Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Dear Sonos Please provide DTS to the playbar. I have the 5.1 setup and love it. I won't return it. But DTS would make me realy happy.

Please add this function as it will turn the Playbar from a good to a great product. PLEASE UPGRADE SOON as not having the ability to play DTS is a major issue.

Another prospective buyer here likely to look elsewhere unless dts capability added, even though I'm already a sonos owner

Thank god I read this before buying -I was convinced about buying the playbar but will have to go in for some other sound bar. Can't have a home theatre that doesn't play DTS!! How're you guys managing to sell this product without fooling someone in to buying it....

Please sort this out Sonos. A surround-sound sound bar which doesn't support the only surround sound encoding on most blue-ray discs looks like embarrassing incompetence.

Hello, I have been following you guys ever since the debut of your first product. Fantastic technology!!! However, even though I went ahead and bought the Playbar knowing that it currently did not support DTS, I did so in faith that you would do the right thing and provide it in an upcoming update given that the original reason(s) to NOT support it are no longer relevant i.e. 1) New TV's as of this post (mine is the new 75" Samsung 7100) actually support DTS via the Optical Out in addition to Dolby and DTS Neo. 2) Almost everyone uses BlueRay 3) If it is in-fact a "bandwidth" performance issue then simply issue a disclaimer that "A wired ethernet network may be required" and be done with it. Continue to lead and under no circumstances do you ever provide a way in for your competition. Sincerely, A Happy but concerned Customer!

I've just created an account to vent some air on the missing DTS support. I already have the Playbar and I really like it. I do have a couple of friends who asked me about the Playbar. I tend to say that is really great and well worth the money BUT there is this issue with DTS. Of course they've looked elsewhere. Would I buy it again? No, I don't think so. Why? Because I don't like a company telling me how to use a product. Yes, of course you can use your TV as a hub but, come on Sonos, many came to the idea to use a switch, e.g. for their Blue Ray Player, as most TVs don't support 5.1 pass through from HDMI to TOSLINK. So, there is a solution for hearing 5.1 sound regardless your "TV as a Hub" approach, though, you still need so much time to implement DTS! Is there a reason? Please be fair and tell us why?

I don't get this. Buying something so expensive without basic dts feature is a waste of money

if it's a hardware limitation, software limitation or licensing issue then build a product which can decode dts and sell it as a separate product.

There is clearly more to this than Sonos is willing to admit. The silence (when playing blue-rays) is deafening! If it can not be implemented they should swallow their pride and admit it. While at my local Best Buy Magnolia store,I fell for the sales reps claim about how Sonos would be adding dts support and took the plunge. After purchasing a sub, playbar, 3 play 3s and a bridge (approx $2500.00) and setting it up I couldn't have been more pleased. That is until I threw in a blue-ray and was reminded I would need to hone my lip reading skills in order to enjoy just about all of our blue-rays. I had to ask myself if it was worth it and came to the conclusion that it wasn't.Following these threads and reading the smoke and mirrors responses from Sonos also helped tip the scales. So back into the boxes everything went and off to Best Buy I rode. Granted I knew about the lack of dts when I purchased the system however the rep had me convinced it would be addressed. Once there I explained my reason for the return and to my surprise the sales manager was dumbfounded regarding the dts issue. He called up the Sonos rep,who handles that store,and learned the brutal truth. At the end of the day I ended up keeping the system (they made me an offer I couldn't refuse) but I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth about how forthcoming Sonos is when it comes to this problem. If I were a betting man,Sonos supporting dts (with its current hardware) is one bet I wouldn't take. jmho
