I have recently purchased a home with a B&O Sound System. It is the 5500 series and I would like to play my iPod/ipad through the system. My research on the internet seems to indicate this can by done by purchasing a connecting cable this has 3.5 mm connector on one end and a 5 pin DIN connector on the other. Is this all that is needed and where can I purchase such a cable? Appreciate any help I can get.
Welcome to beoworld,
A 3.5 mm to 5 din is what you need. It can be bought from steve at http://www.soundsheavenly.co.uk/bando-ipod.htm

You don't need a special cable, just a 3,5mm to double RCA. The Beomaster 5500 has for A-tape (1 or 2) and phono, both 5 din and RCA at the back.
Just be gentle with pushing and pulling the leads on these RCA connectors.
