Integration of BeoSound 3000 without speakers in to BeoVision 11

[sandor szucs]

Hi,

I have a BeoVision 11 with BeoLab 1, 2, & 600 connected. I want to connect my BeoSound 3000 to the BeoVision 11. I wanted to purchase a cable with 8pin power link at one end and 9pin mini DIN at the other from “Sounds Heavenly” but they do not ship to Australia. So I would like to make this cable myself .

Could any one give me a wiring diagram please?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

Have a look at the diagrams half way down this page covering the mini DIN 9-pin (the third one covers powerlink):  https://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32157&KW=beovision+11&PN=0&TPN=27

You might wan’t to consider how you are going to control this setup.

If you wan’t to control both the Beovision 11 and the BS3000 with a remote there a few things to consider:

• The AV input on the BV11 can only be assigned to one source name. So if you make that CD, you will be able to press CD and start both the BV11 and the CD player on the BS3000. However you will have trouble selecting another source from the BS3000 (you can do it on the BS3000 button though). Further more you will have a double volume control issue.
• If you instead assign the AV input to a video based source name like DVD or V.MEM you can active the BV11 with that and then select the desired audio source on the BS3000 with it’s source button. This way you will avoid the double volume control issue.
• Instead of using Powerlink out of the BS3000 you can get a fixed volume by using the aux out pins in the AUX connector. This way you only do volume control on the BV11. If this is smart depend on which of the above solutions you take.
• I will also mention the larger alternative which is the Beolink Converter NL/ML which can give you full integration between the BV11 and BS3000. This will of course be a more costly solution and might be hard find in Australia since they can only be found used now.

Hope this input is helpfull, and feel free to ask for more clarification

Hi, thanks very much for your help.

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?

That sounds right. The grey wire in a fully wired Powerlink cable is not ground, so that should be unused.

No, You will  also need to use another wire pair for the left and right channel since they are connected to pin 1 and 4 of the 7 Pin DIN connector in that use case

Hi,

Thank you for your continued support.

I have drawn up (what I understand) is the correct configuration for a cable from Power Link to AV and a cable from BS 3000 AUX to AV. Please check for me if they are correct (see files attached).

One question remains: Which pin should I solder the breaded wire to at the AUX end? Or should I not need to bother with that?

I do not see the attached file. Could you try to attach it again?

Pin 2 i also ground in the AUX connector like in the Powerlink connector

Hi,

I assumed I could upload files via “Choose File” bellow. I guess I can not navigate this properly yet……………

Will try uploading again.

Hello again. Your pin numbering on the 7 Pin DIN is not correct. The numbering shouldbe like the 8 Pin, but without pin 8.

hope this helps
