connecting my playbar and Sub 4

Hi guys

 

Ive had a S2 Playbar for a number of years which has worked wonderfully. I recently bought a brand new s4 sub base unit but cannot get it to connect to the playbar network via the wi fi. Looking at the data im not sure they are compatable which is very frustrating as i cant get the base unit to work as it wont asign to the playerbar network. 

Is there any way i can get them to work together ideally without wiring them together ( even if thats a possibility) ? 

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

 

Geoff

From (bolded mine): Set up your Sonos Sub

Compatibility

 

Home theater compatibility

  • Sub (Gen 1, 2, and 3) are compatible with all Sonos home theater speakers.
  • Sub 4 is compatible with all Sonos home theater speakers except Playbar and Playbase.

​@Geoff72 A later Sonos soundbar would work - “a later playbar” would not. There’s only one Sonos Playbar and that is shown to be incompatible with the Sub 4.
