iPhone/iPod without any problems.

@ charz - Hmmm I did think it a bit odd, however, it's now playing music so I'm happy for the time being! 😁 

Also can anyone tell me if I can get new rubber feet for the Beolab/Beomasters? Mine have hardened and would like to replace them.

Got mine

Thanks for the link chartz, will order some today. There is some rust under the feet but I'll live with it for the time being!
