Hi Phil, Thankyou for providing these excellent videos. I’m considering adding a Sonos Connect:AMP (2010) to my existing S1 system but not sure how. I have the ZP100 (2008) driving 2 in-wall B&W speakers. It also provides wireless feed to a ZP80 which supplies input to a separate 200W power amp driving a pr of B&W 703,s. How can I add the connect:AMP to my system to create an additional zone to provide (syncronised) input to separate AV amp with theatre speakers? Looking forward to your response With thanks Tony
You should be able to simply turn it on and connect it to your network, but you may not be able to use it to for input! I have the same amp and it is brilliant as a standalone amplifier, but does not feed an additional amp like the ZP 80 does. support.sonos.com/en-ca/article/set-up-your-sonos-connect-amp
Excellent video. I truly enjoyed your demo. Both a magical and practical setup. I have a question. With SONOS Connect Amp, is it possible to use it as a Power Amp only. As in turntable, CD, Cassette Deck, Tuner etc. all plugged into a Preamp. Can the Preamp OUTPUT go into SONOS Connect Amp INPUT. Hence, turning up volume of any selected source on Preamp and listening through speakers coming out of SONOS Connect Amp :)
@HelpfulPhil Thanks, I'll buy a connect amp soon and hook it up to my rotel preamp. Can't wait to see the ability to play turntable, CD, Tuner, Cassette Deck, reel to reel, dat, minidisc, all through the connect amp as well as stream music from my phone :)
Q: Am I able to play the music from my Chromecast device to the (in-ceiling) speakers connected through the ZP100? For ex, I have a Chromecast device (Chromecast with Google TV) that is currently connected to my TV from where I stream Netflix, etc.
I have just been given two of those amps plus two of those iPod style screens , Mission speakers and other things! It all was getting thrown into a skip!! Crazy what folk throw away Thank you for the video
Sí, puede conectar todos los dispositivos Sonos a la misma red Sonos, sin embargo, el Z P100 requiere la antigua aplicación Sonos S1 si la está utilizando en un dispositivo móvil.
We have a Denon Receiver that drives our 5.1 speakers, has a NAS server as the source of our music library. Should we plug from the Denon to the ZP100 inputs, making our receiver act as a pre-amp? We cannot currently get the Sonos to go to our 5.1 speakers or recognize our music library.
It is possible that the Denon would be better with it's more modern options of 5.1 etc. I suggest using the Sonos a source into your Denon. You should be able to get the Sonos to recognize a NAS Music library.
Just want to clarify before I pull the trigger. I will be able to connect book shelf speakers to the app, as well as running the TV audio through the app to the speakers (I’m happy to do this over Wi-Fi on my Apple TV or through some cable to my TV). Is that doable in your opinion?
You can only connect and control Sonos hardware products with the Sonos S1 or S2 Controller App's. Sonos harware may allow devices, such as Speakers, to be connected, but the app only controls the Sonos hardware. Refer to the official Sonos website for the current hardware product line up and features.
@@HelpfulPhil thanks so much this is super helpful. I couldn’t find a clear answer as to whether the Sonos amp was the solution to playing audio from the TV through my old speakers. Guess this is a miss for me 😭
@@number2nd make sure you read my response clearly ! Did you mean to write 'Amp' when you wrote 'app' ? ...of course you can connect a TV audio out to a Sonos Amplifier. Just make sure your audio out options from the TV connect to your chosen Sonos Amplifier. The Sonos App controls the Sonos hardware Amplifier, not the TV or the speakers, but by proxy provides volume control (and other aspects) of the speaker sound.
hi, just wondering if this will connect to a sonos play 1 too? ideall want to either have this hooked up to my tv or record player and then play through the play one. thanks
All Sonos devices can be linked wirelessly, however there is no audio wired 'Input' on a Sonos 1. I'd recommend connecting 'normal' loudspeakers to a ZP100, also you can add your external music source such as a TV or record player (There is only one audio inputs so you would need to have an output from a preamplifier for instance to enable you to add multiple devices) and beam the sound wirelessly to your other Sonos speakers.
is this working a vinyl player connected via RCA ? and is it possible to diffuse the music to a sonos beam and one speakers from this ZP100 ? thank you and by the way thank you for the great video
Yes it can have a vinyl record player (Preamp out) connected via the RCA input jacks, or any other 'audio device'. Yes you can share music to any other Sonos device on your system.

only if the Chromecast device is wired connected to your ZP100 inputs.

Thank you for the video
what do I do if the zoneplayer doesn't work anymore but i have sonos speakers installed in my ceilings - help!
contact Sonos directly for help
How would I be able to add airplay 2 capability?
you'd have to add an Airplay compatible device (e.g. Apple TV) to the Phono Input.
was just wondering if this still worked, thanks!
Absolutely it works perfectly.

Wow I think I'm going to stick to my vinyl, CDs and trustee Technics amplifier
Yes, sometimes a Sonos system doesn’t suit one’s needs.
