Can sonos soundbar work with Sony KD - 55X8005C

Has anyone figured out how to disable speakers on a Haier 55" 55E5500U

Hardware registration, Sonos account information, and the Sonos forum are all handled by the same software - Insided. Given that after 2 weeks this software is still incapable of rejecting spam, how secure is our account and registration information? Is it possible that all Sonos speakers could be hacked using Mirai or similar to become part of a botnet used in DDOS attacks?

I've currently got packed up in boxes my new 5.1 system and wondered when I do get moved and unpacked whether I need anything to play my Spotify music through the system? Is it simply a case of linking my phone with the system and playing, or is it a little more complicated than that? Thanks

So... For some reason you can't set the rear speakers (in my case two play 3some paired with the playbar in a 5.1 setup) to duplicate the front L/R signal when watching TV. Frustrating. Its nice to be able to do that so you can keep the vplume relatively low and still hear the voices on shows/movies. Sonos needs to either: Add a toggle to move quickly between surround sound or full stereo, OR allow us to drop more money on speakers and pair them with the soundbar as front L/R signal. For $2300 this is a simple feature that $300 units usually have. Come on guys 😉

I have a Samsung HD tv. Model # UN55D6005SF. My tv does not have the "D" shaped audio output port, only the mini single male optical cable port. I tried a toslink to mini optical cable to connect my tv to my playbar, but it did NOT work. I routed through the cable box, but now that limits me to what I'm watching on cable. Any suggestions on how to get a connection b/t my tv and playbar directly?

Can speaker powered by Connect:Amp be paired with Playbar and SUB to create 5.1 surround sound? I've heard that Play:5 don't work, while Play:3 will. No info out there on integration with Connect:Amp.

With Play 3 and Play 5, a sub counts as a zone within the 32 zone limit. I've heard a rumor that with Playbar, this is not the case. Is it true that you can have 32 home theaters with sub, surrounds and playbar in each room?

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321740736081 Would this get 5.1 sound from my tv and ps4 and switch automatically? Presume when the ps4 is on if I tell it to go through optical no signal will come out of this tv ?

Can you please, please, produce the Sub in white as well. Would love to add it to my system, but not in black!! Would also consider the Playbar, but only in white of course. Please be as consistent in offering a consistent visual experience as you do for the sound and easy to install experience. Really don't understand the concept of the Sonos color scheme today!

I use a Yamaha AV receiver (RX-V2700) that I like very much. I feed my Apple TV, DVD and Cable Box to my TV by an HDMI cable providing surround sound from them all. In addition, I have a turntable that also feeds audio to my current SS speaker system. I am considering using some Sonos speakers to replace my current speakers. Can the Playbar based surround system work with the optical output from my Yamaha AV receiver, allowing me to use all of my devices?

Just a split second out! Thank you.

Hi, Just picked up a Playbar from Amazon which is arriving today - been doing some reading around on the whole DD5.1 vs DTS support argument. I'm not precious over exactly what format my audio is in, but eventually I'll be adding 5.1 support by adding a sub and some rear speakers so I'm looking for the easiest/best way of achieving true 5.1 surround from my living room setup. I have a Panasonic AS650B TV, hooked up to an Amazon Fire TV (new one supporting 5.1), and an LG BP556 blu-ray player. The playbar is replacing a Philips Fidelio B5 which I've had a lot of issues with, but it did take all the inputs and handle all the audio decoding etc seamlessly so I didn't need to worry about it at all. So my main question is, how do I ensure that I get 5.1 surround whenever possible using my current setup? The manual for my TV states that there are 2 options for audio output via SPDIF - Auto and PCM. Auto states that DD, DD Plus, HE-AAC multi-channel are all output as DD bitstream, a

So I have a collection of MKV movies with 5.1ch DTS-HD. I play them from various USB. I just hooked up my Sonos surround sound. The back two speakers are not getting any action when playing these files. I researched from about 20 mins but couldn't find a thread with this exact issue. How can I get the surround sound to work? Thanks!

Hi, I have a playbar + sub, and I am thinking of making a full 5.1 system using either Play:1's or Play:3's. I have done a lot of reading on the forum, and a common comment is that when you have two Play:1's bonded with a sub, two Play:3's with a sub provide very little value add because the main benefit of the Play:3 is the bass, which the sub would provide anyway. Now, I know that in a 5.1 setup, and when I have the 'full' setting for music the rear speakers will act as a full stereo pair. What is not clear to me, is how they will leverage the sub? In particular, will they use the sub in exactly the same way as they would if the playbar was not present? On a related note, we have a very open floor plan, where the living area (with the TV + playbar + sub) and the dining area and the kitchen is one large space. The rear speakers would be in the 'middle' of this large room, around 5-7 feet away from the sitting area where we watch TV. When playing music, the hope is that they will

I have a soundbar and love it. When listening to a dts track it cone though as stereo, still sounds good. I was wondering, it dts a hardware of software upgrade. If t Sonos were ever to release a soundbar 2 which had the ability to decode dts, and knowing how good sonos are with backgrading their support for software, it is possible for this to be added to the playbar by way of software upgrade or is it a hardware thing making that impossible?

