I would like to share an idea for a new Sonos function. >> direct (surround) receiver control. << In my living room I have a (surround) receiver where a my Sonos CONNECT is a music source for my receiver. To get Sonos music in my livingroom, I need to turn on the receiver and select the correct line input. And for controlling the volume I need to walk to the receiver and turn the Volume knob. My feature request is: Implement by TCP/IP - LAN control of my receiver. My receiver (Onkyo) and many others (brands) are controllable by LAN. So when I select the living room on my Sonos controller, the receiver automatic will turn on and select the right input source. And that volume control will directly control my Amp/receiver instead of the Connect. Setting this up should not be very difficult, in the advanced setting of the Sonos Connect zone, ad this selection. Could look like: Select brand, select type of receiver, select input source. Optional set max volume ( I have power full amp & speakers and some times I accidentally select the wrong room, and In the bathroom I don't hear the living room..) Support for the global brands would be great, like Marantz, Sony, Yamaha, NAD, Denon, Onkyo and others. For me it would be a reason to buy a new receiver. And I don't have to explain it to my dear wife what she needs to do to get music in the living room. Looking forward to hear from Sonos
