I have a Sonos connect and a Yamaha AV receiver in my living room. The Sonos connect outputs into the AV receiver as you would expect so that I can listen to music through the Sonos software. No problems here.
Now then, the connect also has analog inputs so that if you attach something like a CD player, it will make that source available to all the other Sonos speakers in the house...great!
What I would like is to be able to attach an output from the AV receiver to the Sonos connect so that in situations where we're using a different source such as the TV, PS3, CD player or anything else attached to the AV receiver, we can have the sound coming out of the rest of the Sonos speakers in the house.
From reading the AV receiver manual, it seems that because my TV, PS3 and CD player are all connected to the AV receiver using a digital cable (Optical or Coax), the AV receiver won't output the signal from the "out" analog ports.
My only option seems to be to connect my TV, PS3 and CD player using analog cables to the AV receiver so that their signal is output from the "out" analog ports on the AV receiver?
Anyone got any clever ways around this?
