Does anyone have experience / knowledge of connecting 3 pairs of speaker to one Sonos Amp? Sonos say 2 pairs is fine but suggeste that the community would know more about 3 pairs. Thanks

Hello, I recently purchased a record player (with built in amp) and a sonos connect so that I could play vinyl through my sonos set up. That works like a charm, but I’d like to boost the sound in a room that doesn’t have a sonos speaker (yet) and I wondered if I could hook up an amp to the current set up so that music plays through both the sonos speakers and the standalone amp/speaker set up simultaneously? I’ve played around a bit, but had no luck getting sound to both sonos and the standalone speakers. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.

I have been a member of the community for many years but had to re-register when I lost access to an email account. The registration page asks you to tick the Sonos products you have from a list, but does not include any Zone or controller products e.g. ZP100, ZP90, Zonebridge, CR100 etc.. Why is this? Is this an indication that Sonos is going to continue the trend it started with the CR100 and spike all of these products such that they no longer work? I cannot think of any other explanation and it would certainly be in character to try to force earlier customers to purchase new hardware.

Just ordered a Connect to use with my 8000's. New to the forum. Anybody using this combo?

If I have a record player plugged into a decent amp then into the Connect do I get a better sound quality than if I plugged the record player straight into the Connect. Or does the amp built into the sonos speaker take priority over whatever is plugged into it. ie if I had a super duper amp would it be a waste plugging that into the connect or should I just get a cheapo amp. I will also drive a cd player and airport express and an arcam miniblink for bluetooth through the amp into the Connect. Is there a cap at which it makes no difference what kind of amp you have running all those bits through as the Sonos PLay 5 amp will max out and only play sound quality of a certain level.

Are there any wi-fi enabled amps that are sonos compatible, i.e that don’t require a Connect to wirelessly speak to a speaker?

I've got some older Sonos gear (4 ZP100s + 2 CR100s) that is working fine, but I'd love to upgrade to newer stuff. Does Sonos (or any retailer) have any kind of trade-in program for older units? Or am I stuck trying to sell it on CL/Ebay or recycling it?

I have a Sonos Sub, a Sonos bar, a Sonos connect. I also have a Marantz HD-CD1 connected to a Marantz HD-Amp. I want to connect all so I can listen my Marantz system using my Sonos speakers. Is this possible?

I have my Connect running to my Yamaha receiver and pushing Martin Logan fronts and center. I have an extra optical cable and an RCA (red/white). Do you guys have thoughts on what will produce the best quality sound? As a sidenote, I'm also needing the cable that will provide the quickest signal...as has been covered before, I can only use my Connect in DIRECT mode when playing my Ones in conjunction with my main system that is using the Connect. Otherwise there is a small but noticeable delay.

Can I use a Sonos Boost to extend the range of my Sonos Net but without it being the component that is connected directly to the router? I have a Sonos Connect attached to the router near the front of the house and want to extend the signal to a Play5 at the end of the garden. If I place a Sonos Boost at the back of the house (halfway between the Sonos Connect and the Play5), will it work?

I understand that the Connect is intended to be used with an external amp. My question is, how? Is the idea to: a) Allow me to play content streaming through the Sonos network (iTunes, Rdio, Spotify) through my existing AVR; or b) Allow me to stream audio from my AVR-connected peripherals (AppleTV, turntable) wirelessly to Sonos speakers; or c) Both of the above? Since most of the terminals are outputs, I'm guessing the answer is (a)… but then what is the RCA input intended for?

I have a PLAYBASE connected to my tv and a CONNECT:AMP connected to my in ceiling speakers. However, since my router is on a different floor, both SONOS components can only using the wireless internet connection in my house. Also, the CONNECT:AMP is not located close the the tv, since the in wall speaker connection is far away from the tv. Therefore I can not physically connect these two systems. So, while I can get the tv to play on the PLAYBASE, I can’t get it on both. Is there any way to get the tv to play on both the PLAYBASE and the in wall speakers without moving my router (which causes other issues)?

