Purchased a Yamaha turntable and silly me thought it would be just plug and play. It’s a tts303b and I need it to connect to my Sonia Arc which is connected to my LG Tv. Any help please?

That would be an option but it seems to me a lot of money just to connect a turntable. A used gen2 Connect would do just as good a job for much less, if you could find one.

Another possibility would be to use One SLs for your surround speakers and keep the Fives purely for music, including the turntable.

I tried all of those steps with the Sonos guy and still nothing. He said the amp needs a boost or to fire it up

We can faintly hear the music through the turntable

Yeah, all of those settings look correct. I don’t suppose you have a CD player or tuner or something that you could plug in to the Port to test? And/or an amplifier/receiver that you could test the turntable with?

And apologies if this seems obvious, but I’ve seen it happen before: you’ve ensured that the cables are attached to the INPUT on the Port, and not the output?

I really don’t think a phono pre-amp is going to help here; even if the one in the turntable is weak (which seems unlikely) it should be getting an audible signal into the Port.

The sound you’re hearing is just the sound waves created by the needle moving through the record grooves; it’s not an amplified signal.

Unfortunately we don’t have anything else to test it with

Well, I’m stumped. Only other suggestion, and this is a long shot, is to try adjusting the compression and delay settings. That’s helped to solve issues I’ve had in the past when my turntable audio was dropping out:

In Settings, select System and scroll down to Audio Compression, and choose Compressed. Go back to the System settings and select the room with the Port. Scroll down to Audio Delay and set that to maximum delay.

Beyond that I’m out of ideas!
