Beomaster 1900 tape input

Hi,

I need a wiring diagram for the 5 pin DIN connector for the TAPE input on the Beomaster 1900. I have wired a 3.5mm jack to a 5 pin male connector so that I can play music from a mp3 player through the amp. The phono and tuner sounds great, in stereo. But when I play through the Tape, left channel is virtually dead. I have tried to bend the pins in the female connector. No dice. 

I have swapped out cables and still no dice. So my assumption is I wired the DIN pins wrong or perhaps something then deeper. I Googled diagrams, but there seem to be some variations. Is the wiring pattern for the tape input on the 1900 different / special?

Please help.

Many thanks,

Henry.

Make sure the jack is inserted all the way in the MP3 player, some MP3 players has 1/8" connector, so a 3.5 mm will fit hard

The Beomaster 1900 has standard tape in/out sockets. It works with standard DIN to RCA or DIN to jack cables, usually available for a few pounds on ePay for instance.

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I swapped the mp3 player to another amp (sansui), and the setup works fine, but not on the B&O. Ebay typically takes 6 weeks to arrive, plus I live in a very small town. Hence trying to wire it myself.

Henry.

Update:

I pulled the male DIN plug out and hard wired the connections into the 1900. Using pin 2 as ground, I tested each of the other pins - only pin 5 produces nice clean sound, the other 3 pins are dead / very faint.

I suspect the problem is with the 1900.

Any advice?

Thanks, 

Henry.
