Dear Beoworlders,
I'm desprately searching for information to clarify the difference between Audio Aux Link and Aux Link pin layouts.
I've read the MCL Handbook, where pg.3 shows the connection between audio and video as aux link connection. When reading the product description of the MX series, I find the connection to be audio aux link.
Beotech shows different pin layouts for audio aux link and aux link sockets.
Could someone please clarify whats the difference between those two sockets and where are used?
I'll be thankful for any information.

Hi hfat,
See http://www.beoworld.org/beotech/mclconn4.htm.
The last paragraph of the chapter signals says that the cables are identical. I guess even in those old days when MCl had begun there was just a bit of confusion between the engineers and the marketing people
The TV AUX connector and the Audio Aux connector could be used to connect both systems with each other to route the sound from one to the other in both directions: Record tv sound at cassette deck or play audio source through tv-speaker or record music on videorecorder to get up to 8 hours of non stop music AND control bothsets with just one receiver. The second system could be located in another room and still can be controlled.
It's just the fore runner of Masterlink.

Hi RaMaBo,
RaMaBo: I guess even in those old days when MCl had begun there was just a bit of confusion between the engineers and the marketing people
I think you are right. As my project deals with MCL2 components, I'll stick to the Audio Aux Link specs.
