Connecting Sonos to my bi-amp hifi

Dear Sonosers,

As an inexperienced user thinking about joining the Sonos family, I am trying to figure out, which device to get. My goal is to couple the Sonos system with my old Panasonic SA-PM22 hifi, in order to listen to CDs played by the hifi throughout the home on future Sonos speakers (most likely Symfonisk speakers, but this should not matter now, if I am not mistaken).

However, my hifi has a bi-amp output, meaning 2x2 sockets for wire/cord output (bass) & 2 sockets for rca output (high&mid) (see pics attached).

When looking at the Sonos Connect devices (which I believe should offer the solution to my question), I do not see any wire/cord input option, thus I believe, that connecting my hifi only with rca to Sonos Connect devices will leave me with half the sound (high&mid) transmitted to the speakers of the home. 

My question: is there a solution to connecting my bi-amp hifi to the Sonos ecosystem? (I.e. what did I get wrong in the above?) 

Please note, that hanging on to my current hifi is an emotional thing, thus changing it is not an option for me.

Thank you,

Best

    I don’t think you can connect to this. The Aux is analogue input only; the only output i can find is the front panel headphone, which is not suitable. 
    If you have ripped your cd collection onto digital storage you can access them as a “music library” in a Sonos system.

    Thank you all for your replies! I meant to check every option before coming myself to ratty’s conclusion, that playarounds are “an utterly horrible idea”. (I.e. I also exchanged e-mails with Panasonic support, who diplomatically pointed out, that they do not have any such converter device.)

    As I will certainly hang on to my CDS I will most likely end up buying another CD player - and of course never toss out the old one ;)
