Home theater

Can i add my home theater speakers attached to my Denon X3400H av receiver to my sonos network, there is a spare digital audio socket (says CD) on receiver, if i connect to this will i be able to control streaming from my sonos app to speakers connected to AV receiver?

Using AEON-45200 Universal Cantilever Mount, with AEON-90200 Sound Bar Bracket to attach Sonos Playbar.  AEON instructions (yes I admit to reading instructions) state to attach sound bar to bracket with screws provided by sound bar manufacturer. There were no screws with PlayBar and it appears that the PlayBar backs not designed for screws. ++ Do I need to purchase the Playbar Wall Mount Kit tp attach PlayBar to Aeon sound bar bracket ? ++ Thanks Joe

I would love to replace my Onkyo av receiver and my Sonos connect with the new amp. However it only has outputs for 2 speakers and a sub. It would have been amazing if it had front left and right and rear left and right outputs to streamline my setup. Edit: input to output (thanks @pwt) d’oh

Hi, my playbar is just 3 years old, been working fine the whole time and after recently moving house, I have setup the same equipment as before, OLED55TV, apple TV, router, cable TV box - everything in the same setup and now I am getting a high pitched noise from the playbar, It still plays music OK, but you can hear the high pitched noise behind the TV or music sound. It is very annoying - like tinnitus!! I have seen many posts on this community and seems it is a known problem. I have done a factory reset as instructed on the other many posts about this topic and the sound goes away and then comes back during the setup.

I currently have a playbar and two older play 3s that work great in other places in the house. First question: should I use these Play 3s as the rear speakers with the playbar or purchase to play 1s? Second question: if I use the play 3s as the rears with my playbar is that enough base where I won’t need the sub? Thanks!

Hi all, I've recently finished having my home refurbished and now time has turned to updating the sound... Each bathroom and hall way i've wall level cables ready for sonos ONE's. Additionally I'll add a Sonos ONE to my bedroom. So thats four Sonos ONE's required. Next though and the biggest dilemma I have is in the open plan living room. The room is 9.4m x 7m so its a pretty big space. Its also a minimalist space and I'd like as far as possible to keep it this way. I have a record player on a unit under the TV and this needs to be connected to the new Sonos system. I read the best way is to use a PLAY:5 as this will allow me to use headphones? The headphones need to be able to run wireless, so potentially I'm wrong and a connect or connect:amp would be best for this? Now i don't mind dropping the money on a PLAY:5 and adding 2 more PLAY ONES for rear surround whilst watching movies but does this work or is it only the PLAYBars that can effectively give surround? If so

I would like to set up the Playbar but take advantage of older KEF subwoofer and bookshelves I have to have a complete 5.1 system. So I have been thinking of getting a Connect:AMP and connect to it the subwoofer and the 2 bookshelves. Would this Connect:AMP system work in sync and in low latency with the Playbar to complete a 5.1 experience?

Would be interested in SONOS developing a new product for wirelessly connecting TVs via the TV optical output. The device would be simplified version of the connect product that is powered by the TVs USB ports. This would allow all SONOS products to be used as output devices for the new generation smart TVs. This would be a full 5Ghz connections and not Bluetooth. I would expect that would be great consumer interest for current SONOS product owners.

Hi, I have a question regarding the coming new AMP. I´d like to make a surround system with the new AMP as left/right and digital connected SUB and, here is the question, a Sonos:AMP as supporting cable installed rear speakers. This is possible with Playbar/playBase/Beam, but with the new AMP?. Secondly, would it be even greater to use a Beam as center, cabled left/right/Sub by AMP and Sonos:AMP cabled rear?

Hi, can you tell me if my LG TV Model # 50-LB5900-UV is compatible with the Sonos Beam? I've been working on it for hours and the only thing it plays is the music from my phone but doesn't connect to my TV. Please let me know.

I have just bought a new tv. It has no analogue out sockets (it has a digital optical out and hdmi2) and the Connect only seems to have Analogue in sockets (because the digital optical also says it’s out). Does anyone know what sort of cable I should get as I’m desperate to get my Play1 speakers to work with new TV. Thank you

How can i use bluetooth headphones with a Playbar so, while watching TV, the audio goes only to the headphones and does not play through the Playbar?

Hallo, I purchased the new Sonos Beam today. My TV is a OLED LG65C7V. I have used the included HDMI from Sonos to connect my Beam to the HDMI2 (ARC)-port on the TV. To watch TV (regular broadcasting channels) I use a digital box from my broadcaster GET (Norway). This is connected to the HDMI1 on my TV. When I'm watching TV with my Beam, there is a lip sync fail. I had no issue with this before the Beam. However, when I now watch Netflix (with the integrated smart-OS on the TV), there is less or non problem with lip sync. Anyone have a solution for how I can fix the lip sync when watching regular broadcasting TV? Please let me know if you need more information about my setup (not an expert in this). Regards, Magnus

Hi, Just a heads up, I have discovered that Netflix on Sky Q does not output Dolby 5.1, only Stereo, via optical. I have a room with a Playbar with surrounds set up directly to a Sky Q Mini and noticed I was not getting 5.1 when viewing Netflix, but native Sky Programs were fine. On my Beam, connected to the Main Sky box via TV and HDMI ARC both native sky and Netflix are in 5.1 So I moved the beam to a different Mini box and it works via Arc... changed it to optical direct and no 5.1 on Netflix only native sky programs. Back to the main TV and connected it via optical and same results no 5.1 for Netflix. I have reported it to Sky, so hopefully they will fix it. I thought I should post here in case anyone is wondering what is going on.

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a Philips 55POS9002, but want to be sure it works with my playbar and 5.1 setup. Has anyone here had any experience with this particular TV? Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't seem to find anything via search or in the megathread.

Beam is breaking up / is crunchy / there is static nois

Is there a configuration of Sonos Products that would produce a Dolby Atmos sound ?

Was very frustrated with this for a long time as well but finally figured it out through trial and error. The challenge is in the Audio output format. Not all programs recognize auto so if you change it Dolby Digital 5.1 instead of Auto Select audio, the dialogue will come through. Although it is not as good and there is a slight lag... at least there is sound. For example on apply TV. Go to Settings Audio Output. and Select Dolby Digital 5.1.

want to controll the speakers individually for sound in the room. the beam itself is loud and great sound the small speakers in the back of the room for sound need to be turned up without turning up the beam cant figure it out.

Why can't I switch between using bluetooth headphones and sonos beam without beam switching back on?

My playbar is working with the TV but not showing up on my app....my surround sound speakers (2 Play 1's) not working or showing up on app but have a white light and keeps saying speakers have already been set up. Just want it to work!

I have the 5.1 Playbar, sub, 2 play ones in my living room/theater. I want a sub and a play 5 in another area to stand alone or play simultaneously for music, is that possible?

I see that when I turn my tv to the HDMI input that my beam is connected to, it cycles through a screen saver with a handful of black and white images. Is there any way to get a visualizer on screen to sync with my music?

My TV only has a digital audio output - if I use a converter to connect my TV to the Playbar, will there be any negative impact on what I get out of the Playbar? My TV Is a Mitsubishi DLP Model WD 65638.

If you use the optical adapter, is it still possible to get 5.1 sound? The product page says PCM stereo and Dolby Digital...but not Dolby Digital 5.1. Thx!
