Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Very disappointed there is no DTS support. Half my Blue-Ray collection won't play. Returning all 5.1 Playbar equipment.

I am lucky that my TV passes through the ORIGINAL signal... But this is, with many BlueRay Disks, a DTS Signal, the Playbar can't handle!!!! TVs are not capable of recoding the original DTS signals from a BlueRay Player into DD 5.1... I am truly considering returning the Playbar together with the whole Sonos equipment, I bought for my house. It's quite too expensive to just play a 2.0 PCM downmix... And if I change to Teufel/Raumfeld Soundbar, I go all the way. Very disappointed!!! Best regards, Juergen
Just had a look at their website but all I can see are sound bars with 2 speakers?

The more I think about the DTS issue the more it nags me like an annoying mosquito bite. The onus to research the product before purchasing is definitely on me but I (naively) just assumed that a premium home theater item like the PLAYBAR would just support everything. I mean sheesh, the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox had DTS support. Apples and oranges perhaps but still... I didn't really realize it didn't support DTS until I played my first DTS Blu-ray and had no sound. By then the ten day return period from the mom and pop store I got it from had passed otherwise I probably would have returned it. It's even more aggravating since just about every new Blu-ray the English audio track is DTS-HD or MA. I really hope they add support for it through a firmware update otherwise I may sell mine on eBay or something and look for something else.

Andy, the product I'm taking about is the 'Cinebar 51 THX Streaming' bundle for 899,- EUR. It's the Cinebar 51 THX soundbar with 6 drivers for high & mid range and a corded active sub, both together a THX certified solution without rear speakers. This is bundled with a Raumfeld (by Teufel) connector² to use it for music, too. Unfortunately the Raumfeld connector² is not fully integrated into the soundbar and therefore adding wireless speakers to the soundbar as rear for a full 5.1 experience is not possible, but for music it works as good as the Sonos and also sounds much better, 'cause they offer a dedicated 'stereo mode' for listening to your music sources. Anyway the sound of the Raumfeld (by Teufel) wireless stereo speakers is blowing away the Sonos PLAY:3 and PLAY:5 easily, ‘cause Teufel is a very experienced supplier for mid- to high-end high fidelity speaker sets, too as you may recognize instantly on a first test. To be honest this system is also not a perfect solution to combine all your hifi stereo and 5.1 equipment into one, but it's at a minimum a good alternative solution for half the price. Therefore I’m still monitoring several Sonos PLAYBAR threads, ‘cause both systems are not a perfect match for my desired setup. Luckily I'm not in a customer lock-in situation, not to Sonos, not to Teufel and free to make a decision for a system as soon as one of the monitored suppliers offers 'my solution'.

no DTS = :- (

Dear Sonos, Was just about to purchase an additional Play 3, Sub and Playbar but after hearing (or not as the case will be) about the DTS issue I cant justify get the whole "5.1" setup if I wont be able to actually get true 5.1 - the fact that I would have to get an Optical Splitter further scuppers the deal 😞 Hope you heed all of the comments on here and get DTS added

I just returned my playbar. I am thinking about to sell all my equipment and get something else.

It got even worse last night when I suddenly realised that ALL of my PS3 games have DTS audio tracks so I would have to put up with "faked" 5.1 which begs the question, can Sonos please demonstrate how we can enjoy 5.1 Wireless Surround IF blu-rays with DTS are incompatiable, PS3 games with DTS are incompatiable and XBOX 360 games with DTS also. Is this system setup only for Sky HD with Dolby connected via Optical, I cant see any other usage where we will get true 5.1 Dissapointed. I was going to throw down £1500+ to complete the system but without DTS it will now be £0

Think this feature has been under consideration for too long!? Vote for this: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/implement_customers_good_ideas_more_quickly

I agree, was ready to purchase today, but with no dts, most of my media is unplayable. Disappointing.
