is it still possible to hook up a WD100 to a S1 system

Hi,

I was setting up an older Sonos system an our cabin and wanted to add a WD100 iPod dock to it. Sonos said it was no longer supported, but I was hoping someone had a work around. I’ve got an older iPod that has all my music on it. My system consists of a bridge, two Play 5’s (in different rooms), and a Play 1.

if anyone knows a way to make it work, please let me know. I’ve gone through the process with Sonos support, but I’m not sure how good the support rep was.

Thanks,

Gary

Does the iPod have a headphone output? It wouldn’t be ideal but you might hook that to the Play 5’s input and fiddle the iPod volume levels for the best sound. A NAS option would be better though.

I’d look at removing that Bridge from your system, they cause a lot of problems that are hard to find and they aren’t needed in most cases. Just set your Sonos up to connect to your WiFi or hook one to your router using Ethernet.

The Play 5 in the living room already has the line in occupied with a cable from the tv. I hated the sound from the tv and had previously tried using the Play 5. After adjusting for delay, it has worked pretty well.

Since there is a concurrent thread running on this: now on the play 5 sound you are not disturbed by any lip sync issues with the TV video?

I’ll have to check that next time I’m there.
