I just received my Pro-Ject Turntable today and hooked it up as described.  I plugged into my Play:5 which I had set up as a stereo pair.  The speaker that the wire was NOT plugged into played while the speaker that had the wire into it was silent (save for a hum.  There are two ground wires on the cable that came with the turntable and I’m plugging directly into the Sonos so I didn’t know what to do with that extra ground plug.  The phono stage on the turntable is set to line out and now nothing is playing.  Not sure what’s wrong.  I have another Pro-Ject DC Carbon hooked up to a regular receiver and speaker set with its own preamp and it plays perfectly… HELP!

As a test, exchange left and right for the turntable. Make sure that all connections are firm — especially the connection to the PLAY:5. You may need to use more force than expected. None of the plug’s shaft should be visible.

Turntable was actually damaged.  I believe it was a return - I tested it on a working receiver from another setup and one channel wouldn’t play and other that did was fuzzy.  Returned product!
