Sonos network box sounds like shkj: Bad reciever?

[davidm71]

Hi,

In the office we have an old audio speaker setup with speakers mounted in the walls through out the office.
This all connects into an old Insignia receiver we have and the sound quality for radio isn't that bad. However
when I try to feed in a Sonos network port into the phono port the sound breaks up and crackles. Really want
internet radio but wonder do I need a new receiver?

Thanks

What is Phono Input?
A phono input is an audio input that can be found on a preamplifier, an amplifier, or a stereo receiver. This type of audio connection accepts signals from analog turntables, which boosts and adds RIAA equalization to recreate the original sound. These records are recorded with the higher frequencies increased and lower frequencies reduced, but during playback, the frequency response is reversed to reduce audible background noise. Most A/V receivers also have this type of input to increase the number of sound options available.

What is Phono Input and When Should You Use It?

Learning about phono input and when you should use it is key to understanding how to boost vinyl playback with clarity.

So its the wrong port to use. Got it.

Thanks

This is crazy. Only get audio streamed through the PHONO port.

If I try plugging in the red white audio plugs into either AUX, TAPE, or CD ports on the back of this
receiver I get nothing.

Only through the PHONO!

Think I figured it out. Had to set 'Pass through' mode through the Sonos app configuration settings.
