Components and Architectural

I have a vintage stereo system with RCA jacks for input and output. A Yamaha CR 1020 receiver connected to a pair of JBL Century 100 speakers is what I want to hook up to the Sonos Port or other music streamer. I do not wish to upgrade any of my components, I have a Marantz 2270 still in the box as a backup. And the speakers work fine for my 68 old ears.I plan on using the RCA output of the Sonos Port to stream music to my current stereo system and using the Sonos Port RCA inputs from my system to power other Sonos speakers in other rooms of my home. I have the Sonos Port connected to my Stereo now and it sounds as good as my CD player and turntable.My question is what is the kHz and bitrate output to the RCA outputs on the Sonos Port? I think the digital outputs on the Sonos Port are 24-bit/44.1kHz. Does anybody know if the RCA outputs are the same?

proposed setup below - can you advise on how to make this happenroom dimensions 6.49m x 3.71m (24sqm) - TV half way on 6.49m wallhead height for watching TV about 1m - soundbar to be positioned on TV at about 1m heightTV LG arc hdmigoing for sonos beam gen 2 as not needing upward firing speakers skyQ box considering an hdfury arc to earc adaptor - are other models available??assume i purchase adaptor, what make and length of hdmi cables should i consider.How will the SKy Q box be connetced  

I’m ignorant when it comes to sound and may have purchased the wrong thing. I have a Fluance turn table that does not have a built in preamp. I also have a Yamaha receiver is used to use to play it with in wired non-Sonos speakers. I now have two Sonos Ones I’d like to use for the turntable. Do I have the right equipment? I’ve tried to search for the right cord configuration and I cannot get it to work. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!the back of the Yamaha is as follows.   

Då ska jag ansluta mitt Amp system till Beam gen 2 som surround kommer ett felmeddeland "den analoga ljudingången är inte tillgänglig på din Sonos Amp. Vad menas? Hur göra?

I have music downloaded on my iPad.  Can I connect my iPad to the Port via an audio cable so that my downloaded music can play on my One SL speakers?  Lynn

So I’ve just now started investing in Sonos but I have this home surround I want to be able to use with sonos multiroom and also maybe use as tv Audio and perhaps connect more sonos speakers to work with it … but mainly connect to sonos multiroom so I can listen to music with all my other sonos devices. What do I do? And also can I add sonos speakers to my tv setup? 

Just started with Apple GarageBand music production software. Bummed to learn that I can’t use my Submini and pair One SLs as my “studio speakers” because of Airplay latency. If I connected the Mac Studio via HDMI to Sonos Amp to then play through to the Submini/pair One SLs, would that solve the delay problem? I’m thinking it would not, because even from the Sonos Amp, I’m then dealing with “streaming” via wifi and I’ll have the same delay.Any ideas? Thanks!

Bonjour,  Je possède un ensemble de composants fonctionnant sous SONOS S1, donc une télécommande CR200 qui depuis 2 semaines ne semble plus charger la batterie, j’ai acheté une batterie compatible neuve pour CR200 et cette nouvelle batterie ne charge pas non plus sur le socle de charge du CR200 J’ai tout débranché , nettoyé les contacteur , remis l’ancienne batterie , puis la nouvelle, il y a un voyant lumineux orange ou rouge qui clignote en haut à gauche du CR200 , parfois j’ai accès à la CR200 pendant quelques minutes ou heures, parfois ça ne charge pas, que ce soit avec l’ancienne batterie sonos d’origine, ou la nouvelle batterie. Merci de votre aide, je trouve cette remote CR200 toujours très pratique et fonctionnelle et qui me permet d’éviter d’allumer un téléphone, ordinateur  ou tablette à chaque fois que je veux changer de musiques ou de volume de son. AngeMod Edit: Google Translate- Hello, I have a set of components running SONOS S1, so a CR200 remote control which for 2 week

With the rising energy prices Sonos idle (standby) power consumption is getting more and more costly. With 3 Amp’s and a Play 5 I’m at 22,5 Watts or 197 kWh a year. At the October 2022 energy price in Holland this accounts to about € 149/Year or about € 12/Month. I'm seriously considering switching to Bluesound who seem to be able to build devices with seriously less idle power consumption. Please Sonos, figure out a way to solve this long standing issue.

Last year I installed a Sonos Port in my house which is connected to a home speaker system. Recently, I have purchased a Dj mixer, more specifically the Allen & Heath Xone 23C which I use with a pair of CD Players, the Pioneer XDJ 700’s, and I am wondering if there is anyway to connect those to the Sonos Port so that I could play music through the home speakers? I attached pictures below showing the ports on both the Xone 23C and the XDJ 700's. 

Is it possible to use my current receiver and phonograph to play vinyl records through Arc?

If all I have is the Sonos Move and the Port, I could stream CD player and Turntable (with pre-amp) to the Move without an amplifier/receiver, correct? Your thoughts. 

