I have a Pioneer SX455 receiver connected to a cd player and a turntable. I would like to use a Port to play receiver output on Sonos speakers. Can I connect speakers out to line in on Port using speaker wires that are bare wire on one end and rca plug on the other?

    Ok, that helps a lot.

    As has been previously said, the turntable continues to be connected to the Phono input. That input connects to the built in pre-amp inside the Pioneer. The CD player would connect to the CD input. 

    The Port is connected to the tape1 loop, I.e the analog out from the Sonos goes to the red and white ‘in’ on the receiver, the analog in on the Sonos connects to the Tape1 out on the receiver. 

    Then you should be good to go.
