HI.. i have one room with tv and arc and two play 1s… another room with vinyl., amp, speakers.. is there a way to be able to play the vinyl through the arc etc as well as stream  from the arc system to the analogiue speakerswould a gen 2 connect do the job…. ir do i need a port ? thanks 

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?

Maybe I’m doing something wrong here but here are the steps I seem to need to go through in order to enjoy a nice TV watching experience and a nice vinyl listening experience. Am I missing anything here or is this the way it is. Right now, it take about 5 minutes of tinkering to switch modes. Note that I prefer to listen to music without the Beam, as I like a traditional left/right channel with a sub.  I have 2 100s, a Sub and a Beam. (Upgrades to 500s will come later) Starting in TV mode and wanting to listen to a record:Remove the Surrounds from the “living room” room.  Remove the Sub Move the Sub to one of the 100s Open the Line-in source and make sure the Music group is selected (this has the two 100s and sub)If I want to then start watching TV:Open the Living room Add the Sub Add the SurroundsAny advice or commiseration is appreciated.  

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

Hi Just changed our TV and unfortunately it does not have a headphone Jack like the previous TV had.  To allow the TV to work with the ZP100 I have had to use a HDMI to RCA converter.  This works Ok apart from when the TV is off I am getting noise out of the ZP100 speakers and looking at the ZP100 via the iOS app it is showing as still receiving a signal.  The HDMI to RCA converter is powered from the TV via a usb outlet and powers off when the tv goes into standby mode, unfortunately the only way I can get the ZP100 to ignore the “noise” on the autoplay input is to disconnect the RCA output from the converter.  I’ve tried adjusting the autoplay input level but this does not solve the issue. Any body got any ideas how to solve this issue please as ZP100 worked fine with the previous TV.

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

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! 

Hi,just purchased era 300 in order to replace SL one mounted on the wall.since I would like to keep the same position I would like to get feedback on the below wall location:Distance from the floor  ~2 metersDistance from the ceiling  ~1 metersDistance between both era ~3 meters I understand that the best way is to mount them in upside down.Any feedback if this should be ok? Any concern I should take in account?thanks in advance,  

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?
