When the Era 100 is being used as a surround speaker in a Sonos home theater setup, it disables the line-in feature.

If you want to connect your turntable, you need to add another Era 100 that is separate from the Beam/Era 100s home theater setup or add another Sonos device with line-in like a Port, Era 300, or Five.

Thanks for your swift reply.

Just to clarify, if I added an additional device (eg a Port), would this then allow the turntable to connect to the rest of the home theatre set up (Beam/Era100s) via this device? At least when its not in use by the  phone or tv?

Sorry I’m not familiar with the Sonos system and want to make sure I understand before buying.

Yes, you are correct.  Adding an additional device would be a second Sonos room in your Sonos system.  That second room can play together or separately with your home theatre room.

Thanks all, very helpful

Or, of course, use a third Era or an additional stereo pair of them. Set that up as an additional room. You can then play the turntable as a source in just that additional room, or in just the home theatre room, or both rooms together with in-sync music playing in both rooms.
