Can I connect an external turntable to my Beam(Gen 2)?

I bought today an ARC SL (connected to my Sony Bravia TV) and one ERA 300.Both are connected to my personal wifi.I would like to get the TV sound on the (alone) ERA 300 (located in the kitchen) but did not find how to proceed.Any help welcome.Cheers 

Our system will play most radio stations perfectly well. All day long, no problem. Except for Sonos Cruise Control … which drops the conenction about every 30 minutes. It goes quiet for about 10 seconds then re-connects and carries on - until the next time. it will do this all day long, day after day. But only on this one channel. Does anyone have any ideas? (yes, I know its probably easier just to listen to something else, but the Mrs seems to prefer Cruise Control to anything else) 

I have a two ones, a beam gen 1 and a move gen 1. would adding a connect gen 2 improve my sound quality? 

Any advice on this? I'm trying a+d then using code 33919 but my remote is not connecting to Ray. I can use my Sonos app to control volume but I need this to work with my remote so anyone can use the remote to control volume. Any help here? 

Hi, Since last update, 16.1, sonos voice control not working. Before when micro button is on (green) I have white light on speaker, but not now. « Hey sonos, play …etc), simply no respond.  Anyone have same issue?   

My setup:LG 65” OLED (OLED65C3AUA.AUS) Sonos Arc SL  No other devices plugged in to TV  HDMI plugged in to port 2 in TV (e-arc/arc port)  Audio output: “HDMI Arc” with so sound options available (all greyed out on TV)My problem: Sound will stop working after 20-30 minutes. Absoutely no input change, volume change, or app change. Sound goes from working perfectly to being silent. Very frustrating. I unplug/re-plug the power and the HDMI several times and then it works again. What I’ve tried: I bought a new, high-quality HDMI cable and the problem persists, so I am back to the Sonos-included cable. When the sound goes off, the Arc is still on, and the sound still works on the Arc (when I physcially presst he volume buttons in makes the thumping sound) and the led turns on. I have updated the firmware on both the TV and the Sonos, and I have checked the plug connections a million times. Anyways, this is a brand new tv and this is extremely frustrating. Please help. Thanks

Hello,My sonos roam won't turn on or charge since yesterday, it was working perfectly paired with my sonos one, it stopped working so i try to charge it and nothing happen since, i used every usb C cord i have ?Holding the power button for 5, 10, 12, 30 seconds won’t do nothing, the orange LED is not working too.Don’t know what to do ????Merry christmas, i’m afraid that only half of my family will listen to my christmas playlist.Best,  Simon

I am using the Sonos APP, how can I adjust the sound (bass and treble)?? 

Hi. I have just purchased an era 300 to add to an existing Sonos 1 in our lounge. How can I get these so that they are permanently grouped and always come on in sync, either on the alarm or when I ask Alexa. It worked fine when I had two Sonos 1s paired but recognise I can’t do a stereo pair with the different products but i do still want to group them so they play together. 

Hello. Please help. What I want to accomplish is twofold: 1. Group all 4 speakers (2 next to TV and 2 in the back for surround), hopefully giving stereo/surround effect, and allow master volume to be consistently managed by TV remote. As of right now, my TV remote only controls the volume for my Sonos Arc and the two Era 100’s surround in the back of the room. I have to turn the volume of the Era 100’s (that are next to the TV) up and down in the app2. Stream music, using Airplay at moment as I get used to setting up system, without compromising TV volume control when I switch back to TV. 

I currently have a the large Gen 1 sub, a set sound bar, and a set of surrounds. I also have several bookshelf speaker though my home. I do have at least 1 Gen 3 product, the Era 100. I am wanting to add a sub mini to my system to place in another room. I know that you can add a second sub to a home theatre set up. That is not my goal. I just want more bass in another area of my home when I play something on all of speakers. Is this possible? Further more if I one day add another theater set up to my bedroom will I be all to the second sub for that?

