How I added Play 5's as Front to my Playbar and Play 1's as additional Rears for Movies with no Lip Sync Issues

Hi Guys,I just thought I’d let you all in on a little hack that I’ve found that allows you to add as many speakers as you like to the sonos playbar when watching movies with no lip sync issues. Say what now? But what about that 70m/s delay I hear you say? Well - allow me to explain. First of all - y...

I've just connected a new Roku Ultra to my system. However it does not have an “optical” connection to connect with the Sonos Soundbar as the previous Roku did. How does one get the newer Roku Ultra to push sound through the Sonos Soundbar? Thank you.

AMP with Bowers and Wilkins using phantom center vs. Beam

I am currently using my AMP with Bowers and Wilkins speakers as LR and love the sound. The phantom center channel works really well for what it is. My questions are: 1.

Answer truthfully, does SONOS do 5.1?

I am a big movie watcher and I paid good money for my SONOS speakers because I wanted to have wireless 5.1 surround sound, NOT stereo surround sound. Such as if someone is behind you, you will hear footsteps behind you and not all around you, center channel included. So far I am not hearing that fro...

Best Product for Voice/Dialogue Clarity

I am debating between the PlayBase and Beam. I know the PlayBase will be a bit better quality otherwise, but voice/dialogue clarity is very important to me. It is the reason I am buying a new solution (I currently have a Sony soundbase). Form factor does not matter...either one of those two produ...

Wait for playbar 2?

I wanted to get a Sonos playbar with a sub to make a complete 5.1 set with the stereo pair play 3 that I already owned. Should I wait for the playbar 2? Because the playbar 1 is lacking a lot of feature compared to the beam like airplay 2, hdmi arc, which is very helpful because my tv uses a RF remo...

Ability to change TV Playback to 'Full' in surround sound settings

It would be a great addition to have a ‘TV Playback’ option in the surround sound settings, in the same way that there is a ‘Music Playback’ Option that can be switched from ‘Ambient’ to ‘Full’.Often times for movies, it would better to have the surround sound speakers actually push through vocals/w...

Speakers in more than on zone

Is it possible to have speakers in multiple groupings? Essentially I have the Sonos surround set up in my living room with a Playbar, sub and 2 Play 3s for the back channels.

Useful "hack" for Beam for volume control

Hi guys, So, when the TV is off, HDMI-CEC is of no use, and you can't control the volume with the remote of your TV. By sacrificing HDMI-CEC, you lose the option turn off TV, and some other useful bits, BUT... if you program the IR sensor to work with your TV's remote, you can use it for volume co...
