Hello,
My brother recently bought a bargain beomaster 5000+MCP+CD50 combo, but unfortunately he didn't get the interconnect cable for the cd player, I want to diy this cable but not sure about the pinout. I have the service manual for both beomaster and CD50 but it is a little bit confusig, regarding to the CD50 manual it uses a 8 pin DIN connector with only pin 8 (middle) earthed, but the beomaster manual shows only a 7 pin DIN connector with pin 2 (and case) grounded, but looking at the physical connector of the CD50 it looks like pin 8 is blank. Should I use pin 2 for ground there too?
Hi, see the photo from internet, hope this helps.
You only need the 7pin DIN. See here an example: http://www.soundsheavenly.co.uk/bando-datalink.jpg
The datalink is needed for (remote) signals from beomaster to CD50 and to beomaster again.
Regards, Robert
Thanks, great!
Yes we want this cable because of datalink, now the MCP does not command the CD at all, they are now just connected with RCA-RCA cable, but this is not how it should be.
