I have a Denon AVR 3500H hard wired to a 7.1 Q acoustic system in my lounge. I also have various sonos speakers throughout my house.
if for example I am using the tune in radio through both my Denon and sonos they are out of synch so I have a horrible echo effect when I go from room to room.
My thoughts are to use the Denon as the source and set up several zones on it connecting this to a sonos connect or port. That way my music will be in synch as I go from room to room.
Would this work or is there a better way to do what I’m after?

Do it the other way around. Use the Sonos as the source, to send to the Denon, and then all speakers should be in sync, assuming the Denon isn’t doing extra processing of the input.
If you were sending the stream from the Denon to the Sonos, there is always a minimum delay of around 70ms, in order to both digitize the input, and buffer the data so it can be played across all connected Sonos rooms, in sync.
Brilliant, thank you Bruce
ive attached a picture of the back of one of these units. I’m hardwired in using banana plugs for the 5.1.2 and have the following in using hdmi (and ARC)
TV
DVD
PS4
Nintendo Switch
Virgin box
With this in mind where would I connect the sonos connect
Unfortunately, that picture isn’t clear enough for me to read any of the inputs, but a Sonos Port generally should be set up as you would a tape deck, using the tape deck inputs/outputs.
Thanks again Bruce
You can connect it to the analog CD inputs (red/white, marked ‘CD’), or one of the coaxial digital inputs (orange, upper left of back panel). If using the coax, you would need to assign the input to the CD/AUX1/AUX2 input you wish to use. See page 176 in this manual:
