Does anybody know how best to connect and set-up a Panasonic Viera LED tv (TX-50DX700B) to a sonos connect?

Great thanks. Could it work with a HDMI (arc) to RCA converter? I already have a converter.
That TV also has a headphone socket. With the right cable you could go straight from the headphone out (presumably 1/8" stereo) to the Connect (2xRCA). It would mute the TV speakers, but this is generally desirable because the Connect introduces a slight delay relative to the TV speakers.
Cheers, Peter.

Good point; the question I have is why? I can think of two possibilities. Inferior headphone DAC, but that would mean the sound in headphones would be noisy too. Or impedance mismatch, hence possibly overdriving a non-headphone input such as on a Connect. This could be managed by turning down the TV volume, but perhaps that degrades the S/N. It might be worth the OP trying this anyway - it's the simplest solution (if the sound is acceptable).
