Play 5 connected to turntable and television

I'm going to purchase a pair of Play 5s for my home audio setup and want to connect both a turntable and a television. Is it possible to use the line-in on each speaker (i.e., one source coming from the TV and one from the turntable)? Will I have delay issues if I'm using a line-in for the TV? If so, is there any way to avoid it? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Sort order Albums

I have used other music libraries and got used to sorting functions I cannot find in Sonos. Firstly it is not logical to sort the albums based on their title. It is more logical to sort based on album artist first and then title. Secondly I would also like to sort on latest added albums first. Usually you listen to the most recently added albums most. Secondly you know you have added new albums that you want to explore but you do not keep in your head which 20 records you have added most recently. So I would like to have these two sorting’s available at the same time not only one or the other. Are these sorting functions available and how do I set them up? If not when can I expect them?

Is a 4.1 surround set-up possible?

Would it be possible to use four Play 1's and the Sub in a 4.1 surround sound setup (Left-Sub-Right) + (Left Rear - Right Rear)? Or is a Playbar required for the front speaker?

Connect:Amp and Amazon Alexa

I have a question regarding how the connect:amp auto play feature works. Based on the user manual, it appears the amp will detect once Alexa is outputting audio. So for example, if streaming audio from within the sonos app and I said "Alexa what is the forecast", sonos streaming would stop and I would hear the forecast from Alexa. Can someone tell me what would happen after the forecast is complete? Would sonos streaming resume or would it be on pause? Thanks!

Impression of new (2nd gen) Play:5 as replacement for Play:1 stereo pair

Hello all, I'm new around here (though not to Sonos) and, given the discussions I've seen in the community, I thought some of you might be interested in my experience of replacing a stereo pair of Play:1 speakers with a single 2nd generation Play:5 as the main music source in my small apartment: Owing to a small and very awkward living space (windows everywhere, bookshelves where there are no windows), I've been looking for a good sounding one-box audio solution forever. A while ago I went a listened to the first generation Play:5 and was able to compare it quite extensively to a stereo pair of Play:1s (the same price, at the time). Whilst I was personally underwhelmed by the original Play:5, I was very impressed by the Play:1s when stereo paired; so much so that I bought them, even though I was really looking for a single sound source. The months that followed confirmed my impression that the Play:1s are excellent little speakers with a nice broad stereo sound but placement rema

Beta version 7

I eagerly downloaded the new beta version 7 onto my iPhone this morning. But see no difference in how it plays Spotify. The settings 'About my Sonos System' says I am still on v6.4.8 which suggests the update has not worked. It went through the update and reconfiguration process on the iphone. I used the url in the email (to be used in cases where update fails) to download the dmg file to my phone but then it asks where I want to open it - Notes, Dropbox, iCloud with no option to open it on the phone. Can anyone please help me. Thanks in anticipation

iOS App: Battery drain

Anybody finding the latest iOS app is draining their iPhone battery? When I leave my house (and wifi network), the app is continuing to do something in the background. So, it is typically drawing 25% or more of my battery life over 24 hours. Lots of 'background activity.' This is a new issue -- within the last weeks. I have to remember to close -- not just put in the background -- the app when I leave my wifi network.

SONOS Alarm Clock Radio

Add a color screen, a large button, and a battery backup to the Play:3. The color screen can be used to display the time using a number of customizable clock faces, as well as the song artwork when playing music. The button can be customized to act as any number of functions, such as starting a preset channel, snoozing or stopping the alarm. The battery backup guarantees the alarm will still go off in case of a power failure. The only reason I haven't yet replaced my current alarm clocks with a Play:3 is this; I don't want to have two boxes on my nightstand.

Connect + turntable

I've recently acquired an Audio Technica AT-LP120 turntable and am looking into connecting it to my Sonos system. I've scoured the forums and am pretty sure about the answer, but thought I'd double check with you guys. The turntable has a built-in preamp, so am I right in assuming that I can wire it to a Connect and stream it to my Sonos speakers without the need for a separate amplifier? There won't be any speakers wired directly to the turntable (I've already got a Connect:Amp wired to some Cambridge Audio floorstanders in the living room, but the boss won't allow a turntable in there!). Thanks in advance.

Taking play 1s and sub somewhere else

Hi Im going away for the weekend to a cottage that has broadband but possibly not direct access to the router. I wish to take my play 1 pair plus sub. At home, my sub is bonded to connect amp. Can anyone please tell me the steps required for the play 1s and sub to work together at the cottage and also still integrate straight back into my existing setup when i return home? Thanks

Sony TV & soundbar - would like to use Play 1 for surround sound

Hello. With the Play 1 on sale at the moment I thought about picking up two to add to my lounge. I have a Sony TV and the soundbar/sub that came with it. My thought was that maybe I could get 2 Play 1's and connect them to the TV as part of the existing setup. Is this possible wirelessly? Thanks

Connect Amp - 1st Gen

Are there any significant differences between the First Generation Connect Amp and the current generation? I know that the first gen is a good deal larger than the current generation but I'm curious if there are any compatibility or software limitations with the current Amp being used on my new Sonos system. Thanks.

Wireless Headphones & Sonos

I realise this is a bit of an "old chestnut" topic, but thought my experience may be of interest to anyone going this route. Had a rather nice Xmas present of Sennheiser RS 175 wireless phones. These have a digital optical input (cable supplied) as well as the usual analog inputs. Wired this to my Sonos Connect optical output (the Connect is powering my conventional Hi Fi system) The result is very pleasing, works a treat with Sonos. The sound quality is all I could wish for & the range seems more than adequate for our 3 bed house.

About to buy a SONOS, a couple of questions regarding usability.

Today I went to a shop almost decided to buy a SONOS, unfortunately the vendor there had no clue about the system and couldn't answer any of my questions, happens. Anyway, my use case would be: - I stream to my TV (Samsung UE48JU) movies from my PC using Chromecast. - I like to watch some YouTube videos mostly or occasionally some music in the kitchen while I do something. - I play PS4 on the TV. - I don't play PC games on the TV, but might happen in the future, perhaps. The idea is: - to buy a playbar for the TV and a play 3 for the kitchen. - if everything works really good, later I'd add a sub-woofer + a couple of play 3 to get 5.1 to the TV room. However I've been reading that: - some people has issues when trying to get 5.1, because apparently when you connect the console through the HDMI connection, you cant get optic audio out in 5.1 - YouTube is not supported within the app, any workarounds?.or could I use Chromecast somehow?. Basically those are my
