Hi,

I am led to believe that the maximum cable length recommended for it to work is 4.5 metres.

Hope this helps

Why the long cable?

I wonder if is possible to connect it or even a "normal" USB-ripdrive direct to the USB on the Master5 - why not?

Vienna,

Do you mean that the ripper could not be attached to the BS5 ?

I ask because i'm interested in the ripper but i think it ruins the overall beauty of the BS5.

So, the idea is to use the standard 4,5m cable between BS5 and BM5, and place the ripper near (or on) the BM5.

Do you think it's possible ?

Standard (4,5m) cables will fit between BM5 and ripper - but standard cables won't fit between ripper
and BSd 5 "panel" . You would need a long (4,5m) version of the two short "jumper" cables supplied with the
ripping station.

The two short cables for power and usb between ripping station and BSd 5 panel use different plugs
on the "outgoing" side of the ripping station towards the panel (others than the plugs used for the
"outgoing" connectors of the BeoMaster 5).

OK Vienna,

Thank you for the quick answer.

So, i think i will continue to rip my CD with my laptop ! 🙁

Or you just buy an external CD/DVD-drive, with external Power-supply, connect it via USB to the Beomaster and hide the Drive inside a rack. That's the way I did it and it works just fine! :)

Hi TWG,

thanks for the answer to my question above.

Just wanted to hear if someone already had tested it.

At the moment I let a Vortexbox do the ripping, because the BV5 cannot rip to FLAC

TWG,

Yes, good idea, but...

You must connect a keyboard and a mouse to the BM5, enter the windows embedded, change the Windows Media Player parameters, ..., to get an automatic rip in the good directory, and in the good format.

You take the risk of modified the system...
