Hi guys! I have a question that I couldn’t figure out searching the web or reading the manual. Would appreciate any help.   In short I’m wondering if I can use the Sonos Amp as just a power amp. The use case would be to hookup the Sonos Amp to my turntable and put a tube preamp in between the two. Have a wonderful PrimaLuna preamp that I’d like to continue using.   To my knowledge it has mostly been possible to bypass the preamp in integrated amplifiers. Might even be quite common practice to use a integrated amp as just a power amp. Can this be done with the Sonos Amp?

Can Move be used in a sauna?

Is there such a thing as a “Modern” Sonos Connect?  Correct me if I’m wrong (wouldn’t be the first time or the last) but weren’t there new Connects still being sold just last year?  With the 5 year support rule, it would seem that there was an upgrade somewhere in the timeline to make the Connects modern.  If this is true, what would I look for on the label to designate a modern Connect?

Good afternoon, I recently purchased a Rega Planar 1 Plus turntable with built in phono stage, I’m trying to play it through my Sonos system through a ZP90 connect. Sonos has recognised the ZP90, but the vinyl won’t play through the system!!! any help would be greatly appreciated.

Much needed help.  I currently have the following components (listed below) and cannot seem to figure out  if there is ANY way possible to make an HDMI Arc connection such that I receive true Dolby Atmos sound from my Sonos ARC soundbar via any component that I would choose to use (i.e. Apple TV (4k), UHD Blu Ray, Playstation 4-see below).  If I cannot achieve Atmos utilizing my current setup then would you please advise which (if any) additional component(s) I would need to add in order to achieve Atmos in a projector environment.  Here is my current list of components (I am currently connecting all to the Sonos ARC via Optical audio out on my HDMI Matrix Switch): Sonos Arc (connected to the HDMI Matrix switch via optical audio adapter), A Sonos Sub, and two Play:1’s for surround Orei 4K HDMI Matrix 4X2 Switch (UltraHD with ARC Supports yo to 4K @ 60Hz and 1080P Arc EDID) BenQ HT2050A Projector (connected to the OUT of the HDMI Matrix Switch-it, of course, does not have HDMI Arc)

How does one reset the new Port. I have seen no info on this? Thanks

Can someone explain to me how I play the BBC Sounds app on an iPhone through a pair of Sonos One speakers?

Hi there, I was wondering what’s the proper way to tune the room when you have two sets of speakers in the same room. I’ve got Play 1’s in corners of my Kitchen. I’ve combined these to two stereo pairs and done Trueplay tuning for both. This is not bad, but is there a way to connect 4 speakers and true play them so that all of them would work in… ahem… concert together?

Hi, my living room is about 25m x 15m, and currently i have two Sonos One speakers in it. The sound is great, perfect really.. But there are slight chnages to the audio levels as i walk around the room. I really want to feel like I'm just blanketed by sound while laying on my sofa. I was considering buying another pair of Sonos Ones and hanging all four speakers from the corners of the room, basically making two L/R stereo pairs... But I'm wondering if this is overkill. I'm not interested in making my music super loud, just want it to be fuller.    Thanks    Thanks     

I have a new Sonos arc, sub, play 1 surrounds, yet I have no idea what sort of sound is coming out of my Sonos system.   it would be really helpful in the Sonos app to have the sound type indicated. I’m not sure why this isn’t the standard - really frustrating and poor in my view. I very other surround system on the market will let you know if Dolby is coming out of the speakers.        

Hi everyone, I just installed my Sonance outdoor speakers powered by the Sonos amp which will be able to provide the sound for my outdoor TV.  I have a fire pit that is a little bit away from where the TV is but in plain view of the TV. I wanted to know if I bought a Sonos move would I be able to pair it with my amp to here the sound of the TV so I don’t have to blast the outdoor speakers to loud that my neighbors will complain? 

I just upgraded to S2 and made a couple room groups, but typo’d and mis-selected some speakers. Is there any way to edit and/or delete a room group in the S2 app (Android or Windows)?

Is the wallmount for the Playbar and the Arc the same?

