Hi

I have a Rega Planar 1 plus turntable which is connected to the left of a pair of Era 300 speakers. The speakers are set up in a stereo pair (which works fine for streaming) but when playing from the turntable only the left speaker works. I have tried connecting the white cable to the red and the left speaker still works. If I just connect the red cable to the red, or red cable to the white no sound comes out. I have tried another cable so I don’t think this is the issue. I have tried connecting the turntable to the right speaker and this works, but then the left speaker does not work. I have tried setting the Audio Delay under the Line-In settings to MAX, and have also tried setting the Audio Compression setting in the Sonos app to Compressed. I have disconnected the stereo pair and reconnected a few times but no resolution of the problem. I cannot see a balance slider when I look at the room.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks.

All sorted- the helpline person was great. It took about half an hour but we realised the issue was not with the connections but with the speaker which was connected into the line in. It wasn't talking properly to the one which wasn’t playing and was solved with a reboot.

Thanks all.

Huh. I’d have bet money on the cable not being inserted all the way. Ah well, diagnosis at a distance is always hard, I’m glad you got it resolved.
