It is just quite simple. You only need a DIN-plug (5 pins) and at the other side RCA or minijack. For a few dollars available at a cable shop or megastore. Then connect this cable to the Tape input of your beloved Beomaster. Enjoy your new Beomaster!

Just Google for din to minijack or rca and you will see the sample pictures.

For a better sound use for example the HRT iStreamer. Perfect digital sound!

Hi and welcome!

You can use either TP1 or TP2. No problem at all. You won't get a fantastic sound from your iPod (not real hi-fi) but it'll work if you can solder!

I soldered the wires as per diagram just getting a humming noise,  when i touch the ipod it gets louder, think there must be something wrong with it.

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards

Mark.

Hi markph,

In this link, http://highresolutiontechnologies.com/istreamer, you can find some information of the HRT iStreamer.

I use this one, and the HRT Streamer II for my computer, to play digital music. The quality is brilliant.

Hope this will help you.

The Tape 2 input has RCA plugs - you'll just need a 3.5 mm jack -> 2x RCA.

Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.

There are both inputs and outputs in RCA plugs (four in total.) Are you sure that you have selected the correct plugs? Is the cable alright?
