Trying to connect this up using supplied rca cables. Red and white from Sonos Port out to red and white aux 2 in or aux 3 in on rear of 603 does not work but using a Y splitter to front aux 1 single jack on front of 606 does but looks very messy. Am I missing something obvious here? Also can the 12v trigger socket on rear of Sonos port connect with a 603 or any workarounds so 603 turns on automatically using Sonos app?
Thankyou in advance.

From the Marantz’s manual, the aux on the front panel is rated 110mV whereas the ones on the rear are rated 200mV. If the output from the Port is very low, that may explain it. Have you tried something else in the rear aux ports to check they’re working ok?
 
Thanks Peter, unfortunately I don't have a record player and the cd player is integrated into the 603 so not sure what else could be used to check rear aux ports, I'll have a good route around you never know!
 
If the Port had an optical output the Marantz would have turned on automatically when the Port turned on. You can’t use the 12V trigger with the Marantz.

Really you would have been better investing in the Sonos Amp rather than the Port.
