Is it true that the Connect:Amp is not compatible with Airplay 2? I bought this device to plug in my Totem Staff speakers but can’t get any music on. I’m using iPhoneX to stream music and Airpplay won’t show the Sonos in the list of available devices.

Having trouble getting audio from turntable onto the other Sonos speakers via Connect. I currently have my turntable hooked up to a Marantz receiver with two bookshelf speakers. Sounds great. I also have an optical cord going OUT from Connect to the optical IN on the receiver. This allows me to hear my streaming music on my Sonos system through the bookshelf. How do I get my turntable audio on to the rest of my sonos speakers? As it stands, I have them connected into the Phono IN on the receiver, so to hear them, I must switch the input from the TV digital (which I use to hear the Sonos system via optical through the receiver and speakers) to Phono. I tried plugging the Turntable RCA directly into the COnnect IN with the hopes that the optical out would allow me to hear it through the system but no dice. Any suggestions?

Hi! I have recently bought a turntable (Rega planar 1), which doesn't have a pre-amp built in. When using an amp (300W), the music sounds overly quiet and squeaky, but just overall cold. Certainly not getting that warm analogue quality. Through out this forum, i've seen posts saying that I should have a pre-amp if my turntable doesn't already have one built in, especially when using a Sonos Connect or Conntect:Amp. Would I still need a pre-amp if I acquire the new Sonos Amp?

Hi there. Can I connect my Beam to the Philips 32PFL7694H/12?? I can't find any info about the specs of the HDMI ports

Will the power cable on the web site for the Sonos Boost also work for the Sonos Bridge???

We are able to inially hear the record on the TRNTBL playing over the Sonos. The problem happens when trying to switch to Pandora and back to TRNTBL. When switching back to TRNTBL with a record playing TRNTBL does not reconnect to Sonos. Sonos shows I’ve selected Line In but continues to play Pandora. I have run a ping test and verified the TRNTBL is staying connected to my WiFi. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone help me.

Hi, May i know when the Sonos connect and Sonos connect Amp launched? Also, when the AMP will be released? Thanks.

Hi ! My Sonos remote control device suddenly after5 years was not running or charging, I bought a new battery, apparently it was charging but when I remove from the charging dock, the screen is getting black (when is charging is doing a low noise). What can it happen? Thanks

The title says it all.

Hi! I searched on the community but the answers are not very clear to me. So I've the following case; I already owned a Sonos Connect AMP but today I bought a new receiver - NAD T 758V3. In the attachment the backside of the NAD. My question is: Is it possible to use the Connect AMP with the NAD? If yes which of the Sonos Connect AMP connections I need to use with the NAD?! 😃

New house— I have speakers built into the living room wall already. I’m just not sure if this is a receiver or not (basically do I need a Sonos connect or sonos connect amp)? Here is a picture of what’s there.

I am not that computer literate so I am probably asking a couple of very dumb questions about reInstalling my Sonos kit. We are moving into a new flat and the router is located in one corner of the main living area. There is one Ethernet socket on the wall opposite. (1) If I connect my Sonos Connect: Amp to the Ethernet socket does this form the necessary connection needed for my Sonos system to work? (2) Ther are 2 Ethernet ports on the Sonos Connect: Amp so if I connect my smart HDTV to the other Ethernet port will this provide a hard wired internet connection for the TV via the Sonos Connect: Amp and / or just TV sound playback through the Sonos Connect: Amp. Thanks for helping as I am not really sure where to start!

Appreciate some advice please. Considering buying a Project essential III phono (with built in pre-amp) and looking for the best way to connect it to my existing sonos set up of 2x play 1 and 1x play 3. I am considering buying a connect OR a play 5. I have considered a preloved play 5 as a way to enhance my existing set up for a similar cost of just the connect. Any opinions on this much appreciated.

I'm not an audiophile, but really like the end-user simplicity of setting up and using the Sonos product line. I would really like to roll Sonos speakers out to all of the rooms in the house, garage, and even in the yard. The current line of products are nice, but most cannot be "hidden" away as a ceiling or landscape speaker can. Are there any plans to release a line of ceiling or landscape speakers?