Will there be a new Windows app for S2? Will the current Windows app still work if I upgrade to S2?

I had an order in with John Lewis which I hadn’t received confirmation on… after calling this is now showing out of stock so cancelled order to look elsewhere for a launch day delivery. Looks like the launch has been pushed back a week to the 19th June??

I have multiple devices from multiple manufacturers that support the Amazon Alexa Drop In feature, will the Sonos One be getting this feature soon?

Does anyone know the bitrate that the new sonos radio curated playlists, ie the new Thom Yorke one, are streaming at? Why can't sonos just add a bitrate to the player and save having to email support all the time! Its such an omission for streaming player. With modern internet there is no excuse for less than 320 streaming in my view.

As the ZP90 is being bricked very soon, does anyone know if the Port is bit-perfect?

I took delivery of my shiny new Sonos Arc yesterday. I’ve installed it and plugged the HDMI into the correct HDMI port (port 2) on my LG C9. I’m getting fantastic Atmos from the Netflix app etc however…..as soon as I plug my Sky Q box into HMDI port 1, my tv defaults to the internal speaker and won’t allow me to change the setting back to the HDMI ARC output until I disconnect the Sky Q box. Any ideas? Thanks

I’ve set up a s2 system with a Boost on my LAN and this works. I wish to set up a separate S1 system for a Gen 1 Play 5 with a Bridge on the same LAN however this is proving difficult. Is it possible to have two separate S1 and S2 systems on the same LAN both using sonosnet, one via a Boost and one via a Bridge?

I recently purchased the Sub Gen 2 about 6 months ago. I plan to one day purchase the new upcoming Sonos Arc soundbar. With the new Sub Gen 3 releasing, does this mean I will not be able to use the Sub Gen 2 with the new Arc soundbar to create my home theater surround sound?

What I’m hearing so far about the S2 software is making me really think about updating my remaining legacy products - especially the potential about supporting high-res audio.    That said, my remaining concern has been the song limit - I’ve been relying on a DLNA server and now, as a better option, have migrated to Plex because my music collection is way larger than that.    Curious, is S2 also going to raise this limit?   It would be nice to be able to simplify my setup by getting rid of the servers. 

In order to save songs I started using the “My Sonos” menu at the lower left bottom of the page. With me so far? I did not import playlists or anything from iTunes I would simply play a song and using the three little dots, save the song to “My Sonos.” My Sonos has a limit to the number of songs you can save. That is now full. I saved the songs using Napster to stream. I have since started using Tidal and no longer use Napster. Since Sonos doesn’t play a saved song from a deleted service, I thought I would delete the individual songs and replace them with Tidal versions. ( I realize I could just start Napster again) There appears to be no way to delete the songs?  Have looked through Sonos help Libraries and can find nothing. Why isn’t delete, an option in the 3 little dots menu? Again, nothing imported from iTunes or my Mac. Simply saved songs In Sonos that can’t be deleted. Do I have to start Napster again to be able to delete the songs? This is a basic set up using Play 1s and a

I’m wondering if before I update my system to the S2 whether certain products which are compatible at present will cease to be supported on it in the future? I have a number of Play 3s which are a relatively old product now in the Sonos line up. Is it possible Sonos would not provide updates for them forcing me to upgrade or would they come up with S3 and exclude older products from that?

I recently acquired a Sonos Move, which has replaced a Play 1 in our dining room. We have so far used it predominantly moved into the bathroom as needed and for occasional dinner background music in the dining room. It’s always connected to Wifi - not yet used the Bluetooth functionality. We will also be using it on the patio when/if the UK weather improves in the summer. (also on Wifi but may need to use Bluetooth if kids want to take it down the end of the garden.  We’ve had it a few weeks and I’m reasonably happy with it. When not used in the bathroom it has always been kept on it’s charging base. Recently though I have noticed in the app that it never gets to 100% charge, always stopping at 95%. On the odd occasion, it has shown 100% in the app for around 1 second then changes to 95%. I should point out that I don’t have voice services active but I do keep the mic on for auto true play. So - is this normal battery behaviour? Should I take it off the charger for a while? I’m a litle
