Bullseye Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 My dad have a simple 1 room 1 tv , and a denon 2zone receiver with a hc250. Independent from c4, he also has 2 sonos 1 that he uses mainly for radio stations under tune-in. The readio reception is very poor in the area. Is there any advantage to adding the sonos to the control 4 system. Can the sonos be used as extra zones with c4. Is it worth it at all right now??

Adding those two Sonos to Control4 isn't going to help that, and in general he'll find little to no benefit to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownbatsbreath Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 You can stream Tune-in from the 250, no sonos needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it, thats why he use tune in the sonos. He is in Puerto Rico and at his house the local radio reception is extremelly poor so he uses tune in to listen to the local stations he cannot get off air.

Bullseye Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 also, the house is poured concrete and cinder block so its not too easy to add additional wires to some areas without mayor work. I thought he will not get much benefit from the sonos but wanted to know the experts opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownbatsbreath Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Ah, I was thinking he was wanting to use the Denon to play audio. “Used as extra zones” would indicate otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4tune Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yes, for some some sources he’ll be more easily able to add zones and change stations as he moves about the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
