Home theater

I currently have the playbar, but I cannot use it in the main room of the new house without ruining the look of a custom built in bookcase/wall unit. The TV just fits into the spot so I am left with few options. I have the sub which I want to use in the setup and I do not need surround. I do want center channel. Has anyone used play 1, play 3 or play 5s as the left, right and center or a combination of them? Nate

Hi everyone, Need some advice here. I'm building a house and I'm planning of purchasing Playbar with Sub. What are my options for surround sounds? I already own a Play:1 and was thinking to get another one to set them up as surrounds. But for a logistic point of view I would be interested to know if it's possible to add in-ceiling speakers and to set them up as L+R surrounds? What will I need to purchase to have that set up? I currently own a Yamaha receiver RX-V 2073 (and an RXN600) that I haven't sold yet that I could use perhaps as pre-amps if need be but I've grown tired of cables ratness hence I'm switching to Sonos. Does the Playbar have only optical as input or it also has an HDMI? Thanks for your help, Pat Australia

Hi, I have had a playbar for about 6 weeks. Ultimately I caved in and bought a SUB to go with it today. It sounds great, but I have a question. The Playbar + SUB is a 3.1 system. However, the audio into the playbar is 'Stereo' according to the Sonos app. When I set my DVR to output surround sound, I see Dolby 5.1 as an input to the playbar according to the app. The audio quality becomes softer with this setting. Is this because the rear speakers sound is completely lost? Or will the playbar 'downsample' the 5.1 input onto the 3.1 setup? Put in other words, what is a better input for a 3.1 system? 'Stereo' or 'Dolby 5.1'? Thanks, Apurva

I can't connect LG magic remote control model 55LA****, any idea on how to fix this, I don't have the normal remote. thanks

I am setting up a small media room (10’ x 20’) solely for the purpose of watching movies and television, as we already have a separate audio setup for music for other rooms (a few AirPlay Bowers & Wilkens A7s, and a Nakamichi SoundSpace 8 connected to an Apple Airport Express). I have been considering a Sonos 5.1 setup as we need a 5.1 audio system to pair with our TV, and we do not need any additional music streaming services for this room - simply a decent 5.1 audio system that will work well with our television and streaming devices. My wife would prefer an audio system that could be controlled by our TV or PVR’s IR remote, and can be set to power on/off automatically with the television (Sonos can do this as well). We have purchased a 75” 4K Sharp Aquos LC-75N8000U (https://www.sharptvusa.com/tvs/4k/lc-75n8000u), and connected devices will include: Apple TV 4 64GB for streaming 1080p movies from computer, as well as AirPlay Mirroring fro

A Sonos customer suggested: metal grill instead of a fabric cover for the Sonos PLAYBAR. Leave your support here.

I have a Yamaha Digital Stage Piano and just sold my PA speakers. I want to know if I can run a line-out from the keyboard into either the Play 5 or a PlayBar line-in to use it as an amp for the home (nothing ridiculously loud). I have had latency issues with past systems (tried doing the same thing through a Bose Solo and there was a small lag between key-strikes and sound coming out of the speaker). Is this possible, or will I experience delays?

I've used the Sonos device for a few hours now. I love it. I love it a lot. I wonder if they are making the next version of this device to support video streaming.. you must.. you must.. :) And, make it cool like you do. Go Sonos !!! -Anil
