My set up is an arc, sub mini and era 300 as surrounds, plus a play one in two other rooms.
I think k it would be good to be able to use the era300 as Bluetooth receivers even if in surround mode. I have no way to play from my record player in the living room but the room is full of Sonos speakers! Could the surrounds not receive a Bluetooth signal and distribute it to the other speakers on the network. They could continue to work as surrounds
just a suggestion

You could purchase a Sonos Port and designate the Arc (or other Sonos speaker) as the “AutoPlay” room. *

* You could alternatively purchase an Era 100 and connect the turntable to it via the Sonos proprietary line-in dongle and then group-in the Arc and/or other Sonos speakers
** Turntable must have a built-in pre-amp or you must purchase a 3rd party pre-amp to sit between the Turntable and Port or Era 100

Thanks for the reply. My point is that I already own Bluetooth compatible components, albeit there were bought to be surrounds. It seems a pity that then cannot be used to connect my turntable via Bluetooth without reconfiguring the surround system. Not a dealbreaker by any means but I’d rather not have to buy more equipment just to play a Bluetooth source
This may sound strange however another poster purchased a BT turntable but was unaware that it could only receive a BT signal to be heard through its attached speakers as opposed to sending the audio created by vinyl. Therefore does your Turntable send audio?
+18The way Sonos is designed means the 5Ghz direct link between surrounds and soundbar (or Amp) is one way, not two way - either because the link does not work that way or the soundbar is not equipped to handle incoming streams. This is not an easy fix.
