What you should first is to start the cd player from each room to see if the system works.
I assume that you have a B&O remote!?
Furthermore the BL8000 probably are connected to the 9000 system (living room) – but where does the ir eye fit in there???
Generally speaking these old ML-driven setups rely on a Master (the BS9000 in your case) – this delievers the sound that can be distributed to the linked rooms (garage etc etc).
You can only listen to what the Master offers – and you can include/exclude the linkrooms as you please.
In the linkrooms you can not listen independently to anything – only what the Master device offers!
Adding a Sonos Port (or any other streaming device) can only happen via the 9000 and the sound from that will be distributed the same way as described…..no individual streams possible in the linkrooms!
You can easily try this out, if you connect the headphone output of a mobile phone/tablet to Aux port of the 9000 = stereo minijack -> din 5-pin cable.
Not quite what you want – but this is due to the nature of the ML infrastructure……it is a master/slave network.
Anyway – as written above – first try out if the system is functional!