Is it possible to connect Sonos Play 1 to be the sound for an Apple TV4

Dear all, can I connect my Apple TV to transmit the sound through my Sonos Connect to my speakers? 🆒

Sorry if this has been answered already. I am trying to clarify how airplay 2 volume control works with grouped sonos devices. More specifically: I am thinking of re acquiring a sonos connect after selling mine a while back. I understand that if I group the connect with an airplay 2 enabled Sonos One, I can then use my iphone to airplay music directly to this group. My question is: If I want to control this grouping outside the sonos app, will I be able to use my iphone (through apple music) to control volume separately for the sonos connect and sonos one? or will the particular grouping (Sonos connect + Sonos One) show up as a single volume slider hence not allowing for separate volume control for each device? Many thanks

I have a Audio Technica turntable connected to a Sonos: Connect. It has a built-in phono pre-amp, and I'm wondering if I need to use an external pre-amp. What would I gain?

Analog input How to get sound

I currently have an existing home theatre 5.1 surround sound in wall wired speakers and whole house audio that consist of in ceiling wired speakers in 4 separate rooms (circa 2010). They are are currently run by a receiver that has 5.1 and a switch that allows me to run different media into the other rooms. Now that I am using Apple TV solely (no cable/Fios just internet), I would like to clean up and simplify my system while using the existing speakers. Ideally, I like to be able to play Hulu TV or a movie using 5.1 surround and extend to other rooms, or be able to strictly airplay from my phone to other rooms while someone else is watching Apple TV. Sonos AMP looks promising but doesn't support 5.1 surround with existing wired speakers and do I have to get multiple devices in order to incorporate the whole house audio? Any solution options would be helpful. Thanks!

Has anyone successfully used a Bluetooth transmitter module with their Connect for BT speakers that will occasionally be used outdoors? If so, what product? My goal is to simply extend whatever is being played on my Sonos system to my outdoor roof deck, which is L-shaped and approximately 400 sq ft. The Connect and BT module would reside in the landing just inside the roof deck, which is already confirmed to have sufficient internal signal strength as I have an existing Play 1 in that space which works perfectly. I do not want to use wired speakers due to the complications in layout and home construction, and in reality, I don't want nor can I have loud or full sound on my roof deck, just more of an ambient background thing. I'm fully aware of the limitations and potential gotchas here--the reach of BT to the outside area, latency of what's playing outside via BT, separate sound control of the BT speakers, compromised fidelity etc etc, so in reality I'm just looking for conf

Recently moved and can’t get connect amp to connect

My turntable has a built-in pre-amp which can be turned off if the receiver has an input for the turntable. My belief (which may be incorrect) is that routing the turntable through the phono input on the receiver will generally result in better sound than using the pre-amp in the turntable. In that regard, what is the meaning of this sentence on the Sonos website (https://en.community.sonos.com/music-services-and-sources-228994/using-a-turntable-with-sonos-6769426)?: "Your audio receiver may have a phono input, which means you can wire the turntable directly to the receiver. To pass the analog signal along to Sonos the receiver should have a Tape/CD Out, Rec Out, or Zone 2 Out. (Note: additional configuration may be required to trigger the audio output on the receiver)"? Does this sentence mean that I can use the phono input on the receiver and get the sound to my Play:5 by running a cable to the Play:5 from the receiver's Tape/CD Out, etc.? And, if that is the case, will I

I’m thinking about upgrading my TV to the Sony Bravia AF9 but wondered if anyone knows how this would work with my Playbar? The TV itself has 3.2 surround with three actuators behind the screen and two subwoofers out the side. I’m worried that it’s going to render my Playbar obsolete. I want to know if I can use the TV speakers AND the Playbar (either through WiFi or optical). Can anyone help?

Hi I have been given 3 x zp120's 1 x zp90,1 x br100 and a WD my cloud (no speakers though as they were in the ceiling when my friend sold his house, he's moved in with a music system set up already) Appolagies in advance for my ignorance but can I incorporate these into a surround sound or if that's not possible what's the best way to use these to their full potential? My friend had them installed by a company so isn't much help!!!
