Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Just stopped my Playbar order when this issue came clear to me. Will buy as soon as DTS is supported. Love your products!

I agree with Daniel, who wrote 2 weeks ago: "When bandwith really is the problem, I wonder if it is possible to downgrade the incoming dts signal to a lesser dd 5.1 signal by the playbar itself? An actual statement of Sonos would be great!" This may not be perfect, but would be absolutely enough for me. But there must be a way soon to get any 5.1 surround sound only with Sonos Playbar and speakers when playing a Blu-ray only with DTS which are half of my collection.

A DTS support for the playbar is indeed at least what is needed to have a full movie experience for SONOS. Silent-movies are from the past!!! Because on most (read: all) blu-ray discs is DTS-HD and or DD-HD as a standard for sound quality and the combination of a optical connection to the playbar, we never are able to have a DTS HD compatibily with the playbar. Therefor SONOS need an extra hardware to support the latest sound formats. Because I am also a fanatic movie watcher, I also submitted an idea: Connect: Movie With this idea a lot of other ideas can be implanted Nevertheless: DTS is a real missing on the Playbar!!!

I just got the Playbar for my anniversary. I already have the house full of sonos products, so I was really excited to get the missing link. Two days later, I'm searching all over the internet and find that my playbar doesn't play 90% of my library because of DTS. Can't tell you how frustrating this is. I'm a big sonos evangelist, I have influenced over 50 friends to get it and so they have influenced a lot more. For the first time, I will not recommend this product to anyone until it is up to date with market standards.

@Sonos habt ihr etwas geplant wegen der DTS Unterstützung? Ich will ich nicht davor kaufen!

@ Sonos you have something planned for the DTS support? I I do not want to buy from it!

You guys are missing the point. Each Playbar has a bonus 'Silent Movie' support function. Any progress on DTS ???

Ok it's an evidence, Sonos is done to play music, but since you create a Playbar to be connected to a TV set, the base is to be open to the largest sound formats available on the market, Dolby Digital is one one them, the PCM is another, the DTS truely IS! DTS can be converted in PCM in most of the bluray players, PC's...But played in stéréo? (or simili surround) Really?... Please open your mind on this, and i'll open my bank account to buy 2 more PLAY:3 in surround 😉 PS : I'm a Sonos reseller here in France, and i'm listening my customers...I'm not only talking for me but for us!

Blu-ray mainly uses DTS, Netflix uses DD+, UltraViolet will use DTS. Sonos promote a surround system with play 3 speakers added. It uses only one optical connection and does not officially support optical switchers. It's suggested by Sonos that only direct TV connection is recommended but most TV's do not pass through DD (or DTS). How can this seriously be promoted as a high quality surround system. Tell me how to easily connect up my system (latest Samsung 2013 TV with Netflix app), Sony BluRay and Sky HD box to get the best surround experience. I have spent additional cash now on external switch boxes, and additional optical cables to try and achieve a result. This is hardly a simple connection solution that Sonos promote. If DTS is added as a firmware update, at least this goes some way to resolve the issue. (we will still need an external switch box though, that is not supported by Sonos). If as I expect Sonos release a Playbar 2 with HDMI and DTS, will all the initial purchasers like myself who invested in Sonos products as Early Adopters during the first couple of months, and are upset and saddened by this issue after spending up to £1700, get an upgrade ? It cannot be that difficult for SONOS to give an update on this situation. Is any one from SONOS bothering to read these comments ? If they are, please, please give some sort of response.

I really had no idea it didn't support dts. Luckily i stumbled on this post Sorry Sonos, not DTS no Sonos playbar purchase
