Running surround for TV and also Stereo for turntable?

Help please: I have the Arc, a Sub and 2x Fives for my surrounds in my 'Living Room' zone (Arc+Sub+LS+RS) connected to my television.

Can I switch the 2 Fives for use in stereo with my turntable (yes, I have a preamp) so I can listen to vinyl as well (not at the same time)?

Thanks in advance.

When the Fives are being used as surrounds, it disables the line-in ports. So in order to connect your turntable, you would have to unbond the Fives as surrounds from the Arc first and then create a stereo pair with the two Fives.

Likely, there is a physical issue with the turntable.

As a quick check, make sure that the cables are fully seated.

You can use the SONOS balance control to identify L/R.

I solved it… bought two One SL’s for the surrounds and moved the Fives for a dedicated stereo pair on the turntable.
