Question

new system

I have a home with 5 zones of wired speakers, each zone have a wall mounted volume control, all speaker wire goes back to the same location. I want to be able to stream music over all zones or some of the zones and would like to connect TV audio to one of the zones. Is this something that Sonos can do and if so what equipment do I need. The music stream would come from my ipad or phone. Thank you

Any Line-In can play in any combination of Rooms. A point of confusion is that a Line-In does not automatically play through the box hosting the input jacks. Line-In is simply a resource on the network.

    Also, bear in mind that this would not be a fully functional multi-room system - because in that configuration the CD player is not within the control of the Sonos app. You could change volume in each of the rooms and group them in different ways, but you could not tell the CD player to stop, start, or skip forward/back a track via the app, for example.

    In reality, Sonos has designed its system primarily for streaming services and, to a lesser extent now (it seems), serving content from a local networked media server.

    It should function OK, but you will not get full control over Line-In devices via the Sonos app.
