Turntable to ZP80 through Play1 speakers

Yes, that should be okay. You will need to use the S1 App to create a new Sonos Household with the ZP80 and you can attach the turntable to it’s line-in. Note the turntable requires either a built-in pre-amp or (if not) you will need to connect a pre-amp in between.

Then you will need to factory reset the Play:1’s and add these to the S1 HH. They will downgrade to S1. Then you can use the ZP80 line-in as the audio source and play the turntable audio to your speakers.  

Thank you Ken, that is exactly as I’d hoped. When you say a new house hold, do I just allow the S1 app to find the ZP80 once plugged in and follow the instructions to link to the app.  

If you have the S1 App installed already you may need to reset it (or you can delete it completely and get it again from your mobile App Store).
 

On opening the S1 App, after introduction and some advice screens, it will invite you to connect to an ‘existing system’ or create a new system. You need to choose to ‘create a new one’… it will then look for your factory reset ZP80 and create a new Sonos system/Household. 
 

Once the ZP80 is setup and fully working in the S1 App, add all your music services, turntable etc. - you can then go onto factory reset your Play:1’s and add them into this new S1 Household and they will downgrade to S1. When both are installed to S1, you can remove the S2 App as it is no longer required.

Thanks again Ken, perhaps you should work for Sonos, customer services told me this wasn’t possible with a turntable.

Oh dear.

One possible caveat about the proposed plan: some here have reported problems with downgrading an S2 component back to S1. I suggest you set up the S1 household (system) with the ZP80 as outlined, update it to the latest S1 software, then try a reset-and-add on just one Play:1 to begin with. It might be worth playing safe and wiring the ZP and P:1 to the network for this exercise.

The representative may just have got the wrong end of the stick perhaps🤔?... and thought you intended to setup a ‘split’ system with both an S1 and S2 Household. Anyhow I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work under an S1 system only. Let me know how you get on.

I run a pair of Play 1’s which I’ll reset to S1, I’ve already reset them but they won’t add to the S1 app. As you mentioned, I think I need to add them after the ZP80 has created the house hold.

I have another Play 1 in another room, which can stay on S2 as it is really only used for radio and digital music.

I may switch it to S1 if all goes well, but switching between two apps for separate rooms isn’t an inconvenience for me and I only want the vinyl in one room in this instance.

Just to quickly, add you cannot downgrade an S2 device to create a ‘new’ S1 Household. You need an ‘S1 only’ device, like a ZP80 to create the S1 Household first ...and then you can add the factory reset Play:1’s and downgrade them to the ‘existing’ S1 Household. Do them one at a time as @ratty suggests. 

Thanks for confirming that, I’d sort of come to that conclusion and you and @ratty confirmed it, I’ll confirm all done when I sort it all later in the week.

See my edit to the post above about playing safe and wiring the ZP and P:1 whilst attempting to add the latter. Sometimes wireless communication can stumble when the devices are running mismatched versions.
