Port/Play 5s

I have a turntable that I want to play over my pair of Play 5s. Bought a Port, plugged in and it's only playing over one Play 5, but other sources still play as paired. What am I doing?

Built in preamp. It was using the Port as the Room instead of the Play 5s that was the problem. Works great now

That’s strange. Having the Port play its own Line-In, grouped with a Play:5 pair, should have played both channels as normal. Only if the Play:5s were unpaired could one work and the other not.

You need a pre-amp between the TT and the Port. It can be outboard or built into the TT. After correct setup you would designate the stereo paired Play 5’s (or any Sonos...either single or stereo paired) as the auto play room.
