Hi All,
I'm looking at buying a vintage Beocenter ( I just love the styling!) I'm not planning on using the tape but will definitely be using the turntable and the radio. I'm watching a Beocenter 5000 on ebay at the moment and it shows a mic input and an aux input (din). I would want to hook up either a CD player or my Ipod to the aux input with a suitable din to 3.5mm or rca lead, does anyone know if the Beocenter 5000 would be suitable to work in this way. Basically can I connect an external device to the aux port ??
Thanks,
Neil.
Yes indeed,the aux input was originally intended for tape copying,so accepts signals at line level.I think from memory,there is a switch integral to the socket,so that when you plug in the Din plug it interupts the signal path automatically?

Cheers for that!
But I think a Beocenter may not be right for me after all, as far as I can tell you can no longer get replacement stylus' for MM20C cartridge as fitted to the 5000, I do play a lot of vinyl so probably wouldn't be any good for me. Unless anyone can corrent me! I just want to replace my early 90s Technics turntable and Cambridge Audio stuff as it's just so ugly!!
Try to find a BC 7007 or 7700. They look similar and use the MMC range.
