Using Sonos connect instead of wired speakers in an old audio system

I've purchased a Sonos Connect with the intention of using it to pipe music from my old stereo amplifier to my relatively new Sonos system which is part of my TV system and not connected in any way at all to my old stereo music system. I have discarded my old wired speakers. My simple question is :- do I simply run the analogue stereo wires from my amplfiier directly to Sonos Connect or am I missing something obvious or fatal? Please keep your answer in simple language. I don't want to blow up my Sonos Connect with too great an input.

Kumar. All done and working. Like you say, the amplifier is basically a switching device - hadn’t appreciated that until now. I’m now wondering why I bothered -the only amplifier input I use is the CD player. So I could have wired it directly to connect. Then again, I have a CD player on the main Sonos set up at the tv. Maybe if I ever use my vinyls again -and I havent done so in the last 30 years. Thanks for dragging me into the 21st century!

Quite. As I said earlier on this thread, but you responded by saying that you have 4 sources wired to the amp - where did three disappear to suddenly?!

The other three devices are still there, but, as I said, I really don't use them now.
