Following recommendations here I've had a Sonos connect hooked up to my Arcam amp for a couple of months now and absolutely love it.

Recently moved the connect and amp into a new unit under the TV. Since then we've been getting bad interference on the TV and when recording programmes onto the DVD hard drive. It's very intermittent and doesn't happen that often but when it does the programmes are unwatchable.

Have retuned TV and DVD but it's still happening. Sonos is turned on all of the time, amp only when listening to music.

Is it coincidence that this has only started since the Sonos moved? I'm sure it's not the cause but thought I'd check to make sure before getting someone round to check the aerial.

Cheers,
L'rs

First off unplug the Sonos and put it somewhere else. If the interference stops then it's the Sonos. If not then s your TV connected to wi-fi? Might be on the same channel as the Sonos

Cause and effect, just moves the sonos and amp back to where they were.

Thanks for the replies.

Unable to move the amp & Sonos back to where since lounge has been redone.

Switching the Connect off is such an obvious thing to do but something I hadn't thought of so thanks for suggesting it!

I've checked on the Sonos forums and it seems I'm not the only one to have had problems like this.

Cables behind TV have been tidied and Connect moved as far away as possible. So far the problems haven't arisen again :fingerscrossedsmilie:
