Could someone kindly help please?
I currently have the following
LG Oled tv connected to Sonos Arc via Earc
Sonos Arc
Sonos Gen 3 sub
pair of Era 300s configured as surrounds.
The Era 300s in this configuration don’t utilise the main speaker.
How can I add a CD player and what hardware is required to play stereo to the Era 300s so the centre speaker is used and retain the system as a surround set up for blu rays. Or is it not possible
Thank you

This is not possible. When used as surrounds, the front-facing driver of the Era 300 is disabled. If you want the front-facing driver enabled, you need to remove the Era 300s as surrounds and set them up as a stereo pair. You could then connect a CD player using the USB-C port on one of the Era 300s with the Sonos line-in adapter.
If you want to keep the Era 300s as surrounds, just play CDs through your Arc setup using your Blu-ray player.

I do currently do that but CDs don’t sound right? They seem to ‘jitter’ unless the settings are incorrect?
Thank you for your kind help 👍
Found the downmix setting was set to surround so changed it to stereo, seems much better 🙂
Thank you 👍
