Good evening, can anyone explain to me why the master control panel 5500 is unable to turn the Beo Gram 5500 turntable on and off? Thank you!

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
I assume that the Beogram is connected to a Beomaster, because this will relay the remote commands.
If so, check that the DIN plug connecting the Beogram to the Beomaster has 7 pins. If pin 6 or 7 are missing then there will be no communication between devices and no remote control of the Beogram.

Hi Guy and thanks so much for your reply. In fact the beogram has a 6 pin cable. How can I replace it with a 7 pin one? Thank you!

Yes beomaster 5500 turntable beogram 5500 mcp 5500. Will it be easy to solder the wires? Isn't there a possibility to directly replace the entire cable by dismantling the turntable? sorry for the ignorance and thanks for the quick replies