Should I set my audio on the tcl 635 tv to passthrough or auto?  Auto gives me multichannel pcm and passthrough gives me Dolby digital 5.1. I get atmos when atmos is offered from Disney plus.  kinda underwhelmed by the arc. My beam 1 seems much punchier trying to nail down these settings for the arc.  Got a mini sub to go along but haven’t installed yet. Room is smaller 14X20

My 2 ERA 100’s will not connect to my Beam

Historically my Music Library sat on my Qnap, as to reduce the time wasted looking for suitable music, my playlists would stream with no hesitation. Not certain after which Sonos update - my library was recently updated, and a laptop replaced which i feel was overdue. Looking back, I feel the original setup was far easier. Reading up on Qnap forum’s I’m now led to believe that Sonos has somewhat neglected updating their SMB protocols.Something that was working has now stopped. Confused as why Sonos has changed controllers between gen 1’s and 2’s. – A product that I was so proud of to mention and promote, has let me down. I’ve have three play fives for such a long time. 

I am in the middle of converting my garage to a mini man cave and I have just bought the Arc sound bar and 2x Era 100’s for surround effect. While they are a few days away from delivery I wanted to understand how they connect so I can have my electrician build the room properly before the new studwalls are erected…From what I understand the Eras need a USB or Optic cable (can someone please explain what the difference in between the two) connection - but does this go back to the Arc or is it hard wired to a power source? I have looked online for video / reddit or anything but I just don’t see enough detail to guide my sparky.ThanksBryan

I Have a Arc SL attached to a 65” Samsung TV via HDMI ARC.Our Sound bar shows this issue usually a couple of weeks after plugging the SB out for 20s and plugging back in. This has always resolved the issue for a couple of weeks and then the issue comes back.  I have been on to Sonos support on 4 separate occasions and also provided the diagnostic events - No Joy. Very frustrated considering this is a very expensive SB.  Firm wear - Fully UpdatedHDMI Cable replaced : Issue reoccursSupport suggested changing the WiFI channel, no impact, issue reoccurs

How can I help play vinyl through my Sonos Beam, sub mini and two OneSL speakers?The system is linked up to my TV and is great but how do I play vinyl through it.Layman’s terms please!😀

My Sonos roam will not connect to Bluetooth. We have tried my phone and my friends. The roam does have battery and I even plugged in too just to be sure. Why won’t it connect? 

I have 4 speakers hardwired to my Amp.  I can play music through the speakers using my phone’s Bluetooth. I have an older model non smart TV that has a Firestick. I’d like to know how I can play my TV through the speakers? Do I need some adapter? Running wires from the TV to the amp is not desirable. Thanks.

I have a local network that has “smart connect”, meaning that the Wi-Fi SSID (and password) is the same for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. A device, if 5GHz-capable, will connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi by default.The problem seems to be that my phone, which is 5GHz-capable, will always connect to the 5GHz network, with no option to alternatively select the 2.4Ghz network.When this happens, attempting to add a new Play:1 (2.4GHz only) using the Sonos Android app will hang and never complete, I am assuming, due to the fact that my phone is on the 5GHz network.Disabling “smart connect” and naming the 2.4GHz network differently than the 5GHz network so that I can explicitly connect to that radio will be too disruptive to my IoT devices and everything else in my home that uses Wi-Fi. I do not have access to a device with only a 2.4GHz radio that I can use to configure the speaker either.Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, when did this become so difficult, Sonos? Why can’t you make the a

I have just bought a new Samsung TV and it connects and works ok with my Sonos Playbar, connected via an optical cable. The TV smart remote will not however control the volume on the Sonos Playbar. I think that the only way for this to work is via the HDMI/ARC connection. The Playbar however doesn’t have an HDMI connector. Can anyone suggest any way of solving this, (other than upgrading to a Sony ARC!)? Is there an Optical to HDMI adapter out there that might work to solve this?
