Seemingly 9 years later….I set up my Beam, Era 300’s, and 3 Plays.
Is there a way to group all of those together? My TV remote only controls volume for the beam group. I do not see a way to add the Play’s to the beam/300 group.
I see the same comments from 9 years ago. With responses that are a bit alarming. Paraphrasing, “Sonos usually takes a significant amount of time to update things in their system if there are a plethora of requests. This is not something that many request.”
Interesting.
My response to that thought. Not many typically want excellence if it costs them three to five times the average amount of money.
If there is no easy way to control the volume on my system with a TV remote, am I not living in the 80’s with several remotes in front of me? A good point is when the phone rings and I merely want to mute or lower the volume. In today’s world this happens to most of us often.
Why is it I cannot group my speakers in custom groups any way I see fit and control the group with the Beam with my TV remote? I’m stunned to find out that my beautiful Sonos speakers cannot be grouped, blended, belong to custom groups in any way fitting my sensibilities.
Maybe I am missing something? I did see these issues being raised 9 years ago. It’s not very comforting to know this has possibly been left as a tabled issue for almost a decade. I was really looking forward to double or triple the current Sonos system but this definitely gives me something to think about.
Any suggestions? Please do not suggest I am less than if I want a configuration that doesn’t fit your needs. What I simply want is to be able to have a Beam group and add 2 Era 300’s coupled with my 3 Plays so I can control my speakers, in the app with the same EQ, Surround, and audio adjustments, and control the volume with my TV in that group.
I personally think there are a ton of people feeling the same way.
Why?
My wife could care less about learning any of this tech. When she turns the volume down, she wants it down. How am I supposed to tell her we need more Sonos? She’s going to laugh in my face, literally.
Please help.
Thank you!
