How do we use the network connections? What kind of devices can get hooked into them? (Sonos?)

As the PM6005 does not have the ability to connect to the network but has analog (multiple), digital coaxial (1), and digital optical (1) inputs, any devices that are connected to the amplifier and which do have networking capability (For example, the Pioneer N-50 Network Audio Player, Western Digital's WD TV, Apple's AppleTV, and the Sonos Connect) can send analog, digital coaxial, or digital optical signals into the PM6005 from other networked sources of digital audio files (your home NAS/DLNA servers like Western Digital's MyCloud and MyBook Live) and/or digital audio streams (Internet radio stations, Netflix, ...).

First of all. Great sounding and award winning amplifier. Although I use my Sonos to stream audio through its tune in radio app and as a link to my computer stored music library be aware that there are also two types of pure digital audio inputs as well toslink & (coax which looks like a single RCA jack but isn't.) Many devices including Sonos have toslink outputs and this option bypasses the digital audio converters (which on this unit are excellent) All Apple computers have combo audio outs that can plug into this port with a simple adapter if you want pure digital, but a boxee or Roku could be used for this input as well. So if you use up your digital input options then by all means connect any streaming audio device here. Some streamers broadcast song info that can be viewed on the front panel but my unit is inside a cabinet so this is a moot point for me. Hope this info helps. PS you can view the owners manual on Marantz's website.

Dear Ananth,There are two digital connections and plenty of analog connections to connect whatever devices you'd like. The PM6005 does not have network connections, though.Eric C

The Network source is a simple RCA input. You can connect anything with a line-level output to the Network Source, you can also connect it from a high-level or speaker output as well, but that is more likely to cause distortion.To connect the Sonos to the Network input, you'll need a cable that will go from the line out (probably a standard 3.5mm) to RCA. If the Sonos has an optical or coax output, you could also connect it directly to the digital inputs on the PM6005.

Yes you can play from DLNA but not to multiple devices? I think you are confusing this with 7.2 system. This has only one "surround room" therefore only one output/set of speakers. If that answers your question

You can control it with the Sonos app as you do with other Sonos components or you can use the TV remote. During the setup process you are guided to point the TV remote at the Playbar and press the volume button up and down. The setup recognizes it and synced them to work with one another. As with everything Sonos it worked flawlessly. You can also use the TV remote to turn it up and down while playing music, not just for TV watching.

setup with multiple Sonos systems with latest firmware through Cloudtrax and Sonos. No problems whatsoever.

If you get a SONOS CONNECT and connect your wired speakers to it, you can control the speakers via. SONOS Via. Wifi. Via. SONOS app. via. Pandora or other wireless source using your smart phone, MAC, or Ipad.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.

Sonos Bridge males things easier, but Connect works fine, I have my speakers working with Connect.

No. You can play each speaker independently. The bridge is for sonos network to connect to your router.

You only need the playbar to play sonos through the tv without a receiver. Otherwise, a bridge alone will allow you to play music through the speakers.

As long as the Sonos can accept audio input via an analog wired audio cable, then yes, you could stream to this BTA-10 via bluetooth and then have it pass to the Sonos (or any other audio amp/player) The BTA outputs via a 1/8" mini phone jack, so you'd need to adapt accordingly.

You'd need the cheaper Sonos Connect, which has "RCA out" plugs. Those plugs can be connected to your powered PC speakers with a cheap RCA male to 3.5mm female adapter cable.

You can connect all the left speakers together and wire them into the left speaker connection. Same w right. You can also pig tail each if you like. The system was built for 1 pair 1 zone, but people in the real world who want the benefits of sonos and don't have the dollars to do 1 zone per speaker pair do this all the time.Just note: 1 Sonos = 1 Zone. That is the price for the shortcut.

A connect allowed me to hook up my rOnkyo receiver & speakers. I still needed a bridge for all the wireless sonos speakers. Hope that helps

Not sure I understand. Are you asking if you can use Sonos speakers for TV audio? The answer is yes, but not with the bridge. The bridge issued to connect the sonos speakers to the household wifi. Sonos does have an (expensive) sound bar product meant to be used as alternate speakers for the TV. Check out www.sonos.com

You must connect at least one Sonos component to your network router. It will then set-up its own wireless network to communicate between the various components. If you have only one component near your router then you won't need a bridge. If you can't plug right into your router then you'll need a bridge to serve in that role. I have one bridge plugged into my Apple TimeCapsule and then have Sonos devices in my kitchen, living room, and bed room all communicating with the bridge. Sonos periodically runs specials where they give you a free bridge with purchase of a device.

Yeah, it's basically just an extension chord mounted behind the wall. It works great for TV's because the 2" circular outlet is hidden behind the tv and you can run other chords along with it, whereas this might be an eyesore next to a tiny speaker. I don't think you can just run the chord for your Sonos behind the wall, so this might be the best solution. It's really just the novice DIY way of putting an electrical outlet up in a place where you don't have one.

Hi, sorry for my english, but i will try to explain you.You can buy only the Sonos PLAY 5, but you have to connect your SONOS to your router. Your Sonos needs to be connected to internet so you need to connect it with your router using a LAN CABLE. So your system is not going to be "wireless".When you buy a bridge you connect the bridge to your router with a LAN cable and your SONOS PLAY 5 could be in any part of your house because it connects wireless with your bridge ( your bridge shares the internet connection ).The sonos components shares a wireless connection between them, so only one of them should be connected wired to your internet connection.
