Home theater

To whom this may concern, I had set up my playbase with the TV, 2 Play 1s and the sub. Everything was working until I noticed only the playbase was working. Went to my reconfigure everything and it has stopped working entirely. Will not connect to WiFi and will not even set up. I hear the chime, and then nothing. Please help. Not in a room where I can hard wire the unit. Diagnostic confirmation - 1245882624

I have a Playbase connected to an LG tv. When I initially setup the system I paired the Sky TV remote to Sonos and turned off the TV speakers as instructed and it all worked fine. However, now it's stopped working and I have to use the app to control the TV volume. I have tried to pair the original TV remort with the Playbase and, whilst the app tells me it's been recognised, that doesnt work either. I've read through the Topics on here and wider on the internet and tried various things like restting the Sky remote (from the Sky help pages) but to no avail. Can you help ?

I would like to be able to toggle the speech and night mode features of the playbar off and on from my remote; I would like to be able to assign an unused key to toggle these on and off without needed to go to my iPad or phone. Thanks

If it support, I will buy a playable immediately. But...

Hi, Is there any plan to put time schedule for night mode in playbar? I'm using the sonos sub with the playbar, and if I forgot where I put iphone while turning on the tv, it's waking up my kids! the feature is useful but rubbish due to no smart setting (time schedule of mapping in logitech harmony remote)

Hi all, I hope some of you clever guys can help me with some input on how to set up a Sonos system, that will be great at booth playing stereo music from my turntable as well as sorrundsound from my TV. So there's two areas to address here: Sound from turntable in living room: I want The best possible stereo sound from my turntable. Therefore I am thinking about connecting it to a Sonos connect and then into a stereo amplifier and then into some floor speakers. Having a connect in the middle enables me to send the sound to the rest of the house, and having a amp connected to larger floor speakers ensures good sound in the room Surround sound from tv in living room: I have a tv connected to an Apple tv. I can then connect it to a sound bar that is on the Sonos Network so I can have booth a sub and rear speakers connected. In the attached image I have tried to sketch out setup that might be able to do it, but I'm not sure this is the best way, or if there is a better way.

Are there plans for SONOS to add support for a 7.1 system (i.e., Playbase or Playbar + Sub + four Play 1's)?

I have a Panasonic TX-50EX700B with Netflix built in, connected to my playbase. Normally there’s no issues at all, Sky and freeview audio play through it with no problems. However, when I try and watch Netflix, the audio is really temperamental. As in, it will play audio normally for one show, but if I go back and try to watch a different show, no sound at all. The only thing that seems to resolve it is turning everything off at the wall and leaving it for 5 minutes. Anyone else had this issue? Anyone know how the hell I fix it??

I followed SONOS's article about pairing LG Magic Remote to control TV audio using SONOS Soundbase. The magic remote still works, but it does not control volume anymore. Oddly I need to use my Apple TV remote to control volume on the Soundbase. Anyone else experience this problem and come up with a fix?

Hi guys, quick question. I've recently set up my bar/sub via WiFi and wish to use the two Ethernet ports on the bar to connect to a wired device, is this possible? Thanks.

Hello all! I'm currently looking into getting a Sonos 5.1 system but not sure if I should go with the Playbar or the Playbase. I do like the look of the Playbase a lot more as they're available in white and the fact that I don't have to mount it to the wall is a bonus, but my Sony 65 inch TV is listed as 96lb. The listed weight limit on the Playbase is at 77lb. Has anyone ever tried placing a TV that's heavier than 77lb over the Playbase? Thanks! Si

Following these instructions can not get the LG magic remote volume control to work with the Playbase. When using the Sonos app and get to the part of pushing the mute button 3 times it says "No button press has been detected from the remote control". https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4267/kw/magic Would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

I bought a Bose SoundTouch 300 and didn’t realize you can only connect one device to the SoundTouch. I connected my TV. Is there any solution where I can use my Sonos Connect that doesn’t involve disconnecting my TV and connecting the Sonos Connect via the optical on the Bose SoundTouch?

Hi I am remodeling my house and want to use SONOS soundbar and subwoofer. I am interested in getting a 75" inch TV (prefer one of the QLED Samsung versions), but seen some posts about compatibility of one remote with sound bar. I also am designing two in ceiling speakers for rear sound. There will be 2 in the rear family room and 2 in the kitchen connected to a Sonos connect amp which is connected to the soundbar for 5.1 surround sound...These are my questions 1. Which 75" inch Samsung or other manufacturer TV will give be best compatibility with the soundbar. Is the One Remote issue for controlling the soundbar volume a showstopper or can it be resolved. Do I need to have the one connect box? 2. Which in ceiling speakers connected to the SONOS connect amp are best for the rear sound. I have 11ft high ceilings and a great room. Any input on best performance...willing to spend $300/speaker 3. Can I play music over the 4 speakers independent of the TV surround sound if I want.

My Sonos Play 3 wireless speakers and my wireless sub cut out intermittently while the TV is playing. I have NOT noticed this problem when I'm playing music from my phone. My TV has a soundbar which continues to play, but my Play 3s and the sub cut off for about a minute. I've read your article on wifi interferences and my bridge, my sub, my soundbar, and my 2 Play3s are more than 1 foot away from a router and from each other. I've changed the Sonos Net channel to 1, 6, and 11 and the problem still occurs at any of those settings. My soundbar is connected to TV via s audio cable, bridge is connected via Ethernet cable, and everything else is wireless. I've submitted diagnostic and it gave me this message "Your confirmation number is: 2111889170." Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased the LG UP970 4K bluray player and was starting to play the Dark Knight in 4K and the audio wasn't playing through my playbar, sub and surround setup. I did research a found that it outputs DTS which the playbar doesn't support. I am using an HDMI for the audio out and was wondering if an HDMI audio converter/switcher would work for my situation. I have found this product, https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Extractor-Converter-Passthrough/dp/B074HHSJVN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8, but wasn't quite sure whether it would be able to fix the problem.

Have Sonos considered to add a simulated surround sound to the playbase. A numberof other manufactured now have this

Just trying to figure out how to engage Community to push sonos for atmos implementation.

Sonos not working with LG OLED TV

I have the full 5.1 including the playbar, sub and two Play:1 speaker. Can I add a third Play:1 speaker to enhance sound watching movies, etc?

I recently purchased a PLAYBASE and would like feedback on whether adding the SUB vs 2 ONES would offer more sound improvement, given my apartment space and listening priorities. 1. TV audio output, in the form of shows, sports, and movies (mainly Netflix) will be the main use of the speakers. I'd estimate the usage breakdown is something like 75% Home Theatre / 25% Streaming Music. 2. The shape of my apartment's main room / kitchen is a long rectangle. I've sketched a crude diagram of the apartment to offer some added context. I've identified the position of my sofa, the PLAYBASE, and where the 2 ONES would be located. The main room is basically two 12'x12' rooms that are combined with a 2 foot pillar in the middle. This leads to suboptimal acoustics. 3. My TV is a LG OLED65B7A.

Somehow I have an itch about getting a projector to replace my TV. The above projector reviews very well with the Ultra Short Throw capability being extremely helpful. The question is. Does anybody know if this projector passes through Dolby Digital 5.1? I'm guessing (and hoping) that it does. I currently use optical outs from my satellite pvr, BT Box and TV but it is a slight pain to have to have to change the selector manually and it is currently stuffed behind the TV so not ideal. All thoughts gratefully received.

Incredibly frustrating. Trying to use Sonos PLAYBAR + SUB + 2 PLAY 1s for home theater. Have tried it on two different TVs (Samsung & Vizio) with HDMI inputted content (cable box & DVD player), also with internal apps native to each TV. No matter what there's a millisecond delay between video lip flap and sound coming through the Sonos system. Before you ask, yes of course I've tried every possible way to adjust sound sync using both the settings within the Sonos app and also within the TV menus. I've read every Sonos forum post on it, and it's never conclusive and only offers suggestions to do what I've already tried. And believe me: I've tried it all. Anyone? I had high hopes for Sonos because I can't run wires in my house to the particular area I need the surround speakers to be. Alas nothing's working and the only remaining to do is return the whole thing. Disappointed! (Kevin Sorbo voice)

Does the Playbar support LG OLED55C7V?

Hi all I am writing this post in the hope it may help those struggling with the above issue(s). The first topic which appears on this in Google is the post at https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/solving-the-51-dts-issues-with-the-playbar-34523, which is now out of date. For my part I wanted to set out what I did to "resolve" this issue (or more accurately, work around it). Since the above post, Sonos have written a few useful notes. The most helpful is: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1945/~/maximizing-playbar-sound-from-your-television. A further note deals with the XBOX work around (https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2490/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xNDQxMjA4NzE0L3NpZC9JdER6cXR2bQ%3D%3D) and another provides the details for PS4 (https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3075/related/1).
