Will Denon work with Sonos?

You may buy Sonos CONNECT Wireless Receiver Component for Streaming Music and connect it to ZONE2 out of this Denon receiver. This way you may be able to stream 2 channel stereo music to your SONOS speakers from the AVR.

Can I connect Sonos to my AV Receiver?

Sonos has a new addition to its ecosystem for connecting in your existing stereo and AV equipment, and for adding sound out and AirPlay 2 capabilities to existing speaker setups connected via an amplifier.

Are Sonos speakers Heos compatible?

A spokesperson for Sound United confirmed that the HEOS range will remain unchanged, though either Sonos nor Sound United have released the terms of the agreement. Meanwhile, most Denon and Marantz receivers now offer HEOS compatibility.

Can you have 2 Sonos systems?

If you’d like to update to the new S2 app but continue to use your S1 Sonos products, you can split your Sonos system into two separate systems and control them both using two apps. The new Sonos S2 app will control your S2 products and the Sonos S1 Controller app will control your S1 products.

When did Denon take legal action against Sonos?

The legal battle between Sonos and Denon, over patent infringements by Denon’s HEOS wireless multi-room product line, appears to have been resolved.

Can a Sonos receiver work with a Denon speaker?

With both, you can install active speakers as well as amplifiers and receivers with their HEOS or MusicCast software.

Can you use SONOS on a pioneer AV receiver?

In the ideal world, the Sonos software would be completely in the Pioneer and Onkyo receiver, and you could control more functionality of the AV receiver via the Sonos app. Hopefully we will see that happen next year or via a software update.

When Onkyo / Pioneer announced that their receivers would work with Sonos, seemed to be a victory for both the American multiroom helmsman and the Japanese holding company that owned Onkyo and Pioneer.
