Playing vinyl via Sonos on a stereo that is 52 years old


I purchased a Fisher 36 that was made in 1972. It is a phenomenal multi changer stereo that works great. The person I purchased it from said it could connect via RCA to a Sonos connect or something and I would be able to listen to records that way. I tried this and it did not work. Was wondering if others have been able to do this and maybe the connect is not what I should use?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Try the RCDR out on the Fisher to the Connect analog in via RCA cables - the latter on the Connect being the same socket pair which you had used for the new record player.

You need to elaborate as to what else the Connect is connected to, either by wire, or, wirelessly to other Sonos speakers. By itself, the Connect will not produce audible sound.

Sorry - so I am connecting via RCA cables from the out to in on the connect. Here is a pic of the back of the stereo and not sure which inputs/outputs to use. I am not good with such stuff.

and the connect is not connected to anything - I just want to play my record player via connect to my speakers.

I have a new record player that I had connected to the connect and it worked fine.

Which “out” did you try? Are there other connections on the Fisher - your image does not show the whole if that page from the manual. 
 

I’d say you need to connect the Fisher’s “RCDR OUT” to the Connect’s input if there are no other connections on the Fisher.

Wow - thank you nik9669a and Kumar - not sure I tried that one.

 

I will give it a try and let you know

The question now is what do I set the stereo too? aux1 or aux2 or ?  (per the pictures)

Thank you again!

Ok - thank you everyone - the rcdr was the ticket - I left in on phono and turned off the main speakers and now have a 50+ year old record player blasting tunes throughout my entire house!

 

Thank you so much.
