Hi guys!

I will try to make this short:

In this thread:
http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/42013/348566.aspx
Keith Saunders posted this schematic:
http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.34.85.56/RJ45-to-Powerlink-Connection.jpg

If i look at this schematic from Peter Pan: http://hifi4all.dk/forum/uploads/PeterPan/2012-05-08_154553_RJ45_til_RJ45_PL_only.jpg

The thing that occurs to me is that Schematic A puts RJ45 Pin 2 on Din Pin 4. The powerlink schematic for Mk3 states that Pin 4 is Trigger power. RJ45 Pin 2 is according to Peter Pans schematic Data.

I tested this and it is true to me. If i use Peters schematic and solder the DIN after the pin names the converter works. If i use Keith Saunders schematic i get noise in the speakers when the Master sends data out on the powerlink (for say Pentas or such).

What am i getting wrong?

I noticed lower audio level and increased noise when I used the standard cables to connect my Playmaker to my Pentas. The displays worked for the most part, but I couldn’t take the noise.Surprise
