Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

That statement is not true. If you hook up your Blu-ray player to your TV, the TV to the playbar and play a Blu-ray with a DTS audio track it just will not work. I guess I'm lucky in that my TV passes Dolby Digital 5.1, too bad just about every Blu-ray now only has a DTS English track. Unless I want to watch every movie in Spanish.

Just bought a playbar unaware of the Lack of DTS support. No sound on all of my movies played via the plex client on my LG tv unless I use the tv speakers rendering my playbar an expensive wall ornament. Please sonos DTS is a must have that needs to be added ASAP.

I've got the same problem with the Plex client on my Samsung SmartTV (PS51D8090). It's very disappointing.

I just had a look into my crystal ball that told me that in about six months DTS support will be implemented. And all those like Bernd who have returned their equipment in favour of some competitor will be sorry then! No, seriously, I want DTS too, but give the Sonos guys some time to get it right. Just yelling at them won't do any good. And as we can see from the past, they were implementing some new features into already existing products, so they seem to care about existing customers, too.
@frieder SONOS customers have waited years (and are still waiting) for things that are 'under consideration'.

It seems to me Sonos don't give a damn about their customers. The only way they are going to listen to their existing/prospective Playbar customers, is to send the equipment back for a refund/not purchase until they have got DTS on the Playbar. HDMI would be the best way to go forward on Playbar:2.

The lack of DTS support is a major oversight. Unfortunately I did not catch this before I made the purchase. I even spoke with a Sonos Sales Rep at Best Buy and they led me to believe it supported "all the major audio technologies" after I had asked if it supported Dolby/DTS. (Shame on me for taking their word?) Like everyone before me, the majority of my movie collection is encoded in DTS. The Playbar sounds fantastic when using Dolby Digital but it's truly a shame that I can't experience the Playbar's full potential because it does not support DTS. Help us out Sonos....

Which bestbuy?

Not only the lack of DTS decoding is a design flaw... After contacting the support departments of some major TV brands, I found out, that there will be ALWAYS problems getting a valid surround signal using the optical output. The idea of taking the TV to switch sources and take the audio output signal the TV delivers as only source is a good one in itself, BUT: All TV manufacturers seem to support the idea of using HDMI ARC as a digital OUTPUT!!!!! Reason is the HDMI/HDCP copy protection, which, when implemented correctly, prevents the audio and video signal from being delivered to an output without copy protection (optical output!). Only a HDMI (ARC) output can fulfill this requirement! I suppose, that SONOS should not only implement DTS by software, but also HAS TO re-design the soundbar and install a HDMI input using ARC!!!!!! COME ON SONOS, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!! And also think of the customers already having a playbar at home!!!!! The best way would be to create some kind of adapter using HDMI in as an add-on to the playbar. You promised a flawless system design everybody bought with great expectations, BUT...??? P.S. Sorry for my faulty english, I'm German

Many thanks for this detailed information about HDMI/HDCP copy protection. If I got it right, from a license perspective it's impossible to have properly licensed and therefore legal 5.1 transcoding support for HDMI/HDCP copy protected content delivered to any optical output, regardless of the device type or content source, ‘cause the optical output cannot handle copy protected content by design ? If the content is HDMI/HDCP copy protected it’s not allowed, not licensed, maybe illegal to deliver it via any optical output ? Unfortunately the only option to connect an existing PLAYBAR is just a single optical input. Another deal breaker; maybe one of the most important, ‘cause it's about licensing and copy protection and therefore not solvable with just a few new bits and bytes delivered in a software update. I’m filled with indignation.

@Bernd: I get Dolby Digital 5.1 through the optical out of my TV to the PLAYBAR when it's passed from the source (cable box, PS3, Wii U, 360). Of course no DTS but here's hoping this thread will push Sonos to add it. Soon.
