I don't think the BM2400 support datalink.

Thanks for your reply, however I owned the same system back in the 80's and the turntable was activated with the receiver remote.

Also, the product info states the same..

Anyone else?

I am not sure but I think the BG 3404 was not compatible with this remote control operating feature.

Look what the reference says:

"In the case of the Beomaster 2400 this meant that the record player could be started, stopped and paused using the “PH” control, either on the Beomaster itself or on the Beomaster Control Module remote control unit. For this to work a specially prepared Beogram was required, initially the Beogram 4004 and latterly the Beogram 2400 and 2402 as well. "

I marked the above response as "suggested" vs. "verified" for now.

I can't for the life of me recall which was/wasn't compatible, but I believe the response is close until confirmation.

Having both the 2402 and 3404, I *believe* the 3404 is indeed NOT compatible...

If I do not hit the Whisky too hard, I will try both this evening and let you know.

That's strange... I owned the same system back in the 80's and the turntable was activated with the receiver remote.

You may well be correct -I can't remember. I just know that there was some incompatibility in that BG "family."

I will repost later.

According to B&o of that period, you are correct. The 3404 IS compatible!

Thanks,

guess I'll need to look at the DIN cable to make sure it's not the cause....

Outside of that, I don't have a clue..

Does it have a 7 pin DIN plug? The 3404 should work. If it is playing, does it stop when you press the stand by on the remote?