I recently moved into an home that has wiring and in ceiling speakers for a multi room audio system. I’d like to be able to stream music to these speakers without going to the cabinet to turn on a receiver, etc. I was thinking a Sonos Amp looked like a good option, but I'm far from a home audio expert so i’m hoping to get recommendations from those that know. Below are the existing components the home has, would a Sonos amp have enough power to play music on both the main floor and the basement speakers? My fear is buying a Sonos amp which isnt cheap and then finding out it doesnt have the necessary power - then I’m stuck.

I need advice regarding connecting a cd player to my sonos five! What would be my best option to do this? What sort of cd players should I be looking for or avoiding?? 

Hello all,I’m a lighting designer, and occasionally I do a/v network installs as an ancillary service.  I recently got stung by building out a whole home audio system with Amps/architectural speakers with a few rooms paired with Sub gen3’s.  The Amps were rackmount and wired to the network switch in an a/v closet FAR away from the rooms where the passive in-ceiling speakers and Sub were located.  Sonos led me to believe that as long as I had healthy wifi in a room with a Sub, it could connect (via the local AP) to the Amp in the network closet no problem.  I learned post install that this does not work as there is no network wifi connection for the Sub as it’s a proprietary Amp to Sub 5ghz connection.  I’m still navigating a reasonable solution to that issue with the client and Sonos.   My question is related to ensuring that any new installs are bullet proof.  Can someone 100% confirm that if I have an AMP set up far away (outside the bounds of the wireless 5ghz connection) from a Sub

New build. Need help with in ceiling speaker placement for main living and kitchen area. This will be for music only. Do not intend to try and do a tv surround sound. Thanks.  

Can an amp, with speakers connected, be used for both TV surround sound and music? I have installed a Sonos system in a home. There are 11 Sonos amps for music in several rooms/spaces, 3 Arc soundbars and 3 Subs (for the three TV-viewing areas). I’d like to set up the system to play music on the Amps when the TV’s aren’t on, but then switch them to TV sound when the TV’s are turned on. It seems this is possible, but I am not having any luck trying to set it up. Can someone offer assistance, please?

The Sonos Amp goes into ‘idle’ mode when it doesn’t detect an audio signal for more than 3 minutes. It’s a shame that the Amp doesn’t automatically wake up from idle mode when the TV it’s connected to is turned on. Every time you switch the TV on, and begin playing content, you miss the first 3 seconds of audio as you wait for the Amp to wake up.  This problem also occurs when you pause whatever content you’re watching for more than 3 minutes - the Amp goes to idle mode, and then you miss the first 3 seconds of audio when you begin playing again. Every other audio receiver turns itself on when the TV is turned on, using HDMI CEC control. Surely the Amp could do the same? The Amp should wake up from idle when the TV is turned on, and stay woken up until the TV is turned off.

I’m finishing up my 3,000sq ft shop/garage. I put in 5 pairs of in-ceiling speakers and a pair of sonance mariners outside.The shop is completely open, so I purchased 6 amps as I wanted to rock the place if necessary.My goal is/was to have the 5 amps powering the inside speakers all grouped together and essentially never ungroup them. I put up a Sony X95k and connected eArc hdmi to the first amp, and everything is working exactly how I envisioned other than volume control.  While watching TV, the TV remote control only controls the volume on the first amp. To move all volumes in unison I have to use the app.  When listening to music it’s perfect because I’m using the app anyways and it controls all the volume, but I’d like to be able to not have my phone on me and pick up the TV remote and control all amp volumes in unison.Is this by design or should I be setting up the amps differently? Each amp was set up as independent stereo pair and then I grouped the 5 interior ones together.  

I have 25 port in basement all connected through wird .i want to add 1 sonos port in my pool area where is no any wire connection and no any sonos zone player to connect on sonosNet . i ahve only Wifi coverage there. can i travel new player to my Wifi and to add my system?

Qu’est ce que ca change par rapport à l’application sonos 2?   peut on encore écouter de la musique en ligne via l’application? quels sont les différences?CDT

Does the Project Phono SB that Sonos sells on its site include a preamp ? Thinking of getting one , hooking it up to my Play 5, and running it through my sonos network which includes two Play 1s. Will this work ? 

Hi I want to connect my turntable to Sonos Beam Gen 2, sub mini & 2 x Sl's.  I have two questions 1. I currently have turntable connected to vintage marantz amp to external speakers.  I no longer want to use external speakers but want to connect to my Sonos surround setup.  My turntable has pre-amp & I have connect gen 2. Will connecting connect gen 2 to my marantz amp improve sound over connecting directly to turntable?Question 2. I'm new to Sonos so do I connect the turntable (Connect gen 2) to my current setup entitled lounge (TV surround sound) or should I set up another group titled turntable with same speakers? Hope that makes sense.Help much appreciated.

With the last update, the sound on my Port has changed.I use the analog outputs with variable volume control and uses the EQ and loudness and the Port is connected directly to a power amplifier, with large floor speakers.I don't have an Arc or Beam, but to me it sounds like Port now have the same Enhanced Clarity sound profile !I am not satisfied with this because I believe a product like the Port should not add a sound signature to the sound, it should play with a complet neutral sound.I can understand Sonos will have a sound signature on their speakers, but not on the Port.I think it must be a mistake, that this sound change update, has been sent to the Port.
