cinema sound sofa

I’m thinking of buying a cinema sound sofa which runs of blue tooth. Will my Sonos still work if I Bluetooth my tv to my sofa?

Not likely, no. Sonos both doesn’t generate Bluetooth, and most devices that do (some TVs, mobile devices, etc) only generate a single stream, so you’d be able to either pair your Sonos (stereo only) or your sofa, not both at the same time.

I thought that. Thank you

Having already deflated your idea, I wanted to throw an extra monkey wrench in the works…Sonos can only take (at least to my knowledge) a stereo Bluetooth connection, so any 5.1 Bluetooth connection won’t even ‘connect’ to a Sonos. The only way to get a 5.1 (or greater) signal into a Sonos is via a digital (optical or ARC/eARC) connection.

Now I’m off to look up why it’s called a monkey wrench…

For those interested, this from Wikipedia:

The largely US idiom "to throw a monkey wrench into (something)" means to sabotage something, equivalent to the British English "to throw a spanner in the works".

I’ve been thinking 🤔could I just not disconnect the Sonos when I have a film on, would it work then?

Airgetlam

It depends, I suppose, again on what is ‘sending’ and what is ‘receiving’ the Bluetooth signal. Not really a Sonos question. But I’d be worried about the 5.1 aspect, in addition. It seems like a neat idea, just really hard (at both ends!) to accomplish.

I’ve no idea either I just loved the cinema sofa with all the gizmos for watching a movie, vibrations immersive sounds the full effect. I watched a demo in store with their tv and it blew me away. Obviously I wouldn’t want that all the time just when I’ve got a good action film on 🤣🤣 I do love my Sonos though tbf

I’d be terribly surprised if it actually used Bluetooth, to be honest. Although what form of connection it has might be trouble switching back and forth with your Sonos. Not having a link to a description makes it hard to be sure, though.
