Hi there- I just got a vinyplay, which hooks up to my sonos connect via audio cables (red/white). I also have two play 1s in one room and a subwoofer. For some reason, I can only get one of the play 1s to play. The other play 1 just has loud noise coming out of it, so I've unplugged the red cable entirely on the record player so to not send anything through to it. Any ideas? Thanks

    From both, and if you use the correct RCA stereo cable for the connection, stereo LPs will play in stereo.
    I don't know the turntable, but I assume it has a pre amp built in? If no, one will be needed too.

    Thanks Kumar for the swift reply. Yes the turntable has pre-amp built in. Will update when its setup. Cheers.

    You should be good to go when it arrives. It comes with a cable that is a 3.5mm mini jack to RCA cable. Hook the red/white RCA ends to the Vinylplay and plug the 3.5mm into the input on the Play:5.

    Go into settings for the play:5 and you should see tab for Line In - set it to autoplay and to that Play:5. That way when you put a record on the Play:5 will automatically switch to the turntable sound.

    Once hooked to the Play:5 though you can actually play it to any Sonos speaker in your house (even if the Play:5 were playing something different).

    Note: You say your Play:5s are paired. Therefore one acts as left channel and the other the right channel. When you play the turntable it will play as you would expect to left and right channel speakers (even though just hooked to the one).

    Hi Chris,
    The Flexson VInylplay has arrived, the Line in is set up with the paired Play5, and there's sound from both speakers.
    But alas , something is wrong with the turntable, it sound 'out of tune'.
    Very sure the set up speed (drive belt selection ) is correct. I watched this video as a guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeRovZ3R2V0
    Tried a few 33 speed vinyl records, the voice and music sounded too slow (warped).
    Have contacted Flexson customer support, waiting for for their advice.
    Its a new unused item, so not sure if the problem is related to the drive belt,
