non-B&O turntable to BV11

[ReneB]

Hi again – I currently have in our living room a BeoGram 7000 connected to our BV11 TV  (/w BL5 ‘s+ BL18’s) using one of the SCART inputs, i.e. via a [din to rca] and then an [rca to scart] adaptor. I’m now considering moving the 7000 to the bed room and for the living room buy a new turntable (a really good Technics or a Rega, not sure yet what kind of cartridge).

Questions:
a) does this work, i.e. simply plug in the rca-scart adaptor ?
b) is there a better way to connect it to the B&O system?
c) any pitfalls wrt TT and cartridge selection?

Rene – THANKS ! ps: probably similar questions have been answered before, but after 20 minutes searching in the archives I gave up.

Hi Oliver – thanks! I checked and you are correct, no scart but din on BV1, see picture. Seems the connection I described was the previous one with a BV10 that did have scart. I still however have a din-rca followed by rca-scart-in(3x)-scart-out adapter, i.e the one end of the cable to the BV11 is still scart!

I guess when my B&O dealer replaced the BV10 with the BV11 they simply exchanged the BV end of the cable with a DIN plug… (it’s been 10 years….). i will edit my posting thanks to your kind remark!

ps: not sure worth bothering / the effort to get rid of the now obviously unnecessary scart adapter; the cables as they are now are very tightly assembled/tucked away by the B&O folks – so the non-BV11 end of the cable simply has a scart connector….I guess a single scart-din (female-female) adapter could replace the din-rca and rca-scart + 3scart-scart (that latter being legacy of having yet another scart connected analog source).

thanks, Rene
