Is there a way to mount the beam under a Samsung Serif TV?  

Hi there, any news about Sonos Radio HD availability out of US & UK? Is any launch calendar available?  Thanks,C.

I click on “start my free trial” and it takes me to home page where it shows orders, profile, system...not sure how to get to Radio HD on app

I wish to buy a pair of Play:5 gen 2 speakers (white) and am advised that they are best mounted vertically.  However, I seem unable to find a suitable wall mount. I contacted Flexson, who did make one, but it’s been discontinued due to very low demand.  Not having brackets is a showstopper for me. Does anyone have any ideas?

Please add support for additional surrounds and Atmos speakers in the ARC ecosystem. While bouncing Atmos off the ceiling is a decent method. Having ceiling mounted Atmos channels would be fantastic.  mike

Hello, This topic is in continuation of this one. I currently have a 5.0 setup with Beam and 2 Ones.The “problem” is that my room is very wide and I get the impression that the soundstage generated by the Beam is too narrow.I initially thought that upgrading to an Arc was the only option (having the risk of not being wide enough), but it was pointed out that an Amp could also be a solution whilst keeping my Ones. In any case, the Beam would need to be sold or moved, of course. I was checking the prices for the Amp and wired speakers and got to this conclusion (considering, of course, “regular” ordinary speakers, nothing too fancy or professional): Cheapest option (5.0): Arc onlyMedium option (4.1 or 4.0): Amp + wired bookshelf speakers + wired sub or Amp + floorstanding speakers)Too expensive option (5.1): Arc + Sub*I am, of course, considering the fact that I already own 2 Ones. I was checking the forum and I saw that the Amp as a home theater is not a very frequent solution. What’s y

Buongiorno, vorrei valutare l’acquisto di AMP per collegare due casse 8ohm sorround del vecchio impianto Hi-Fi. Fatto questo, è possibile associarle ad un beam e a un sub Sonos già in uso, giusto? L’HDMI attualmente utilizzato per il collegamento tra TV e beam a questo punto dovrei spostarlo sull’AMP?Grazie in anticipo, Roberto

Hi!It would be great if you could add the possibility to bypass the sub crossover filter in the app when connecting a subwoofer to an Amp. I want the possibility to let my front speakers always play the full frequency range also when a subwoofer is connected. So either have a radio button for whether crossover should be applied for both speakers and sub or for sub only, or an option to always send the full frequency range to both speakers and sub output and let me control the crossover on the subwoofer itself.Now I know I can achieve this by connecting speaker cable from the Amp’s speaker terminals to the subwoofer’s high level connectors. But the I’d then lose the possibility to control the sub volume level from the app.Thanks, Björn

It is done

I have Beam, connect and play 3. When I grouped them I can play music with no problem but when I try to play TV, I can only hear from beam. What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone experimented with making Play 5’s into pendant speakers? Trying to engineer a way to mount them as ceiling pendants in a open truss ceiling. I want to hang them from stainless cables about 5 foot long in a restaurant dining room that has about 16’ ceiling height.

I have 2 Sonos SL1’s that are paired together + a Sonos 5 (2nd gen). For whatever reason the Sonos SL1’s always stay paired to each other but they refuse to stay grouped to the Sonos 5.  I have to go into the app and add the SL1s to the already playing music on the Sonos 5. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

The audio from my Sonos system of seven years has suddenly started going in and out….I have been recording from a turntable to a reel to reel through a Sonos connect for years with no problems. Line in has always worked through all eight of my speakers. Not sure what the problem is? I noticed that it is also cutting out when playing my music library.  Looking for some advice!  Thank You!

S27 has shown up on the FCC web site, with all the good stuff redacted as usual.There is a master and a slave device (I thought we were done with that nomenclature?) that takes a 5V 3A input, and is circular. My guess is WiFi-capable headphones, with a smart base station that acts like any other Sonos device.Details at https://fccid.io/SBVRM027 

I have several speakers (Play3,Play5, OneSL) all working on my WIFI network.  What no longer works is my music store (hard drive) that was "Connected" to the SONOS environment via an old SONOS Bridge.  The music store is not located near a speaker.  

