Hello. I want to buy wireless speakers that I can connect wirelessly to play audio from a smart TV. Can the Play:1 or the Sonos One do this without me needing to buy a soundbar also?

Hello, I noticed that my beautiful sonos subwoofer is not as shiny as it used to be, due to surface scratches. Nothing awful, but definitely noticeable. What kind of products could I use to remove them? Meguiars G17216 Ultimate Compound seems to have great reviews on amazon regarding surface scratches. Would it be safe to try it on the subwoofer? What have you guys tried?

When my playbar is sitting on top of the entertainment center and I use the TV volume control it works fine. When I rotate the playbar to mount it on the wall, the remote no longer works to adjust the volume. Thoughts?

Planning to buy a Playbase and sub this week. Already have the 2 Play 1's. While I've done a search and realize there's plenty of suggestions for HDMI switches, I was hoping someone could review my setup and confirm an HDMI switch that would work for me. I have a Samsung UN55D6050 TV from 2011. Unfortunately upon checking manual, it will not pass 5.1 from the HDMI inputs. The TV input will pass 5.1, however I don't use the built in Smart TV. I understand an HDMI switch can resolve this issue. I have 5 devices I use with my TV: 1) Cable Box (HDMI) 2) Blu-Ray Player (HDMI) 3) AppleTV (HDMI) 4) Roku (HDMI) 5) Wii (Component) I use a harmony remote to control all devices with one remote. If I purchase an HDMI switch that supports ARC I should be good right? Will the audio from the Wii get passed via ARC to HDMI switch and out the Playbase as well? Or will I need an HDMI switch that also has component inputs? And can someone recommend a few different options for these

Is Sonos planning to update the "look" and sound quality of the playbar?

We are remodeling our home & we are interested in mounting the Play 3 or Play 5 Sonos speakers in the ceiling or inside the walls. The front of the speaker would show through the ceiling or walls but would be flush with the wall or ceiling. We have the Power and Cat 6 in the ceiling & wall.

Can I connect a Sonos Playbase with my other sonos speakers just for music or do I have to have it connected to a tv to use it?

Hello all, is there any way to lock the Playbar into music mode?. When I am streaming my own music or internet radio and my lad is on his XboxOne sometimes when he changes games the Playbar switches back to TV mode on it's own?. Had a look around the app and can't see any auto-switching options?. Over the moon with the Playbar, bought it for tv and music and it's exceeded all expectations!.

Can I create surround sound set up with the playbase and two sonos one's but no sub woofer?

Hello to all, since with XBox one S I have the possibility to send a 5.1 uncompressed audio, is the playbar / playbase able to manage a 5.1 uncompressed audio file? Does the optical connection support this kind of signal? Thanks

Have a cramped room for surround sound set up.. Is it possible to use 1 mono speaker in rear instead of two paired stereo speakers in rear? Will sonos let me configure this way?? J

I have a pair of Sonos One's setup to play with my TV and they crackle a lot. Diag# 7948200

Is there a way to listen to music while I play a game on XBox? I'll start a song on Pandora through the Sonos app and as soon as I press a button on the XBox controller it switches audio back to XBox.

This is going to sound extremely dumb, but here goes....Is there any way to disable the volume controls on the Playbase itself? One of my cats has taken upon sitting on it while I watch TV. Just by sitting there, he is able to change the volume. It isn't that big of a deal, but if I fall asleep while watching TV, it can scare the pants off of me. And no, I wont get rid of the cat:D

Hi, I have the Sonos 5.1 system which I have set up with my LG 4k oled and I can choose DD or PCM On the TV setup menu. My first question is What is the difference with DD and PCM? Can they both do output true 5.1? With PCM will I get a different sound from each speaker if the source I am Using can pass through? I was watching a film the other night which was in 5.1 and put my tv setup to DD and every 30 mins or so it went silent for a split second then worked again, I think this is more regarding the TV than the Sonos. PCM gives me true 5.1 then I will change. Any help is much appreciated. Riddick

I successfully installed Playbase a couple months ago. It is still working as a speaker, but has disappeared from the app. HOw do I get it back?

Hello to all, I'm wondering to buy a playbar (truly still haven't decided yet between playbar and playbase). I have a B6V LG OLED TV with a central stand, not wall mounted, so my question are: 1) Should I choose a playbar or playbase - which sounds better, paired with the Sonos SUB? 2) If I will choose the Playbar, after trueplay, are there any big differences between installing it wall mount and tabletop? Question #2 is important because, in any case, I will NOT mount the playbar on wall. If I will chose the playbar, I thank to buy together with Flexson playbar stand in order to let the playbar became a base for my TV. Thanks in advance for your support.

New to this forum and what I would like to ask is my old Pioneer plasma 5080xd compatable with the Sonos Playbar, Does anyone have the same setup,all answers would be very much appreciated, Kind Regards Bob

Hi folks. Sorry if there’s an answer elsewhere. I have the Panasonic EX750b tv, as a result of turning off the speakers you get an annoying Speakers Off notice every time you adjust the volume. Anyone got a solution to removing the notice?

Ok I got the playbase and sub. Can hook up left and right fronts and left and right surrounds? I wanted to use two play 5’s as left right fronts and then purchase 2 play 1’s for the rear surrounds. :?

I have CONNECT:AMP with a pair of speakers connected to my PlayBar in a surround sound mode. The Surround sound "sound" works OK, but not as great as I expected. However, when I turn it off through the various apps, my old settings do not return. In other words, I don't see my old CONNECT:AMP pair of speakers as a separate room. In my house I have five CONNECT:AMPS, two PLAY:1's and one PLAY:3 and I run the SOnos app on three platforms, all recently upgraded. Love all other aspects of my Sonos network, but this issue frustrates me. Any thoughts?

Hi there, I never have had a problem with my speakers before (My setup is Soundbar + SUB + 2xNEW Play:5s. After the update to the 6.3 for some reason the right or left surround cuts audio sporadically. They never cut at the same time. What I already tried to do. 1 – Shutdown my router, wait a while and turn it on again. (My router is the ASUS RT-AC5300) Since this didn’t work I went to the next step. 2 – Remove the surrounds speakers, remove the power cord of the speakers, wait a bit and reconfigure the surround speakers. It didn’t work also. The sound cuts are very brief something like 2-3s of no sound from the affected speaker, and let’s say that on an interval of 10 minutes this happens around 6 times. Someone has any other troubleshooting tips? What to do from here? Regards, Tiago

I just set up the Playbar. Initially, the remote controlled the TV volume, but after a few min, I cannot control the TV volume via either the TV remote or the Sonos app. I've been to the "changing TVs" link and it mentions going to Room Settings and then Change Remote. This is not a listed option under my Room Settings menu. Any idea how to update/reset the remote settings to enable the TV remote to control the Playbar volume?

I thinking of entering the Sonos world, I'd like to start with the Playbar acting as my only speaker system and expand the system later as required. What would I need to connect the Playbar to an analogue source in addition to the TV?

hello i have a panasonic TX-55CX400B and i can't find how to turn off the internal speakers, and also the sound bar identifies my remote. But will not sync correctly, does anyone know how to fix said issues?