Will Sonos every produce a component like the Squeezebox Transporter? This was such a great component and I really want something on the shelf with a display and basic controls. I don’t want a smartdevice only interface and I have ZERO interest in voice control.

I'm sure there are numerous topics that have my answer, or at least very similar situations that I could probably come to a reasonable conclusion, but I want to ask my specific situation so I get an idea before making some purchases. I bought an Akai BT500 bluetooth turntable and two Bose Soundtouch 10 speakers. Long story short, those speakers wouldn't connect. So, I got talked into buying two Play3 speakers and a CONNECT. I have my turntable plugged into the CONNECT and able to listen to my two Play3 speakers in different rooms just fine. I understand this defeats the purpose of having a bluetooth enabled turntable. However, my question is, if I were to decide to make an investment in the Playbar and a some Play1 speakers, etc to give my living room surround sound from my TV, would I be able to connect either my turntable or my TV setup (this one seems more impractical and improbable) to the CONNECT via bluetooth with some sort of bluetooth adapter, transmitter, or receiver? The r

Hi folks Do you know if i when i connect my turntable to my Sonos Connect line in and my old speaker to the line out, the Connect bypass the signal or it converts analog signal to digital and back to analog? Thanks Regards

Longtime user wondering if its time to sell my components before they're worthless

I have a connect:amp hooked up to 4 outdoor speakers. this works great... the issue I have is when I hook my outdoor tv up through the line out it won't let me turn the speakers up all the way and volume goes in and out.....how do I fix this

The regular sonos connect has an optical connection, which I believe I could use towards the LG soundbar. However, I’ve got a sonos connect amp, which I don’t understand if I can get to work together with my TV. Does anyone know if by using any kind of adapter or anyhow be able to connect the two units.

I have Sonos through out the house. Some run though a Savant amp and some through Connects. I am trying to add a sub to a room that is not using a Connect. It is not allowing me and says that a sub can only be used in a room with a Play or Connect Amp. Really? Is there a work around? Thank you in advance.

When I add second SONOS connect one of them starts lagging and music is skipping a few seconds randomly. Music source is MP3 coming from a NAS. NAS should be providing enough bandwidth, I tried playing different MP3s on each Sonos. Any ideas? Devices are on gigabit network. I am assuming it is a problem with Sonos, either conflicting because of 2 connections or it cannot pull off the MP3s fast enough. Please advice, need this working ASAP.

I have a Sonos Connect Amp to which I would like to connect headphones. As you know, the Amp does not have have a headphone jack nor does it have output jacks to connect a dedicated headphone amp. I tried coming off of the sub out port but that appears be be dedicated to sub. Only heard low end bass in my headphones. I could get a Sonos Play 5 which has headphone jack but this option seems unnecessary as I already have speakers in the room. I could get a Sonos Connect because it has output jacks but this also seems like overkill because I would have 2 zones in one room. Neither of these options are my first choice. Am I missing an option? Thank you

Can I put a Sonos 1 Alexa speaker in my bathroom and connect it to the extractor power source? I have Sonos throughout the house and garden.

Hi We moved into a new house and the guys that set our tv onto the wall connected our play 5 to our tv which sounded great! Today I connect all our play 1 & 5 on the sonos controller so we can listen to our own music / radio but now the tv has lost the sound through the sonos 5? I'm not very good with this kind of things, is there anyone out there that can help me in very simple terms how to get the sonos r 5 to play the sound from the telly again? Help please!!!

Can I connect my Paradigm 110 powered subwoofer to the Sonos Connect Amp Sub output?

I want to start adding Sonos speakers to my home theater set-up and would like your advice. I have a Denon AVR-1912 receiver and a Sony Bravia LCD TV. I would like to replace my center speaker and two front speakers while continuing to use my "wired" rear speakers and subwoofer. I am hoping that I can accomplish this by purchasing a pair of PLAY:1 speakers, a Connect and a Playbar. Will this work? Will there be a lag? Do I need additional components? Thank you for your advice!
