Unable to connect my sonos port to a Denon-29F turntable, through a yamaha receiver (turntable does not have a pre-amp). Hoping to use the port to play my turntable through Five and Move speakers throughout the house.

I have a turntable, an old Cambridge A500 amp and a Sonos port. I want to play through an Era300 but not hard wire it. is this a simple set up?

Hi everybodyBlack friday is coming up and I would really like to get stuck into some Sonos products. Initially, I have to base it around my Project T1 turntable. I have the phono box E BT, so Bluetooth connectivity shouldn't be a problem. I need something that can start me off but can play a part in a set up for the future. Also one more question, my experience with wireless BT speakers is that they fizzle out quite fast, tbf that was Sony and JBL quality so I am assume Sonos is better...? Because I do need it to make to my ultimate set up for when I move out. Is it safer to go something that can plug in, or is that living in the past?Cheers for reading and would love to hear any suggestions.

We have a Sonos Roam and have successfully connected it to our Sony turntable. We wanted a better speaker so we got a Move 2. It will pair with the turntable but it wont play sound. The Sony needs A2DP compatible BT speakers to work. I can’t find any info that says which of the higher quality Sonos speakers are A2DP compatible. Thank you! 

I have a new pair of the Sonance Sonos in-ceiling speakers and a Sonos Amp and am about to do an install. Before I started cutting holes in my ceiling, on a table, I connected the Amp to the speakers as test. Best way to describe the sound is, it’s like the music is coming from my iPhone. It’s super flat with virtual no mid or low range.I double checked speaker wire connection and tried on two different amps, also listened individually to each speaker and both sound the same. Is something magical going to happen when they are in the ceiling and I use true play or is something wrong with these?

I’ve hooked my new Port up to my old Scott receiver/amplifier and, thanks to the advice and wisdom of the community, I am able play CDs through the Port as well as use the “old” systems speakers with my Sonos speakers (Tape In/Tape Out/ Monitor).  But, I’d like to be able to play the AM/FM from my receiver through the Sonos system.  So far, this has eluded me.  Can anyone suggest any options?

Hello again, I have a Bose Acoustic Wave Radio/CD system and would like to use the speakers on the Bose with my Sonos 1 system. I have a Sonos1 Amp and have plugged the output to bose input, with no sound and tried sonos input to Bose input with no sound. I set the AMP up with the APP and can see the AMP in Sonos. any idea what I am doing wrong? 

Hello everyone,I'm currently facing a couple of challenges with 13 Sonos Ports and would greatly appreciate any advice or solutions you might have. Remote Configuration: I need to set up these Sonos Ports in a remote location, which is a 3-hour drive from my current location. I'm wondering if there's any way to configure them remotely. I have a Windows and Linux machine available at the site and an ESXi setup. Is there a method to perform the initial activation remotely without physically pressing the button on the devices OR without using the phone app (asking the client to press the button)? I have the codes on the back of the devices. Network Segmentation and Issues: In my last setup, I had to ensure that these Sonos Ports did not interact with each other. To achieve this, I created 13 separate VLANs on a Fortigate 81F, propagated them through Unifi USW Pro 48 PoE switches, and set up individual access points for each room on a U6 LR AP, each containing a single VLAN. Although it

Is it possible to connect a Media Streamer such as an Eversolo DMP A-6 or A-8 to the Sonos Amp through the HDMI IN to play the music over the connected speakers on the AMP?

Hello Everybody,Im new to the Community But  I’ve been using Sonos for a long time now.I have a Sound Bar, Subwoofer, 2 Sonos Play 1, I am using Sonos S2 app to listen to my Music.I recently bought a Sonos Connect to hookup to my Receiver and it requires s1 Software to hookup to all my Home Speakers. I tried pushing the Play/Speaker and Volume + so the s1 can find the unit. The app said I have to use S2 App. S2 cannot fine the Sonos Connect.  Is there anything I’m doing wrong here in my Setup?I appreciate all your input--Thank You in advance.Rod  

I have decided to connect a CD player to one of my connect:amp devices.  Are there any suggestions about what to buy or specific things to watch out for when purchasing and connecting a CD player?  Thanks

do in ceiling / architectural speakers connect to the amp via wi-fi or they need to be hardwired? 

I have a gen 2 connect that will not join my network. When I try a factory reset it does move the the blinking orange but never to green. While blinking orange I can detect it on my S2 app but when I try to add it, it always fails when it tells me to push the play/pause button to add it with the message  of “We didn’t detect a button press from the Connect”

I am going to be using a Sony STR-AZ7000ES receiver in a true 13.2 surround sound setup, with a Sonos port lined into 1 of the 3 @ 12V trigger inputs on the Sony. I mostly work in networking over that of A/V, but still do a ton of A/V work throughout the year. That said, sorry if this is a novice question, but what type of cable is used to connect the Sonos Port to respective input on the Sony receiver? It looks to me like it’s just a 3.5mm cable? Or is it something else?Thanks!

