Hi, I have had a Sonos system for around 13 years, I use a Bridge and have 2 Connect Amps. The speakers are ceiling mounted and wired directly to the Amps. (The speakers are not Sonos).the system has always worked well however the Bridge has recently stopped powering up. So, I have purchased a Boost as thought this would be a suitable replacement. However I’m having issues connecting the Boost to the Amos as the Boost wants to use the Sonos S2 app and the Amps S1.should they be compatible or am I flogging a dead horse?? I don’t really want to shell out for 2 new amps as they are perfectly fine.  thanksPete 

I have a Sonos play base + 2 play 1s under one room, and then a separate set of move speakers. I have a project audio turntable that is connected to a Sonos port to stream vinyl. Recently I have been experiencing significant cutout issues with the playbase. The audio will drop for up to 10 seconds before resuming. If I am streaming to both the play base and the move speakers, the audio only cuts out on the play base, so I know it’s not the port causing the issue. But it is making listening to records impossible.  has anyone experienced this? The device is about 6 years old so I’m unsure if it’s reached end of life, but I experience zero Audio issues when watching Apple TV with it. 

I’m deciding how to link my turntable into my Sonos system. I have two options, I can either link directly into my Era 100s via RCA and Analog to digital converter, or I can connect to the RCA imput into my Sonos Amps.  Will connecting directly to the Sonos amp have a higher quality analog to digital conversion than the ADC connector to the Era 100s? 

I have a BR100 bridge and the power light is not coming on.I have checked power source and all good.it has a uk three pin plug on the power cable and looks like it is none repairable, I can’t change the fuse.any ideas?

I just got the Audio Technica AT LP60X and I was wondering if the Sonos Era 100 would be able to work with it? As it has a line in function an adaptor that I have. But the Audio Technica came with a RCA cable ,Red and White split with a 3.5mm end to go into the AT LP60X. My main question is would I be able to use a duel end 3.5mm cable to hook up my AT LP60X into the Sonos Era 100 with its line in adapter?

Hi all,My Sonos Connect box stopped responding with no lights on the front panel.  I replaced the power supply (via eBay) and eventually managed to get it set up with SonoS S1 iPhone app, but I cannot get my other SonoS boxes to connect. The rest of my system consists of 3 x Connect:Amp and 3 x Play-3.  I’m trying to add the first Connect:Amp and have turned the power off to all the other boxes.  I would prefer to use wired connections for all the boxes as we have something interfering with the Sonos wifi signals for about 6 hours each day, and I want to avoid any potential problem with WiFi booster discs.Here are the detailed steps I’ve carried outperformed a factory reset on the Connect:Amp box (by holding down the mute and vol+ buttons when plugging in). powered down the Connect:Amp and turned it back on.  Light starts by flashing white, and then the settles on a slow flashing green mute button on my iPhone SonoS S1 app, I go to System / Add Product.  “Searching for your product” -

Hi all, I have my Pioneer VSX 923  that connect to my phonograph.Now I want to connect this receiver to sonos speakers.This is possible? Which sonos speaker should I buy? 

Hello,We just upgraded our turntable to an audio technica bluetooth.  We have 2 Sonos one and 2 sonos one SL.  I understand the Sonos one does not have bluetooth, but can we connect the Sonos one SL to the turntable via Bluetooth? And if so, how? We tried the holding the bluetooth button until the ping sound, then setting the turntable to bluetooth connect, but they will not find each other.  We upgraded to the SL with this last pair because we wanted to go wireless with the turntable.Thanks 

 "Lost sound from Connect to Denon receiver to listen to music on external B&W speakers. Through multiple contacts with Sonos, I was told my Connect was malfunctioning. Consequently, I ordered a Port to replace the Connect. I still have no sound. Anyone got a fix for me? ".

Just purchased a Rega Plana2 and connected it to a Riaa amplifier and then to a sonos five. I have 2 fives steropaired. My problem is that only the speaker which has the 3,5 mm cable connected gives soundWhat could i do?Br david

Hello,  After having done renovation works at our house, I tried to install my favorite speakers again in each room. All is going well when I connect via the laptop (which is connected via Wifi), but when I want to control SONOS via my iphone app (all updated) - it doesnt show all speakers, has problems with finding the system at all, or does not push my actions to the system. Any help?

