Excited to see hear about the Playbase. Particularly as the Playbar is too wide to fit in the alcove my TV sits in.

I already own a Play5 and would like to know if it can be set up effectively to work with the Playbase. The marketing material only talks about using it with a Play1 and Subwoofer.

Hi, apologies for joining the string a little late, but just at the point of wanting to update my TV surround sound system and want to go wireless. I currently own just a Play 5. So, if I purchase a Playbase and 2 x Play 1s as my surround speakers, will this just give me tv sound. How do I listen to my music and is my Play 5 now redundant in this set up? Sorry for sounding a bit naïve, but not very techy, but want to get the right wireless set up. Thanks

A Playbase and two Play:1's will give you surround sound for your TV. The Play:5 is not redundant, it can still be used in another room. You can listen to music through the Playbase, with the option of having the surrounds be ambient or full volume. You can also listen over the Play:5, or group the two rooms together to play in sync.
