3PedalMINI and I must have crossed in the hallway. I was at the morning session.

Anyway, a good case for the SONY is when a full surround receiver is more appropriate than a SONOS PLAYBAR. It's an easy option to use a SONOS CONNECT as the input to the SONY. Usually, this sort of scheme is an operational mess because one must preset the receiver volume, change input, change to the SONOS controller, get the music going, then worry what happens to the output level when the user switches back to another input. SONY deals with all of this.

Typically, I have used 12V triggers, relay switch boxes, and a CONNECT:AMP to give seamless control. This works well, but is messy. It's even messier if the customer wants the rear speakers to play the music too.
