Sonos Connect with Pioneer Receiver (1 Viewer)

[Christian Coulis]

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-42 and am trying to use a Sonos Connect to stream the input from the receiver to other Sonos speakers throughout the house. It seams that that only RCA output the receiver has is the Zone2 output. So, I have an RCA cable from Zone2 output of the receiver to the input of the Sonos Connect.....but no audio is being broadcasted to the other Sonos speakers.

I have tested the Connect with another input (phone) and seems to be working fine. I have eliminated the chance of a faulty product and know that I am controlling it properly in the app.

I am looking for any advice to troubleshoot and get this working properly. Do I need a ConnectAmp with a Zone2 outuput, etc?

Thanks to anyone who has input!

Not sure about your particular receiver, but many will only put out audio to Zone 2 from analog sources. Might check the manual.