Playbar sound won't stop after TV is turned off.

We have a soundbar and a pair of Play 3's right and left behind the sofa where we normally sit, and on wood flooring pointed 45-deg to the television. The two Play 3's are not really hidden, but are at grade level rather than at head level (spousal "I don't want to see those things" problem). The surround setting is set at 100%. My question: short of adding a Sub (again, spousal permission denied), is there any setting to improve both the surround effects and the bass effects from this set up. Arnold Falk Stans Switzerland

When I try to add any track to my Sonos playlist from Deezer / Soundcloud etc, I get a error message saying 'Unabke to add "[song name] to your "[playlist name]" playlist. This happens on my iPhone 5S and MacBook Pro Why is this and how do I fix it? 

Just got a Playbar, Sub is enroute. Trying to kill multiple birds with one Sonostone. Playbar is great for TV, not bad for music. One thing I'd like is a wider stereo stage for music listening. Wondering if I can add a pair of 1s (or 3s or 5s) as L-R speakers to augment the Playbar. Not talking about surround rears (and 5.1), but rather what would amount to a 3.1+ setup.

RIGHT! I have a PlayBar and two Play 1's All I want to connect to the PlayBar is my TV, a PS4 and a PC (nettop). My Samsung TV has an optical port out but it looks like this is just giving out a stereo signal. The PS4 has an Optical out also so if I connect this directly to the PlayBar I get the dolby signal. This is the back of the PC I have,it just has an HDMI which I use to the TV and an audio out spot which is just the size of a headphone jack. http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2015/01/acer-revo-one-rl85_6-100538371-orig.jpg What kind of connector would I need to get this all set up? Honestly I'm not too bothered about the TV coming through the PlayBar, the kind of shows I watch using normal TV channels probably wouldn't be improved much with the PlayBar! But I'd really like my PC and PS4 to be hooked up at the same time if possible? Would prefer not to be ne swapping the cable round too as Ive broken optical cables before!! Anyway to this this wit

Hi I have an LG TG and also SKY Q. When trying to watch a UHD channel, I get no sound from the Soundbar? Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks TT

I've seen this topic in the Community asked and discussed in over 100 different ways (OK maybe not 100; but it sounds good for effect) :8 Although I'm not an engineer... I get why Sonos probably isn't going to make it possible to mute the volume of other speakers that are not BONDED; but GROUPED to the Playbar via the same remote that controls it (when watching TV). For those of us who already own Sonos it's not just a matter of a firmware upgrade. BMWOT Sonos would have to design each speaker with an RF and/or BT receptor. IR would not work because it requires line-of-sight. There are other concerns for RF and BT signals but this is not the venue for that discussion. But even if Sonos were to make it happen (which someday they may) there is no way to grandfather existing Sonos speakers already in the field. To do so would require a massive recall/retrofit; which IMO would not be cost-effective for either side (i.e. Sonos or existing owners) However, there's a work-a-roun

Hi y'all, new to Sonos and buying a new home, so appreciate the help here. I am looking to add a system so I can improve sound on TV plus be able to hear TV in other rooms; kitchen, living room and dining room; especially during sporting events. If I install a Playbar to my TV, and then put a Play:1 or Play:3 in the kitchen, living room and dining room, will I be able to hear the TV in those other rooms? Do I need any other equipment other than a Playbar and Play1/3s for each room in order to do this? Thanks for guidance!

I have recently bought two Play1 speakers and am now looking for the best setup of my Sonos system. I have a Playbar (below my TV), two Play:1s and two Play:5s. My plan is to mount two speakers on the wall were my TV is located (left and right from the Playbar) and remaining two on the wall on the other side of the room (around 3,5m behind the “listener”). The speakers will be mounted relatively high on the wall and I plan to use Flexson wallmounts so I can “aim” them a bit down. Would you advise me to place the Play:1’s next to the TV in a stereo setup or use the Play:5’s for that?. The living room is around 4 meters wide and 7,5 long with the TV located on the small part and the sitting area located roughly in the top half of the room only. Al tips about placement or wall mounting are welcome. Erik
