Port

I have an old but very reliable Pionner SX-750 receiver. I recently purchased a PORT hoping to listen to my vinyl LP’s etc on my Sonos speakers but have had no luck. My receiver does not have a digital out. It has a phono in, aux in, two separate tape Rec/Play. I can’t seem to find a way to send the phono in to the in of the PORT. Does anyone have any ideas or should I send the unit back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

      Put your turntable’s output into the Phono inputs of your Pio.  Then connect the Port In and Out to the tape monitor out/in jacks (Rec out to Port In, Port Out to Play In).  Make sure the Port is set up to autoplay in the Sonos software.  You might need to switch the “tape monitor” switch one way or the other, but it should normally be “off”.

      The volume does seem lower using Port than regular streaming. Especially when playing the turntable. What I was more surprised was the ability to play on Sonos and my stereo speakers at the same time. With a very slight delay.

      Adjust the Port’s Line-In Source Level.

      Obviously a turntable will require a phono preamp, either integrated or separate.
