Hi folks,

ive brought a new place and the previous owner left 2x Sonos play:5 speakers. I’m trying to reset them but there is no ‘play’ button on the top of them or ‘join’ button on the back. 
what can I do??

You don't say which generation but here is the support link for gen 1 Play 5s.

Hold the ‘mute’ button instead when powering back on.

If it s a Gen 1 you will need to use the “Sonos S1” app to get them working.
