I use my Sonos Amp for on line music only. Why does the app say the TV will stop playing if I continue.I have never connected it to the TV??????

I have a whole sonos wireless system (sub, surrounds (One SL), beam, move and even boost). It is all wirelessly connected and cannot be connected to my Denon Amp by wires as it is not nearby.I am interested in knowing what sonos device is required or what steps I need to follow in order to be able to connect all my speakers wirelessly to the Denon Amp  Denon AVR S760H).Reason: I want to use a Projector with it and in order to be able to use playstation, blueray and other devices, I need the amp.PLEASE HELP ME.

I upgraded to S2. I have a new ARC and a Move that play fine. But the system becomes unstable when I power up my Play1 and Connect:Amp. How to solve this problem?Likely causes to check out?

I just added a Sonos Boost and everything works great (all speakers are showing WM: 0). My question is, the speakers are also still showing connected to my WiFi network in my router app, so can I just remove my WiFi network from the Sonos app list, or does it still need that in order to work properly?

I have a Vizio TV with Sonos Amp connected to ARC port and fire tv stick connected to another HDMI port.  All is functioning well, except randomly, a stream will pause OR stop and go out to the main fire stick menu or even the main smart tv menu.  Any troubleshooting suggestions?TV is updated to latest firmware - though it is a few years old and there hasn’t been an update in a while.

I’d be grateful if this issue could be raised with Sonos support.For several months now my Sonos S1 system has been unable to play content from my remote Plex server. The problem may also apply to Sonos S2, but I haven’t tested this. It used to work without any issues.The symptoms are:The Plex server content can be searched from the Sonos apps, and items can be added to the queue without problems. When one attempts to play the item(s), playback will immediately fail with ‘the connection to Plex was lost’. This applies to all content.The issue can be fixed by setting ‘Network > Secure connections’ to ‘Disabled’ on the Plex Server. It then works perfectly. This hints at a problem at the Sonos end, in making secure connections to Plex … but it could be an issue at the Plex end, or a mixture of the two.This is not a workaround, however, because apart from the security issues it presents, it also breaks remote access from all other Plex clients, which require a secure connection.Note tha

Hi,I bought a Marantz amp pm7000n. The intention was to connect my turntable to the phono input, connect my marantz cd player. I want to use my current pair of Play 5s. I have a Sonos port. I am unsure how to connect the Sonos port to the marantz amp so the sound from the turntable and the CD player comes out on the Play5s. Thank you. 

I have a Sonos Boost, 4 Play1s and 1 Play3 and they are all currently connect to my wireless router.  How do I now move the Play1s and Play3 to the Boost?

I don’t have a Port to test this out on so I’m hoping you can help me out. I would like to replace my Connect with a Port so I can have Airplay2. I want to keep the Port in fixed volume, but am wondering if Airplay volume could still be controlled through the phone even with Fixed volume set on the Port. I like “fixed” for most of what the Port would be used for, but I am hoping that the fixed setting doesn’t block the Airplay volume control. 

hi therei can stream music from my macbook pro to my sonos amp via itunes without a problem, but when i stream the audio from a film (or any video) to the amp, it often hiccups and/or cuts out. toggling the audio output off and back on or unplugging and replugging the amp sometimes works, at least for a while. but the whole thing is finicky and weird. notably, we have no problems streaming audio from video via an ipad or iphone. sonos software is all up to date as far as i can tell and it’s a 2017 macbook pro running 12.6.2. there is a projector involved, but i can’t see how that would make a difference in the laptop/sonos connection (and we use the projector with the ipad as well, with no audio issues). has anyone experienced anything like this? i haven’t found anything online about this specific issue. 

Sound quality overall poor, particularly vocals. Sound is scratchy. Sound quality is worse playing older records. I use a vintage Yamaha turntable through a preamp 

HiConsidering picking up a Port as I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB that I'd like to connect to my Sonos setup. I’m a little confused by the information regarding compatibility of Port with Sub (Gen 3) and not sure if I need to go for Amp instead.Turntable has a built-in pre-amp so Port is there solely as input for Sonos. I’m not using an external third-party amp or other speakers. If the Port is connected to Arc/2 x One/Sub will it be able to pass low frequency content to the Sub?Trying to avoid spending more for the Amp as I don’t have any plans to get wired speakers.Thanks in advanceGavin

Hello!I wanted to add a Sonos network to my parents’ existing receiver/speakers/CD player/tape deck/turntable setup. Looking at it, I thought I needed a Sonos Port, and got them a Five to add as well.I’ve been working on it and can’t get sound to go through both the Five and the existing speakers at the same time. I don’t see a way to connect from the receiver to the Port (photos below), but when I run the CD player into the port, the Five works. When I then go from the Port out to the receiver in, no sound comes from the existing speakers while the Five still works. When I take the Port out of the equation, and plug it directly into the receiver (as it normally is), the existing speakers work just fine. Any suggestions?  Thanks! 

