I have a Panasonic Plasma in my bedroom that gets the picture signal straight from a hardwired cable from my sky box downstairs whichis all working fine.

My problem is my Panasonic does not have the speakers attached. I am wondering is it possible to use a my spare set of Beolab 4000s (which are sadly sat doing nothing at the mo which is a complete waste)  to connect straight to the TV audio speaker outputs (2 connections)  ??? Is there some kind of convertor I can use on a powerlink cable.

If not does anyone else have a quick fix way i can get sound to my second TV using my 4000s. i also have a beolink Active box I could use somehow.

 

cheers

Scott

Your Active box is no use whatsoever without ML, and even if you had ML it would be no use whatsoever for your intentions!  You need to work out what the output is from your Pana and whether you would require a small pre-amp with preouts to drive your bl4000's.

I use a pair of Beolab 4 connected directly to my Plasma via speakers out.

But it´s important that you have a speakers out from the TV, beacuse if you use line out you can´t control the volume.

It might be possible to use headphone out on the TV, but I´m not sure. Check with someone before you try.