I have a 3 Sonos connect system with an AMP and a Bridge from 2012. I have a bad Connect I believe. But not seeing any new units to purchase. Is there a replacement for the Connect?Brad 

Every time except for one Artist I get the error message when trying to play music. Unable to play xxxxxxx cannot connect to \\xxxxxxxx because the server cannot be found.My WIFI is 1GB and having no other issues. Thanks, Brad

I use Series 1 Sonos products in 4 rooms. I have a Sonos 3, I use a Sonos amp and i have two Sonos Connects interfacing with two separate amplifiers both with in built DAC’s . One of the Connect’s has stopped functioning and needs replaced. I currently use the optical connection in the Cyrus DAC 8 . My question is can I drop in the replacement Port product or will this require two different apps to work my system- one Series One and one Series 2? 

I am now connected to Sonos 2 app and all works well except my external cd multiplayer because it was through Connect:AMP but now says only works with Sonos 1 but I cannot see a replacement, any suggestions I would be grateful Moderator edit: Changed Connect to Connect:AMP and Sonos 2 to Sonos 1 for accuracy

apologies if this has been asked many times but i’m struggling to find an answer even having read multiple messages i have 2 x sonos move and 2 x sonos one speakers we have a Marley bluetooth turntable and can only connect 1 speaker. do we need a different turntable or something else to play a turntable through all the speakers? 

I just got buy first Sonos Amp and it looks like I am limited to my two main speakers based on the connection on the back of the Amp. So the Base, Midrange and two Tweeters will require another two Amps.  Does this sound right?

If I use a single era 100 speaker as my connection point for a turntable, can I play in all rooms on my system?

Hi I recently had to disconnect my Sonos connect amp. Upon reconnecting I just get a green flashing mute button. Any ideas

Hi guys,I own a turntable (with built in pre-amp), third part speakers (also with a pre amp) and have recently got Sonos. I bought a port because I want to be able to play the turntable music in other rooms.I know i can simply plug in the port line-in to the turntable so the RCA plugs and it plays around the house) but then not over the third party speakers.Is there a way to have the third party speakers still play the record while the Sonos speakers plays it around the house? I thought I’d be able to plug the port into the pre amp on the third party speakers but it doesn’t work. i can’t work it out. cheers

I’m looking for a new set of speakers for my Sonos Amp.  The amp says speakers should be at least 125W for 8 ohm speakers, and at least 200W for 4 ohm speakers.  The R3 Metas are 4 ohms nominal.  110 db max output, 15-180w amp requirements.  Will there be any issues with this setup?

Hi! I connected my Safa retro KT-3001 to Era 100 via the RCA line and adapter.I tried to understand if this model has a built in preamp with no success.Now that I connected the sound sounds ok, with about the same quality as with the built in speakers of the turntable.When I play the same song from spotify the sound is so much nicer!Now, I wonder if it’s because of the turntable itself, or do I miss a preamp? 

Hi,I have 4x zp120 amps.My booster is hard wired in to the router. 2x zp120 amps are in the same storage cupboard as the booster - no issues with connectivity.2x zp120 amps are in a cupboard further away. They are both stacked on top of one another. 1 of the amps has connected to my network. The other won’t connect. I have tried doing a factory reset (4 times). I have also tried resetting my router & booster.These ideas aren’t working.If connect these 2 amps together via Ethernet cables, would that help me? Thinking that the one struggling to access the network could then piggy back on to the one that is successfully on the network??!Thoughts, help, comments are all welcome!

Hi,I had a Sonos Boost connected to my router with a system of a Play 3, a 2nd Gen Play 5 and 2 One SL’s. These all worked together perfectly. A couple of weeks ago, we had some works done at home which meant that everything had to be unplugged and disconnected. I set the system up again last week but the Boost refuses to work. The power light is on and it’s connected directly to our router as before (which is working fine) but it’s not being recognised by my app. I’ve even performed a factory reset, but the light just flashed green without ever connecting. I replaced my old Play 5 with a stereo pair of Fives and they work just fine, as do my two One SL’s. The Play 3 seems to be having the same issue as the Boost insofar as it isn’t connecting.My question is, do I still need the Boost or is it now an obsolete piece of equipment? I’ve actually unplugged it and packed it away and my system continues to work, so I guess it’s not needed. Same question regarding the Play 3. I know this is a
