I read that beolab3 speakers can be connected on any tv other than beovision through the headphone socket.
So there should be needed a patch cable of some sort that changes from jack to powerlink connector I guess?
Is it possible to hook up a beosound moment with 2 beolab 3 speakers and a Tv like philips at the same time? So I get to choose without always having to reconnect speakers to the device I want to use this time?

Apologies, I read my original response to you and I don't think I actually answered your questions *correctly*.
For your first question about the speaker to TV issue: the answer is, yes, you can, set the speakers to line and get two single terminal/mono RCA->powerlink cables, and plug one into each speaker. You may also be able to use a dual terminal/stereo RCA->powerlink converter, plug into one speaker and then powerlink from one speaker to the other. I believe that would work. 5 pin DINs will be sufficient, as the two additional pins are unneeded for audio.
For the second question: use stereo RCA outs from the TV to plug into the line in on your beosound moment. Then plug the speakers into your moment, but you'll need the RJ45->powerlink cables. That should work nicely. That being said, if you only have two speakers, then you may want to go with a beosound essence mk 2. It would likely save you a little money, but the moment does look very nice.
Your beolab 3's don't need any fancy cables with the trigger line. That's only for older active speakers without line in capability.