I have 2 Sonos amps that are attached to indoor and outdoor speakers only, not my tv, just passive speakers.  My problem is when I turn off my tv with either the tv or cable box remotes it also turns off my amps.  So I cannot turn off the tv to listen to music!  How can I stop the amps from turning off when I turn off my tv?  I have tried to reprogram my Comcast remote, but it didn’t work.  My Samsung remote also turns off the amps.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a Zonebridge BR100 & a Connect ZP90, this was working fine up until about a week ago when my Router died and I had to replace it.The new router is a TP Link Archer AX72 and is working great for everything else. As soon as I connect the ethernet cable to the ZoneBridge my internet speeds in the house plummet from around 40Mbps to less than 200-300Kbps, the TP-Link Router tells me that a new device has connected but nothing can be found on the Sonos App, the Network lights are flashing on the ZB. I have reset the ZB and the App but still no devices can be found. As soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable from the ZB my internet speeds in the house go back to normal.I don’t know what else to try.Any advice gratefully received!! 

I purchased a home recently and I'm trying to understand the existing setup and how I can integrate a turntable. There's a receiver that connects to multiple sets of speakers throughout the house and then there are 5 Sonos Ports, one for each zone. If I connect a turntable to the input on one of the ports, will that allow me to play it across any zones like I can with the app? Or will I only get output to the zone controlled by the port I connect to? Also, do I need an additional preamp or anything? I'm a total idiot when it comes to this stuff. Thank you!

When looking at my Wi-Fi network devices, I never see my Sonos subwoofer. Does it connect to the arc via  a sonos WiFi network?

I use a Playbase, Sub, and two Five speakers for listening to music and for home theatre viewing. I would like to add a turntable to this system to listen to my vinyl collection. Given that the system functions through wi-fi, is there a way to do this?

I have an s1 system with two connect amps. I just purchased a move 2. My understanding is that I need to remove the s1 devices first, using the s1 app. Support docs say to go to settings - system tools - remove products. This option does not exist on either my android or iPad s1 apps.  When I open the Sonos app (the newer one) I get stuck in an endless loop of trying to connect to my s1 products.Any ideas on what to do?edit: sorry, I just read that I need to factory reset the s1 products.

Hello, I have multiple Sonos SL speakers and a Sonos Five speaker (All hardwired). I am experiencing them falling offline randomly when listening to Spotify Premium. I notice the speaker will no longer show in the “Connect to device” list. I then reboot and the speaker shows up again. Any ideas? Please note I have replaced the router and switch with no change. Thank you in advance for any pointers. 

Hi all,I feel like I am going crazy so I am reaching out for some help from kind internet strangers.I recently purchased an Era 300 which I have been using to play records via bluetooth. This has been a pretty flawless experience so I decided to get a small bluetooth cd player as well. However, after trying three separate cd players I have had zero luck getting the 300 to play music from them. Each device will successfully connect and show up in the sonos app as connected under the bluetooth menu, but once they connect no music actually plays. All three CD players work with other smaller bluetooth speakers I have lying around the house so I don't think they are the issue. I know the bluetooth on the 300 works because of my record player, but there seems to be a specific issue of playing CDs over bluetooth and I am not smart enough to figure out the issue.Is this an issue anyone else has heard about? Am I missing something obvious? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have three Sonos speakers (two Play: 1 and one Play: 3). Yesterday I bought the Pro-Ject E1-BT turntable (bluetooth).If I wanted to listen the music of my new turntable on my Sonos speakers, I would have to buy the basic Sonos Connect or the amplified model (Sonos Connect Amp)? Thank you,Andrea

Hi Guys I can pair my Sonos Era 100 to the Blusound NODE, but no audio, no sound yet it pairs to the Sonos Roam and works fine. Occasionally I like to send music from the streamer and use Sonos as the bluetooth speaker.Any ideas why the ERA doesn’t work and the ROAM does ? I can bluetooth from my iPhone, iPad for things like YouTube audio, but not the Blusound app etc.. regards Dennis

I am trying to setup my Theater room where my 98% of usage will be of watching movies and rather than going with a traditional setup wondering if i could do away with Sonos Arch + Sub + anything else (I am looking for surround sound more than Atmos) as most of the streaming services only support surround sound for now.Planning to setup a Screen size of 135 - 150 in Projector screen Will I need a AC Receiver If i have to use a sonos with a Epson 3800/4400/5050B ?My room is going to be a closed room with dimensions 14 x 19 x 11.Will Sonos Arc and Sub version 3 work with this size of a room ?
