I have 2 Sonos Amps and want to connect them to my Onkyo TX-NR6050 7.2-Channel AV Receiver. Do I need to buy a port to connect them all and control on my speakers?

connecting Sonos amps to Onkyo receiver
Best answer by Airgetlam
The Sonos Amp has an analog input, but no line level outputs, only the powered speaker terminals. You might connect a line out from the Onkyo to those analog inputs, but there’s no great way to get a Sonos signal from an Amp into the Onkyo, without a Port.
What were you thinking of doing by connecting them to your Onkyo? What inputs and outputs are available on that Onkyo?

I was trying to connect everything on to one system and be able to control music through Sonos app. I actually bought the Denon AVR -S760H instead on the Onkyo. Can I still do it? I would like to listen to music when not watching tv through the 5.1, can I just use my Sonos Amp to connect to the 5.1surround sound and not the Denon receiver?

Hi. It seems to me that the whole idea of connecting an Amp (which has an amplifier) to a receiver (which also has an amplifier) has to be misguided.
As others have said, a Port is more likely to be suitable.
Does the AVR have a Tape Out / Rec socket?
