I am trying to connect sound bar to TV. I have don’t have any more HDMI ports on TV. So I am using the optical cable with HDMI cable, went thru all steps and app says connected by there is no sound going from tv into sound bar. 

Hi - is there any way that I can stop my TV (LG OLED) from always connecting and playing audio to my Sonos Amp through HDMI ARC? When I manually select the internal speakers on my TV, within a few seconds it reconnects to the Amp via ARC.I’d turn off the Amp if I could but it doesn’t have an off button! The reason I want sound through the TV speakers is because they are much quieter and we don’t hear them when the kids get up early and start watching TV.Thanks

Hi All,Newbie here, I've just set up a new system (Arc + Sub + Amp to inceiling  3rd party speakers) it is all working great and sounds awesome, a lot better then the old surround system, i wanted to hook up a turntable to play through this system. Through reading i got the easist and cheapest way was to get a connect for a line in, then play through the room.  So I got a zp80 cheap through a mate who upgraded, but have discovered it only works through the s1 appIs there a way I can make this work? My other thoughts are getting 2 one sl's to replace the ceilings and use the amp for the turntable Or Buy a port to swap out the zp80Thoughts?

MorningDoes anyone know if the sound quality on my sub would sound better underground or above ground?

Hi got a Sonos 3 is there a way I can connect a turntable to it and if so how many thanks jezza1969

If i have an arc, sub gen3 and 2 one sl can I get a would they work with the Sonos amp if i wanted to connect a non Sonos sup to the amp! Would they all work together? Plus i have theater seats with sound shakers in them that require being hooked to a amplifier  

I’m trying to connect my onkyo system (housing analog cd, phono, aux inputs) so that it provides a single output to the Sonos port…can this be done? 

I'm using a sonos port which is connected to my recordplayer. The Port is connected via a LAN cable to my router (Sonosnet channel 1) and the music has been set to compressed...and is played via multiple One'sStill I'm losing audio; The music sometimes is not played for 10-20 seconds before it starts playing again.Also the sonos s2 app (on my Iphone) states that it can't connect to SonosAny idea how to resolve this? Eventhough sonos is wired, can it have something to do with my wifi?

So I am moving from Arc(Sub) to a stereo setup with Amp and Sub.First of all would like to confirm... The Sub pairs with the Amp wirelessly as with a soundbar, through the app? How does crossover work? Does the Amp detect a 2.1 setup and adjusts a default crossover? If so is it adjustable (70Hz 100Hz etc). Much appreciated. 

I've set my record player up to play through my Sonos with a Sonos Port, but it created a new room in the process. Is this normal? Or can I change it so I just have the record player set up within my only existing room. It works fine, just that I have two rooms now within my Sonos S2 app when I only have one! 

I have a turntable plugged into my Sony stereo amplifier and I wish to plug this into my Sonos port, thus essentially using the amp as a pre amp. Will the RCA output on the back of the amp work for this? I assume I just run an RCA cable from the amp output to the port input and then this will stream to all my Sonos speakers? The Sony amp is the Sony STRDH190.CEK.

Hey everyone, I have an Amp that I use for my computer audio via line-in. This works well, but sometimes the Amp forgets it’s playing when the audio is quiet for a while on YouTube, for example. Is there a setting that can keep the line-in audio alive?

I have 8 Boston Accoustic HSi 270 in ceiling speakers that I am looking at powering with 2 Sonos Amps - i.e. 4 speakers per Amp, wiring 2 Speakers in parallel per channel.  These are 8Ohm speakers and It seems that they rated at 90watts.  Is the power rating of the speakers an issue for this configuration?Many thanks.

Hi All! I am a bit confused and can’t find a clear answer. Can I use a Sono Port to connect my Marantz receiver and use Sonos speaks as satellites in a 5.1 set up. So, if I’m watching a movie, the Marantz handles my bowers and wilkins left, right, and center speakers but it’s synced with the Sonos speakers via the sonos port? will that work? 

Hello,Does anyone have any insight on the possibility of connecting 2 Sonos connect to 1 receiver?  I want to be able to control the volume in different areas while steaming the same music.   Just trying to save some $$$.   I realize the alternative is to buy the new Sonos amp or another receiver but trying to make use of the connects I have.   Thank you for your time.  

Morning all. Hoping I can get some direction on this one please. Got lots of Sonos, all S2 and all amplified to decent in-ceiling speakers. Works a treat, always has.But I’m adding a new room. Essentially a home cinema room with the normal speakers, SW, large TV, AVR etc. I’ve plugged in a new Port via RCA to the SAT I/P.It works but sounds a bit meh.I’m not trying get any cinema type functionality, just good sound, stereo, surround, anything really.Is there a rule of thumb or best practice for settings an AVR to get a decent sound out? It just doesn’t sound great.The AVR itself is old but a solid performer …. A Pioneer VSA-AX10Ai feeding B&W Matrix fronts & rears and a B&W ASW800 sub.  

The MOVE will only connect to WiFi while the rest of the Sonos system connects vis the BOOST.  This begs the question, why use Boost at all and just use WiFi connectivity for the entireSonos system?

I have surround sound for my tv so a Sonos sound bar, sub and a pair of Sonos ones, a play 5 and a one in the kitchen but I’m building an extension and want to fit a pair of ceiling speakers for the TV, I don’t want to use it with anything else other than Sonos equipment, so do I need an amp?

Hi. I just purchased a Pro-Ject T1 turntable for my family for Christmas. It will be in the living room with two Play 5s. How will I connect it so the pair runs in stereo? Do I plug the turntable into one and it will recognize the pair or do I need separate cables for left and right? Just want to make sure I get any necessary cable in had in advance.Thanks!

Hello friends,I’ve been thinking about reworking our living room setup a bit. I would like to get a Beam for our TV and then place two Play Ones/SL/Ikea speakers as  surround sound.  Right now, I have a Sonos Connect: Amp hooked up to some tall Polk speakers. Is it possible to create a dummy load for the Connect:Amp so that I can stream the audio to the surround setup and not burn out the amp?Essentially, I’m trying to make the Connect: Amp more like the Port but without investing in that piece for the time being. This would eliminate the use of the Polk speakers and free up some space in the living room. 

Will an AMP Gen 1 still work with the current SONOS app for basic streaming of music?  I have several speakers connected to the newest Amp, but looking for a less expensive alternative to power the outdoor speakers separately.

I have a new Sonos Amp and 4 Polk Atrium 8 SDI outdoor speakers.  2 will be run at approx 50 ft each and the other. 2 will be approx 150-200 ft.  I want to hook all 4  to the amp (2 on left and 2 on right) and am considering 10 gauge wire due to the extreme distance.  Can I evenfit two 10 gauge wires in the hole in the new banana connectors?

I want to upgrade my system with several ZP120 and ZP 90s with AMPs and PORTs. However my setup is wired in a cabinet and honestly, thinking about rewiring that rack makes me hesitant to upgrade. With that being said, It looks like the power cord input on the AMP looks similar to the ZP120. Are they compatible?

I recently got a new router. My two sonos speakers reconnected to my network but my Connect isn’t found as a device. I can’t figure out how to reconnect it to the system. I’ve tried unplugging and that hasn’t worked. 

From Amp / Port to Arc: Can the Arc play music from analog devices connected to Sonos Amp or Sonos Port? I have a CD player and a turntable which I would like to listen to using the Arc. Is it possible to connect them to Port or Amp and stream the music to the Arc speakers or do I need to get an additional speakers? From Arc to Amp / Port: Can input from the TV going to Arc be streamed to Amp or Port and played over the wired speaker connected to them?Thanks!
