I'd suggest comparing the pages I referenced, and see if you have matching pages in your manual, and double check that the port exists. I can't think of any good reason why your manual and the one online is different, unless my search pulled up a manual that isn't really one that matches your TV.

According to page 67 of the manual I was able to google online, it has an optical output that states it puts out Dolby Digital. So it should be fine with the PLAYBAR. Page 68 seems to give you instructions on settings in the TV's audio setup.

Thank you Airgetiam for your kind response,have no wish to buy the sonos and find it was non compatible.

Understood.

In case you need to find the manual, the one I was referencing is here: https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_11221/461076353Product_Manual_PDP-4280HD_5080HD.pdf

Thank you again because i have the original manual but it does not seem to have a page 68.

This link gives the basic requirements for a set to work with the Sonos Play Bar or Base: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1931/kw/tv%20compatibility

According to the manual (see attachment) your sets Audio Out meets the basic requirement. Hopefully your remote is IR (Line of Sight) transmit. As it was manufactured around 2007 the remote is most likely IR.

Cheers!

I would presume that my manual PDP-5080XD would be the same set as 5080HD PDF.
