Beolink 1000,
for advanced control you need MCP 6500 or Beolink 5000 or 7000 

This is an overview of the connections on Beomaster 6500,
on the top left are the sockets for 2 pairs of passive speakers 

Thanks for your quick help, Ignace!

It was very helpfull, although I still don't know where to find cables with the apropriate sockets to connect my speakers to the 6500.

Additionally, I buy a Beolink 1000 remote control, but I've got to find out how to configurate it to work with my system...

Cheers!

The speaker sockets at the rear of the 6500 are standard 2 pin DIN, the plugs (either solder or screw type) can be obtained from any electrical components retailer, when wiring the cables the positive connection is to the small round pole & negative to the flat spade. Alternatively, ready made speaker cables can be found on ebay.

The beolink 1000 doesn't need any configuring and will work just fine. You may need to ask again on here when you come to tune in the radio stations as it isn't straight forward for someone who hasn't done this before.

example of how the standard 2-pin DIN plug looks like.

The small pin is + , the flat pin is -  

Thanks again for your fast and complete advise. I already bought the connectors and will try them late at night. I'll give you feedback on this.

Concerning the Beolink 1000 matter, I simply tried to command the Beomaster and the Beogram CD with it, but aparently nothing happens. Do I have to do anything, like some kind of reset or something?

Cheers,

You could try :

SOUND, 1, STORE

(whilst Beomaster is in stand by) 

Ignace is correct - this will set your Beomaster to the correct option for a stand alone item : ie not part of a linked B&O system.

Are you sure the beolink 1000 is working? You can apparently test if it is giving a signal by looking at it through the camera function on a mobile phone whilst pressing any button - although I haven't tried this myself member Craig says it works and I believe him.

Good evening,

Just to announce that I finally can hear my system, thanks to your tips. The receiver and the CD player are working, and the Beolink 1000 is finally working too!

Two questions remain unanswered to me:

1 - How to configure and save some radio stations?

2 - Can I connect the sound of other sources, such as a non-B&O television, dvd player or a vinyl player?

Thanks again for your patience to this "rookie" in the B&O world!
