Have a read of page 10 of the BS9000 reference book here: https://bangolufsenassistentgohe.blob.core.windows.net/manuals/SOUND_SYSTEMS/BEOSOUND_9000/beosound9000_referencebook_english.pdf
It explains all the connections.
And as stated by B&O Orlando, the aux socket is also an output – this will be fixed line level. Aux DIN pins 1 & 4 are the output (whereas 3 &5 are input). You should use this to connect to a non-B&O amplifier but make sure that your connection lead is taking the BS9000 output from pins 1 and 4.

Thanks – the picture is useful.
Have you checked everything that is mentioned in the second of the two threads I posted earlier? This one: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosound-ouverture-cd-not-working/#post-50361
Although it is titled ‘Ouverture CD not working’, in the linked thread I discuss fixing my technically similar BC2300, which is the straight laser path version like yours.
Have you got the Service Manual? (If so, at the very end is the CDM12 version, like yours – page 15-1 onwards. PCB89 is the ‘CD interface board’, shown on the right of your picture))
Have you entered the service mode and run the CD test modes? If so, what results?
Is the CD module (and the CD interface board on the right of you picture) getting power?
Have you checked all the ribbon cables and connectors?
Have you checked the polarity of the capacitors that were replaced? Have you reflowed the solder joints?

Sorry for answer in English, but it could be a problem with capacitor C2103 on the servo board – you can search the forum (and archives) for similar CD problems with both BC9000 and other systems.
Danish Sound Parts do offer a replacement capacitor kit, which may well solve the problem: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/capacitor-kit-for-cdm-disc-drive-servo-beogram-cd-beocenter/

Further to madskp’s response, I think the Mk3 Powerlink cables will be fine in this situation – available from Sounds Heavenly here: https://soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-272-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/9-length-18m

What type of BC2300 do you have? Straight or curved path laser? And what CD module is fitted? Perhaps add some photos.
I would be checking power to the CD module, and the security of any ribbon connectors.
Is Pcb85 on beosond 3000 the same as in used in Beocenter 2300?
I have taken this question from your other thread (which I will delete). I looked that the BS3000 service manual and couldn’t find PCB85 – which PCB do you mean? With what function?

I got this functionality working with a Beocenter 9300 – 1611 converter – NL/ML converter -Beoplay V1 where I could activate the Beoplay V1 with a press on one of the buttons on the BC9300. It was discussed in this thread https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolab-3500-and-1611-converter-settings/page/24/ where the goal was to find out if the same functionality could be had with a MCL2AV with a connected Beogram. The thread might be a littl messy, but I know I had it working.
Perhaps the Powerlink connection (and specifically the ‘speaker on’ signal) helped in this situation. I seem to remember that the Configuration Tool mentions that a PL connection to the BL1611 is required for audio ‘front panel volume control’ in such a setup. When using just an ML connection there is no ‘speaker on’ signal that I am aware of, but you would think that the ‘data’ connection would cover this requirement.

In that case I don’t have the answer. I suppose that research into the relay type is part of what you are paying for when buying parts from Danish Sound Parts – to my mind it is worth paying a little extra for the peace of mind of a known compatible part.
One of the older archived threads may have the answer, or perhaps remove the relay and take to an electronics store and ask for an equivalent.

Thanks for letting us know the solution – and well done for finding the problem! Great news that your TV now works 😀

Hi Stuart and welcome to Beoworld!
to be compatible, needs to have a built-in RIAA pre-amplifier
To be honest, that’s about the only ‘compatibility’ requirement, hence you can take/read advice from any source. Depending on the turntable output connections, you may need an adaptor to connect to the Ouverture’s aux socket. Our site sponsor Sounds Heavenly should be able to supply – see below.
If you want to be able to remote control the turntable then you should purchase a B&O Beogram with built in RIAA, such as BG4500, 6500 or 7000. Anything ‘cheap’ will almost certainly require servicing and/or repair.

I would probably buy one from here: https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/relay-for-beomaster-5000-5500-6500-7000/

It’s referred to in the Service Manual (available to Silver/Gold Members) as the System Control PCB, also known as PCB40 – it contains the main microprocessor (under the metal cover). The attached battery is the backup battery (referred to earlier in the thread) that makes sure that the system retains its settings.

Many thanks for the heads-up, and good luck with the move! 😀

Welcome to Beoworld – sorry for reply in English!

Do you have a remote, and if so does it work when you use a remote? Does the FM radio work?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
You haven’t said which BV10 you have, but all the guides and instructions are still available from B&O here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041518732-Beovision-10
Look are the pages titled ‘Registering Additional equipment’ and work through them slowly. I use Apple TV with my Beovision 10-32 and it works well.
Come back and ask if you struggle with a particular part of the instructions. (Your screenshots don’t show, by the way)

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

I would like to put the Auto mode but on my Beolab 4 I have only 2 switch : one is for position 1-2-3 and the other one is for PC-Line.
Auto mode will be activated when you use the line-in socket and set the ‘PC-Line’ switch to ‘line’.
Instructions are available on the B&O Support site: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041571012-Beolab-4

My recommendation would be to also replace the clamper belt while you have it open since it is relatively easy to do.
Good idea – yes I think I will do that also. I’ll probably need to place a Danish Sound Parts order so best to get a few extra spares.
I think on the BS4 I will leave the sticky plastic as it is – it’s not mine! If I get it working that will be enough of a success!

I had a visit from a couple of my cousins yesterday and they dropped off some B&O for ‘repair’ 😀
I powered each up briefly yesterday.On the left a BeoSound 3000 – I think the only problem is the doors being very slow to open. CD and radio worked well. I’ll strip it down, give it a good clean (remove white paint specks!) and replace the door drive belt at the least.On the right BeoSound 4 with DAB. This seems pretty dead other than red standby light showing. The glass door opens, and moves further for CD loading as it should, but that’s about it! I can’t even put it in Service Menu. I have never worked on one of these before, so I had a quick search of the earlier forums and think there could be an ‘unrepairable’ problem with PCB06 (the main microprocessor board) so I don’t hold out much hope! (It’s not a PIN problem – I do have the PIN but it is not being requested, and I an unable to enter the PIN menu)Anyway, I won’t have any time to look at either until September, so I will get back to the forum to let you know how I get on …Location: Warwickshire, UK
