Reply To: Integration of BeoSound 3000 without speakers in to BeoVision 11

Hi,

I have made a cable with one end 8 pin mini din (actually I just cut off one end of a spare power link cable) and the other end 9 pin mini din. But I am not sure if I soldered  the correct wires on the 9 pin connector. I followed the diagram you suggested (the best a novice like me can) so I soldered the green cable to position 9, the shield wire I twisted and soldered to position 8 and the brown wire I soldered to position 7 on the 9 pin mini din.

Is the above the correct thing to do?

Or should I solder the light grey shield wire from position 8 of the 8 pin mini din to position 8 of the 9 pin mini din.? Or have both those shield wires soldered to position 8 of the 9 pin mini din?

By the way, I like the idea of going from the AUX of the BeoSound 3000 to the AV of the BeoVision 11 however, the AUX socket is a 7 pin. Can I just cut off the centre pin of the power link connector?
