BM6500 w/o RIAA module. Am I missing something?

[Evan]

Maybe more of a BeoMaster issue, but since its a Phono topics, I thought I should post here. Feeling slightly at a loss, must be missing something simple.

I can’t get sound through Phono input on my BM6500. I’m using an external Phono pre and a non-B&O deck. Wired the RCA to DIN connector as I always do, L+R on pins 3 and 5, and ground on pin 2.

This is the input of the BeoMaster and seems to agree with the above pinout.

My BM doesn’t have the RIAA module (I checked).

What am I missing?

Your photo shows a female input of your BM, which should mate with a male DIN5/7 plug, which should be wired as in the attached photo. Attached photo shows the back of the DIN plug (solder view). If all of this is correct, it does seem that the DIN plug wiring pinout should be reversed as in a mirror image, to match your BM input plug. Also, check on your DIN plug if you have wired also the plug housing…
