Question

unpair

I have playbar and subwoofer.....I bought later 2 play3's for stereo sound but I can't use subwoofer with the play3's without first unpairing the subwoofer from playbar.....Is that correct, if so it sucks!

    From memory you don't have to rename the speakers each time, You can give the speakers room names, then bond them to the Playbar and they will revert to the names when you unbond them. I think you can adjust the volume of the surrounds relative to the Playbar but not turn it off. I can't be sure - it isn't something I ever do and I'm away from my system at the moment. In normal music operation both the Playbar and the surrounds play stereo.

    I like to watch a movie in 5.1 with sub.....and I like to listen to music in stereo with sub. I've got all the speakers but don't want the hassle with bonding unpairing etc...
    Thanks for all the input here........

    In the first place, obtaining best results for stereo music needs the speaker pair to be facing you while surround effects for movies are best delivered by speakers at the side/behind you.

    How would you like Sonos to make that little changeover easier for you?

    Using Full mode may well be the ideal solution for you, if you are prepared to be open to that being the case. If not, sell the system.
