My Denon 4400h has a HDMI output to feed Zone2 with both audio and video. Can I use that connection to feed the Sonos Amp using the HDMI input even though the output is audio and video and not specifically ARC.

I have been having 2 pairs of outdoor Polk speakers connected to a connect: amp for a year and now the sound is very low over 50 on the 4 speakers. any suggestions??

Looking to buy some RF 7 3s for my Sonos amp. Wondering if it’s too much for my amp or get something smaller? I really don’t want to go buy a true AV receiver. Reason being that I would have to go and get a Sonia connect and I feel like it’s a hassle. Please recommend me floor speakers. 

Hi everyone looking for a bit of advice regarding the Line-In source level.iv’e recently purchased a project esprit turntable which I’ve linked to a Sonos Port.I play it through two paired Sonos 3 speakers.my question is what would you recommend I set the source level to ?I had it at 8 and found it quite distorted.I’m currently playing it at level four but noticed there’s a big difference in sound ?any advice would be much appreciated.steven

I’m reading up on the Sonos Port and I have a couple of questions. As I understand it the 12V Trigger just works as an on/off trigger for my amp.  Assuming my amp/receiver support 12V triggers it will bring it back on from a sleep/standby mode.   But it won’t change inputs, right? If that’s the case, is there any way to do this with a receiver?   Thanks in advance!  

I have a question regarding what formats the Digital Out (coax) on the Sonos Port outputs. No matter what types of FLAC files I play with the Sonos Port it always output the audio format 44.1kHz, 24 bit. The files are located in my personal music library.Files that I've tried:44.1kHz, 16 bit FLAC 44.1kHz, 24 bit FLAC 48kHz, 16 bit FLAC 48kHz, 24 bit FLACAll these files are outputted as 44.1kHz, 24 bit from the Sonos Port according to my DAC.My questionIs this the correct behavior of the Sonos Port? I expected the Sonos Port to do a bit perfect pass through of the digital audio file to my DAC. More informationMy setupSonos Port Digital Out --> Coax cable --> Benchmark DAC2 HGCI have configured the line-out to fixed.The Benchmark DAC2 HGC displays the sample rate and the bit depth of the incoming digital audio signal which is why I state that the Sonos Port doesn't do bit perfect pass through of the audio. For reference I've also played the same FLAC files through the setup describ

I’m currently waiting for my Arc, Sub3 and One SLs to come in. But also thinking about getting the Amp or port to listen to vinyl as well. Maybe a dumb question, but say I have my Arc, Sub, and One SLs in my family room and my turntable downstairs plugged into an Amp or Port. Can I connect via wi-fi and listen to my turntable through Arc/Sub setup upstairs?

I have recently upgraded my Connect:Amp to a new Amp. I have it connected to a pair of B&W CM1S2 speakers.I have noticed that a very low volume white noise is coming from the speakers when there is no music playing on the Amp. The white noise is there at all times, not only just after stopping the music.I did not have this issue with my Connect:Amp. The speakers where completely silent when no music was playing.Does anyone else had this problem or should I suspect that the Amp has a defect?I had no luck with Sonos danish support 

Hi all,I’ve recently activated the 30% discount to replace an old ZP80, ZP100 and Play:5. I’m ready to upgrade my system to S2, but this required removal of some other components from my system, which I can do without but might choose to upgrade later.  Will these components remain visible on my account and, therefore, be ‘upgradable’ in future should the offer still exist? Thanks in advance for your help. 

Hello, I’m DJing with a DDJ 1000 and i’m interested in buying a SONOS FIVE for my small living room. My main need is to have no latency. I saw that the SONOS FIVE has a AUX IN, but I also heard that the SONOS FIVE has a 70ms latency with its Wi-Fi connection. Is it possible to confirm to me that with the AUX IN, there is no latency ? Thanking you in advance for your answer !

I have two sets of wired speakers with my current stereo system, but I would like to move to the Sonos system so that I can control music remotely and in different rooms.  I have looked at the Sonos Amp, however most of the time I will not want to have music playing on both sets of wired speakers I have at the same time.  It looks like the Amp does not give me the option of playing music through only one set of the speakers at a time.  What are my options?  Speaker switch?Also, if I did go with the Amp, could I install a pair of Sonos wireless speakers and have it playing the same music that is playing through my wired speakers?Thank you in advance for any heip you can give.