Hello,I have a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB that I bought a year ago but haven’t used in several months. Now when I turn it on, the turntable does not spin. It seems to me like I am missing a piece that would insert into the silver wheel that then turns the clear plastic turntable. The silver wheel is spinning but is not in contact with the clear turntable so the turntable does not spin. It seems like I am missing a piece but I’m not sure and can’t seem to find a manual or anything online. Is anyone able to offer any insight? Thanks so much 

I have a Sonos Beam connected via ethernet and a Symfonisk Lamp connected via WiFi.I always used the Airplay share from Apple Music to play on my system and until now it has worked quite reliably. But a few days ago, my Beam stopped working, it says ”Unable to connect to Sonos Beam” when I try to start AirPlay. The Symfonisk Lamp still works and also when I try to start music from the Sonos app, everything works fine.The things I tried:Remove the ethernet from the Beam and try to connect via WiFi Turn off and on bluetooth, WiFi, airplane mode Restart everything: speakers, router, iPhone Start to play from a different device: I tried from an iPad and a Mac, but the same resultAll my software is on the latest update. Any idea what else I could do? Thanks!

Hi All,I was hoping for some advice from the community.I have 4 ceiling speakers (non-Sonos) connected to my Sonos Amp but want to purchase a wireless speaker like Sonos Five to augment the room sound. If I play my music through the Sonos App on my iphone using Spotify for example, will there be a lag between the wireless speaker and the 4 wired ceiling speakers? I would appreciate any advice. Sincerely,John 

I am interested in the Sonos Port. I am interested in connecting my record player to the port to play on my Sonos speakers.  I am also interested in connecting my amp and speakers to the port so I can stream music to my Sonos speakers and my amp/speakers.  Can I use both the input and output connections on the port at the same time? Thanks

Hi !I just received a new Port to work with my Pro-Ject turntable ( purchased at Sonos...)All seems well, easy to set up and recognized. Line-in is all set up in my Sonos Input Services. Lights are all white on my Port….. I even checked all my System Preferences, and it all seems in-line.The hitch, there is no sound. It looks like it is playing in all rooms, etc…..HELP!!Thx, Jim

I have a new pro jet turntable and I thought I could use it wirelessly with my sonos system. Apparently not.Can I get a second port and use it that way? I don't want the TT where My Rack of equipment is.O r should I purchase a Victroia TT?Thanks Dean

Hi Sonos community! My very first piece of Sonos gear is an Amp used for a 50/50 mix of streamed movies and music with my existing floor speakers. These will be my only speakers for now.During setup I choose TV Fronts as the mode over Stereo Pair for no real reason other than wanting to confirm HDMI ARC functionality first.Everything seems to be working for both movies and music but I’m curious what the difference was between those choices. I’m also curious why I can’t seem to find these mode options in the settings to play around with or change if I wanted. I can’t even find any references to these settings in the documentation beyond noting that you have to make the choice during initial setup.Does anyone have any additional information on these two modes and whether they are relevant to my setup and use case at this point?

My Equipment: Sonos BeamSonos PortTurntable (w/ amp)Yamaha Receiverw/ Bose bookshelf speakers (pair)My Setup:I have my TV connected to a Sonos Beam on one side of the room, and on the opposite side of the room, behind the couch/TV against the wall, I have a turntable connected to a receiver with two bookshelf speakers.  I use that setup to listen to my vinyl records and I use my Beam to watch TV and stream music digitally.My Goal: I bought the Sonos Port with the understanding that it would allow me to do both by combining the two on the Sonos network. Ideally, I’d like to connect the Port to the receiver/turntable so that I can listen to vinyl AND digital audio through the receiver’s bookshelf speakers AND Beam. Given that, I was under the impression that I would then be able to apply the same concept to TV audio, where the bookshelf speakers act like two surround sound speakers…. Is that not the case??? If so, what setup would I need to achieve this?  

purchased and set up a sonos beam gen 2 - no issues and quality sounds.Next dilemma is permanent mounting position.common sense is telling me to purchase a sanus WSSBM1 bracket for mounting direct to tv.would prefer sonos wall mount bracket so expert advice from the community is needed.bottom of tv is 12cm from wall, if the beam was mounted underneath, would this have an impact on sound quality (assume height audio ‘could’ be affected)Help appreciated 

For posterity and FYI.  About 5 years ago I did a Wyred4sound upgrade on a ZP90.  One of the concerns from posters was impacts on reliability.  5 years later that ZP 90 is still in service, now as a ROON endpoint.  Wyred4Sound does upgrades on Zone Players and Ports. 

Hi Everyone. I have 3 nos of Sonos Amp  and 1 nos of Sonos Arc connected to Wifi network (Not Wired). 2 Sonos Amp and the Sonos Arc are located in Living Room (and connected to Living Room Access Point). And 1 Sonos Amp is located in Dining Room (and connected to Dining Room Access Point). All the sonos device are located very near to the access point and so wifi signal strength is not a matter of concern here.  Sonos Arc is connected to TV via HDMI Arc port.All Wifi access point are Unifi U6 Mesh. All the access points are powered by a single non-managed POE switch which in turn connected directly to the Router. I have used the defaults settings of the Unifi Network.Now the end user is complaining that there are intermittent pauses while streaming music on the Sonos amp. While searching of possible cause, I came to know that there are several threads about possible incompatibility for Unifi Network and Sonos System. But I couldn’t conclude anything from them. So can anyone help me out

Hello, I have just purchased a property that has two in ceiling speakers. What do I need to get the speakers working?There are also a set of wires coming from a cupboard nearby which I believe are for the speakers.
