Beogram 4500 not responding to Beolink 7000

[Jonathan McCall]

Since re-capping my 4500 and the RIAA board, my 4500 doesn’t work with the Beolink 7000. Previously all was fine and dandy.

Does the 7000 communicate with the amp and the amp then sends a signal to the 4500 via Powerlink, or is there an IR receiver on the 4500 ?

Im wondering if it’s when I put the RIAA board back in. There were 2 black wires next to each other and I’m not sure if they went in the correct way round. They both looked exactly the same.

The IR receiver is in the amp and the communication is via the cable (datalink)

I checked this for another member  on af Beogram 2000 in this thread https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/how-to-wire-7-din-plug-to-beogram/#post-53422

In that case one of the black wires was not i use an the other connected to the outer screen of the plug. Hope this can be usefull.

Many thanks – so the black wires are just for grounding ? If I’ve got them the wrong way round I may not actually have the Powerlink cable grounded ?

It could be that, however on the Beogram 2000 my posting was about the metal shield was used as the ground (pin 2 in the DIN conenctor).

If you have a multimeter it might be best to check with diode tester which wire goes to whic pin in the plug as I don’t know if the colors used in the cables is always the same.
