Hi just wondered If anyone could help me, I am fairly new to Bang and olufsen equipment and I am trying to find out the best way to connect a pair of BeoVox CX100 speakers to use as part of a surround sound.
My Beovision 3 32 has the dolby surround sound module fitted and I am wondering if I can I just connect the speakers into that, I do realise that the speakers are passive, however I didnt know if there was an amp in the tv to power these.
If there is know amp can anyone recommend an amp to do the job, I was looking at an mcl2p amplifier but dont know if this would work, Also I dont know how to connect this to the tv, does it have to be connected through the masterlink cable. I also notice that they have these amps have Ir controls is this neccessary to work the speakers or can the volume be controlled through the tv and beo4 remote.
If anyone can help and point me in the right direction that would be great, I would also be interested if anyone has the same setup and how it performs, Thanks in anticipation

Hi,
the CX100 are passive speakers as you already said. You need a MCL2P as an amplifier for a pair of passive speakers.
the mcl2p will be connected to the dolby digital module of your BV3-32 via powerlink cables.
As far as i remember the dolby digital module drives the correct pin also (PIN4 of MCL2P powerlink connector).
If i'm wrong the cable from the dolby digital modules powerlink connector has to be modified so that PIN 1 goes to PIN 4 at the other side of the cable.
I can tell you more this evening.

Well checked the 'problem':
You need a Powerlink Cable Mark2 (the thick one), a Audio Aux Cable (7-PIN) or an ordinary 5-PIN DIN Cable to start up the MCL-2P.
