Connect Beomaster 7000 to SONOS
10 replies
I have a Beomaster 7000 with a phono, CD and tape. I purchased a 7 pin DIN with two RCA jacks to connect to my SONOS connect.
I want to play the system to the line in on the SONOS. It will not play from any of the 7 pin connections. I got it to play from the headphone jack so I know the SONOS line in is working.
There was another post that said to use the tape connection I tried both tape 1 and 2 with no success.
The line in/out jack doesn’t work either. Possibly because I have only line out, not back in. It appears it may need both to make the loop?
Any help would be appreciated.

The Line In/Out jack is used for an equalizer (or similar) between the 7000's preamp section and its amplifier section. Your photo shows the factory-installed crossover plug, which you should leave alone. (If it were removed you would get no sound out your non-powered speakers.)
In your case, I would use the Tape 2 jack, just because it's easier to put your fingers on. The usual problem is that someone gives you a Line-In RCA->DIN-8 cable rather than the Line-Out cable -- just the wrong pins hooked up. For this reason I tell folks to buy a Tape-In-AND-Out cable even if you don't need it -- so you can listen to test which plugs are the inputs and use the *other* two! I bought one on amazon, ASIN# B00M0FXR8A, less than $10. Also a forum sponsor (scroll down) sells cables, and guarantees you'll get the correct one if you order just Tape->Line-Out!
Awesome. SO helpful. Thank you!
I did try the line in/out and it unfolded exactly as you said.
I'm sure I did buy the wrong cable.
This is the one I bought:

Hi,
This is the cable you need, it connects to either the Tape 1 or Tape 2 socket of the Beomaster to give you 2-way music between the B&O and the Sonos systems (please note that this link won't work until Monday morning, as my site is closed for maintenance today):-

Dear Beoworld Teammembers
I would also like to connect my Beomaster 7000 to a Sonos Connect. I would like to use the connector I found in Switzerland.
Can somebody tell me if this connector could work as well?
Thanks in advance ;)

Thanks a lot for your easy understandable reply! ;)
I found a similar Product in Switzerland which i guess allows for what you described. I then asked myself if i connect the Beomaster 7000 with my Sonos Connect can I just listen to Sonos music since it is an input or does it work also the other way around. I have the additional Beogram and would obviously also like to listen to the music on my sonos speakers. I would play from the Beogram which is connected to the Beomaster and would like to listen not only on the speakers connected to the master but also on the sonos speakers. Is that possible? The Phono part and the Tape 2 part would then have to be active at the same time...
Additionally, how can i have Digital Radio on the Beosystem and can i still operate the Radio with the Beo4 Remote?
Thanks in advance for your helpful replies!
