I have connected a Sonos “Connect" through the Line-in jack to my Beovision Eclipse. However, when I play Sonos on other (B&O) speakers in the house, there is a noticeable delay from the Eclipse. Is this a known issue and caused by sound processing or ??  

Sonos is connected through Line-in in the source settings.   Any work arounds?

I tried the same thing on my Beoplay V1 both on the analog AV port and the digital S/PDIF port and there is also a noticeable delay of the sound from the Sonos unit in both cases.

I guess it is the sound processing in the TV as you also say

My solution was to buy an Almando power link switch https://almando.com/index.php/b-o/bo-und-sonos/almando-multiplay-stereo.html and connect in between the Sonos connect, the tv and the external speakers normally connected to my tv.

This way the Sonos Connect will play through the external speakers, but when the tv turns on the sound from sonos will be cut of and the TV takes over the speakers.

I have seen other members on the forum recommend this product which will do the same https://shop.oneremote.dk/en/product/oneremote-powerlink-switch/

Of course these solutions will only work if you have external speakers connected to hour tv

Do you have all of your products hard wired to a network? If not have you adjusted the network delay settings within Settings > Sound & BeoLink > Network Delay.

Can I ask what is the Sonos bringing to the Eclipse setup and other B&O speakers?

Sonos is a multiroom sound system with integration of a lot of different music services. If there is sonos speakers in the rest of the house it makes good sense to use a sonos connect with a tv and its connected speakers

The OP has an Eclipse TV with multiroom audio sources integrated that can handle different audio sources, there’s also other B&O speakers around the house so why would you need a Sonos unless the Sonos ZP is connected to the B&O speakers?!

I use Sonos as the multiroom music system - some rooms have a Sonos proprietary speaker and some rooms the Sonos is connected to B&= speakers for better sound...

I finally ran into this issue with a customer who we upgraded to Sonos everywhere.   The TV set has the toslink connection from the Sonos.  The delay is obvious when you join a few of the close by zones to the group.   Hopefully the delay can be removed by firmware.

I have asked B&O multiple times for this to no avail.

The sound needs to bypass the eclipse sound processing unit and apparently this is not high on the priority list...