What is the right place in my living room to put my second Sub ?

I have a LG CX and what to mount it to my wall.  But I have a lot of questions?  I am using this mount fo LG https://www.vogels.com/en-us/c/thin-505-extrathin-fixed-tv-wall-mountI have read this:When wall-mounting, it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches between the TV and Arc. As per important safety information one of the lists states; Do not block any ventilation openings. Leave a recommended space of 4“ (10cm) around the unit.How high should I mount my LG to the wall? How high should I mount my arc? Which mount for ARC?  Should I get the mount that can extend 2 inches?  https://www.sanus.com/en_US/products/mounts/wssatm1/ or get the flat mount?  I want the arc to be as closed to wall as possible. Do I need a mount that has magnet? Once I get my TV Mounted, I should mount arc 4inch or 5.5 inch below TV?   it is recommended to have a clearance of at least 5.5 inches.  Any hints or suggestion would be great.Thank you!

After soon 10 years as a dedicated Sonos fan. I’m really impressed of how useless and bad the new app. Nothing really works now. It did previously. But not any more. All 3 speakers can only play as a group a few times a week. Music comes and goes on all speakers. The app is so extremely slow and hard to use. I’m considering of selling or throwing this junk away. It really must be a system with better performance and ease of use than this.  

I have an amazon fire toshiba tv. tv is wirelessly streaming.comcast is service provider. running hdmi from tv to beam, wireless sub and two play 1’samazon prime video and music play in surroundamazon music played through Sonos app plays in surround  netflix 5.1 shows only play through the beam and the sub  it’s driving me crazy  Any idea what I can try?

So I just bought a Sonos Playbase (front) and two Sonos One SL (rear). My TV is a Philips 70PUS7555. It supports SPDIF (Optical) to the Playbase, and have setup everything in surround. My problem is, that in my TVs audio settings I can pick “Stereo”, “Multichannel” or “Multichannel Bypass”. It seems like in the description, that it manages/alters the HDMI ARC audio, in which I have none of. When watching TV (streamed channels), or movies (Netflix, etc.) the Audio isn’t great. It seems like the rear speakers are at 5% volume, and only play some random background noise. I dont get any “wow” feeling from the surround, and it seems like theres something wrong. Am i missing something? I followed every step of the Sonos setup guide; and deactivated the built in TV speakers. Help please - I’m starting to regret my $ 1500 setup…..  

Looking to get some outdoor speakers on my newly built covered patio and I'm looking at options. I currently do not have any receiver/system of any kind (only using a small Bose blutooth speaker for inside the home). If I'm understanding correctly, Sonos recently released outdoor speakers that are "passive" and require no wires or electrical connections of any kind? And in order to operate those, I will first need to purchase a Sonos Amp? Sounds like a pretty good option to get some good sound both inside and outside my house if I bought the amp, several indoor speakers, and a pair of outdoor speakers? Am I understanding this setup correctly? The only thing I need is Wifi to get this going?

Hi thereI was looking for a tool to backup my Sonos playlists (just in case, it would drive me mad if I lost them), but couldn't find any. Therefore I decided to write one myself ;-)The result is called SonoSaver and can be found here in case you're interested: https://sonosaver.mrupp.ch/Now, I'm interested in adding some more features to it. What do you think? Would it be a nice feature to have the possibility to export the playlists to text files, like CSV, M3U, etc.?Any other ideas?Cheers,Michael

Hi,Could somebody please tell me exactly what the difference is between DD5.1 and PCM Stereo 2.0 when played on a Beam? I know DD5.1 is a 5.1 soundtrack and the Beam isn’t a 5.1 speaker, so what happens?Because of the lip sync issues caused by my TV when watching some content, I have to have my Blu-Ray player set to PCM instead of Bitstream. This means the Beam receives PCM 2.0 Stereo instead of DD5.1. If I play the same scene, on the same volume but change the two audio formats the scene is much louder when played on DD5.1, but is volume the only difference between the two in this scenario?Thanks.

Reading through the threads this one comes up a bit, but we really need a feature to switch (even a manual in app switch) to turn the surrounds into full mode when watching music videos instead of leaving them in ambient.