New member here.  Playing music from my MAC and connecting to my Sonos Amp from 3.5mm out of MAC to double RCA connections on the Amp.  Does the Sonos Amp have a DAC inside of it that overrides the subpar MAC DAC or is the DAC from the MAC converting digital to analog and that is what’s going into the Sonos Amp?  Same question about the PORT?  Does the PORT have a DAC internal to it? 

Looking to extend music playback into my backyard just for a few hours at a time.  The seating area is approximately 50’ from the house, but the stereo playback equipment is on the opposite interior side.I have an existing hardwired whole house system, so ideally I would be able to just grab a line level output from my preamp and add something like Sonos Connect with a battery powered speaker option out in the yard?  I’m guessing the stock broadcast distance is too much for Connect and I would also need the Boost?If the component requirements get too crazy, I’ll just rent a trencher and run conduit out w/ 12ga wire and pick up another amp.

Hello,I have a unique setup and need to connect 6 speakers (3 pairs) into a single Sonos Amp. I know this is not recommended, but have been told it is possible. Speakers arehttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007VWA8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1Frequency: 65Hz - 22kHz Impedance: 4-8 Ohm Power: 250 Watts Rated Peak PowerHow can this be wired so that the amp and speakers will not be damaged?Thanks! 

Hi If I connect tree pairs if in ceiling speakers to one amp, is it possible to make each pair play by them selves or will all of them always play at the same time?  thanks  

I understand that using a Port to stream music to non-Sonos speakers though an AV receiver works great.  But if you want to group your Port (room) with Sonos speakers in another room (I have Sonos Ones) there is a delay.  So it is out of sync.    One solution is to use direct mode (or similar modes) on the AV receiver, but that takes away the sub and room equalization, etc.    So is anyone using the Port with an AV receiver, and has been able to use modes other than pure/direct (or whatever the AV receiver calls it) - and still have it sync with grouped Sonos speakers?  I would like to use All CH Stereo with my AV receiver (where all speakers play, including the sub).  But not sure if that is considered “processing” that will introduce delay.  At a minimum, I would like to use Stereo (which uses the sub and equalization).  

I have a pair of Sonos 5 which has a turntable with inbuilt pre-amp in the line in port. I intend to get a standalone Marantz CD player with no pre-amp. Would I need an amplifier to use it with the Sonos 5 line in?

I have a turntable that I want to play over my pair of Play 5s. Bought a Port, plugged in and it's only playing over one Play 5, but other sources still play as paired. What am I doing? 

Upgraded the connect:amp in the garage (to play music over outdoor wired speakers) to the amp (so we could also play the outdoor tv over the speakers).  Want to repurpose the connect:amp indoors to work with a turntable and wired speakers.  Anyone have the perfect budget setup they recommend?

Hi - I’m putting together a 2-channel audio setup featuring a turntable. I already have an older model Connect device. I’m wondering, if I wire like this:Turntable >preamp > Connect Analog In > Connect Analog Out > receiver > speakersWhen listening locally, will the signal be converted to digital at some point? Mainly, by going in and out of the Sonos Connect using the analog ports, will the signal remain analog all the way through for my local receiver?I realize that when streaming to another device it will be converted, but I’m looking for a way to keep the signal analog when listening locally.Thanks.

I have a connect amp in my 2nd floor bedroom that runs from the floor outside into the outside of our house to house 2 Sonance speakers for our pool area.I was looking at wireless (Bluetooth) enabled subwoofers like the OSD outdoor Bluetooth subs since I do not want to hire someone to run speaker wire again from my bedroom to the outside.Can a non-Sonos outdoor Bluetooth sub be connected to my existing Sonos system?Thanks!

I have a Sonos amp hardwired to two inside speakers. If I add a second amp to control two hardwired outside speakers will the app allow streaming the same music at the same time on both amps?

Want to set up record player with built in pre amp to my existing Sonos play 1s and beam. Is this possible to do with the connect only ?   

Hi, i’m using a Sonos Port supplying a pair of Devialet Phantom Reactors. My question is, since these speakers have a slightly longer processing time that can’t be avoided, is it possible, when in multiroom to have a facility on the app to introduce a delay slider on other sonos products so I can sync them, I have a stereo pair of moves and although they are very good, the delay makes it sound like i’m in a cave when using both port and moves.TIA
