era 300 as surrounds

Question about 2 era 300 as surrounds. In 7.1 or atmos they sound great but when ever I play 5.1 dolby I get almost no sound at all out of them. I got a lot more from 5.1 with 2 ones. Is this correct or is this a bug?

    Not to be a jerk GuitarSuperstar, but this is 100% untrue in practice.  I am well aware of how to “power off” the move.  I said as much in my post - I’m not putting it to sleep, I am powering it off.

    You can power the Move off, by following those instructions and you will hear the power off chime as indicated.  However, if you leave your Move in that state for a week and try to power it on and use it, you will find the battery completely drained down to 0%.  This is not a bug that can be fixed with a firmware update as this condition has existed with the Move from day one and no firmware update has fixed it and Sonos will not take ownership for it.

    All Move owners should be offered refunds for a defective product or have their Move replaced with a new unit that has been fixed.  Had I known about this phantom power drain I would not have spent $800 on a pair.  I have to know at least four hours in advance of when when I want to use them so that I can charge them, or they will not be usable.  And leaving them on the charger all the time destroys the battery...

    I have actually tested this before. I completely shut off my Move and removed it from the charger one night before I went to bed. The battery was at 43%. When I turned the Move back on the next morning 8.5 hours later, it was still at 43%.

    FYI… Sonos says leaving the Move on the charger doesn’t destroy the battery.
