Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

A hifi homecinema soundbar without dts support seems not up to date for me. Are there any plans to add dts support?

    Like so many others, I was about to take the plunge and add the Playbar and a couple of Play 1s to my system.  But I'll not be doing anything of the sort while these issues exist.  I agree that the advertising is totally misleading if the recommended setup (i.e. optical from TV) strips out all the surround capabilities that are being touted in the Sonos literature.  One might even go as far as to say that the product is not fit for purpose under UK consumer law...

    John M or any other Sonos Rep. With all of these comments over the last couple of days regarding the misleading surround sound advertising, there really should be a response on this issue. Combined with the recent advertising of the play 1 as suitable for use in bathrooms ( should not be allowed in the UK) Sonos marketing seem to be treading a very thin line recently.

    I would buy a playbar if it had dts, even though I have a superb yamaha 3300

    This is pretty pathetic. Advertise a "5.1 system" with a full Sonos setup and it actually supports less than 50% of blurays...

    I want to buy a soundbar and sub, but won't until I know it supports DTS.

    The only solution is a Facebook and Twitter bombardment so the issue is more public rather than hidden away in here.

    True, I've already posted on Facebook. You are very welcome to do the same so maybe they'll wake up from their righteous slumber.
