Home theater

New to Sonos. I have a 5.1 setup for my TV and also listen to music in the "TV Room." Everythings seems to be working correctly with my Playbar, Sub and two Play:1 speakers. Just one questions I haven't found directly answered on the forum or in support: There are two check boxes in the controller app room settings: TV Autopay Ungroup on Autoplay Can someone explain in clear English what those boxes do and why I would want to check/uncheck one, the other or both? Thank you!

I have the audio plugged into my tv and the power cord plugged in as well. The Sonos app says it cannot find the tv audio and won't set up. Can someone help?

I recently tried to access my Sonos system (1 Room - Bridge + Playbase + Sub) and it said one of my players was missing. Tried restarting everything. Router, Bridge, Controllers, etc. Incredibly frustrated, I gave up and did a factory reset. Started with the Bridge. Tried to add the factory-reset Playbase. Clicked the connect button and the chime happened. Nothing happened. I've repeated this a dozen times. Feels like Sonos just used to work. I guess things have changed. I'm not a newbie to Sonos, so no need to walk me through the basics of router issues (that's why I have a Bridge) or what a factory reset means. Would love someone to respond who's been through the same mess.

Hi All, I'm new to Sonos. I never use the TV directly, hence I don't rely on the TV sound output. I would only use it through PS4 (watching Amazon Prime, play Bluray, streaming movies though Media Player) Now the simple question is, can I connect the optical cable of PS4 to Sonos PlayBar and set the format to Dolby Digital 5.1 and expect it to work? Many Thanks, H

Just set up SONOS PLAYBASE, 2x Play:1, and a Sub at one end of an open-concept living room/dining room/kitchen area of house. It rocks! Well, at that end of the space. Not so much at the middle and other end of the space. Which is the kitchen; so cooking's no fun. Any suggestions how best to fill the whole open-space with sound, while maintaining the 5.1 sound stage in the "living room" side of the space? Thanks much! ??

1) I have followed the instructions - unplug > hold down mute button and plug back in > hold and wait for amber light > amber and white light flashes ... but then it immediately turns to flashing red. There is no flashing green. 2) During initial setup, my iphone sonos app can't find the "SONOS" wifi network. The only way I can set it up is through the ethernet connected directly to the router. 3) The surround speakers (2 play 1's via wifi) won't make any noise. The playbar is wired into the router. The surround speakers only work when as surround when one of them is hard wired into the router. When unpaired from the playbar, they each work fine independently or as stereo over wifi or ethernet. FYI the router is a brand new LINKSYS EA7300 router.

My TV does not have toslink nor outputs, only HDMI and inputs. I used to have the AppleTV (3rdGen) connected to my PlayBar through toslink, and my AppleTV connected to my TV through HDMI, and everything worked great. I just recently purchased the AppleTV(4thGen), however it does not have a Toslink, so now I could not connect my Sonos to the system. Therefore, I purched the SonoConect to see if I could get creative and find a way to connect everything....... but I cant find a way. Please help!

After turning off my tv speaker during the Sonos setup, I get this stupid message basically telling me that the TV speaker is deactivated. "The TV speakers have been turned off..." etc. Takes up about half the screen too. How can I turn this off? TV model: 55PFL5706/F7
