Could I use the Sonos Five as a central speaker in a 5.1 system? I could connect the Five to the A/V amp pre-out central with a mono RCA/stereo minijack adapter.

Ahoy!My Arc will be arriving in a few days, and I’ve been reading about mounting position, height, angle, etc.I’ve read on a few review sites that the speakers are at a 70 degree angle, while a video I watched said it was 75 degrees. Is the angle of the Atmos speakers published somewhere officially? Anyone from Sonos want to give the official word?Thanks!

My sonos speakers disappeared for the S2 app.At no stage in restarting the speakers did it ever say that I was going to lose my playlist and this is absolutely unacceptable. In my research just now I see that this is an ongoing issue since 2013. It is unacceptable that this isn't published and that I can't get my playlists back. In fact there is also no way of backing up playlist on Android. This is a big viability gap in your products and it seems you just choose not to address it. It seems as this issue is 5 years old that rather than  look after the substantial investment your clients making your systems you choose to ignore it. For what purpose ?. Don't get me wrong I love the Sonos sound system and it's quality and can recommended on that basis -  however this issue of continually losing playlists and favourites is a show stopper.The viability of your product is in question for me and many others. The product is not sold with the understanding the playlist , favourites cannot be s

HelloI have a question that I hope that I can describe over this medium. I have attached a picture to helpI have a Samsung Frame TV that I have put into a room in a new house. The house came with Sonace speakers that are built into the house. The wires for the speaker do not go to the TV anymore. Is there a way to connect these speakers to a Sonos AMP and the TV to and AMP and use these speakers for the TV? ( see pic) Thanks! 

I have connected beam to HDMI arc on tv and have sky box  switched to dolby the lip sync s not right. I have tried solving this for hours but can't. What is the best set up to get dolby without the lip sync issue?

I am looking to add turntable to my existing SONOS system and am looking at the Audio Technica LP-120XUSB. I have a SONOS port that I will connect it to. I am looking for input from anyone that has the LP-120XUSB or the previous LP-120USB.

I’m just putting together a new home cinema set up - LG 65 OLED, Arc and my two old Sonos Ones as rear speakers (may add the sub later).The placement of the TV above the (inactive) fireplace means it’s quite difficult to get the Arc the recommended 4” below the bottom of the tv. The Arc is also placed just above head height as the is mounted atop the fireplace at about 120cm.Two questions really.. Is it really an issue if the gap between the Arc and TV is less than 4” and does it matter that the Arc is higher than sat down head height. Can i get away with both of these or is it going to cause an issue?

Will the Flexson stands designed for the Gen 2 Play:5 work with the new Sonos Five?

I have a beosound stage soundbar and want to hook it up to the Port but it only has a 3.5 mm input. Is this possible?

I am setting up a garden gym in quite a big room. Do I get 1 Sonos 5 or 2 Sonos 1

Hi, I have quite a considerable Sonos system and have just added an Arc to a TV in a new room. I am loving the Arc but want to use two in-ceiling mounted speakers as the rear speakers. These are currently connected to a 1st gen Amp so I cannot access these as rear speakers as the old Amp only appears in the S1 app and not the S2, where the Arc currently sits alone.So, I want to upgrade the old Amp to the latest model so I can add this to S2 and then hopefully connect these as the rear speaker pair.Before I spend the money, just making sure that this setup will work. Both the Arc and the Amp are connected over Wifi although both could be connected to my LAN over Etherent if need be as they are both in proximity of a switch.Thanks in advance for any help.Regards,

Not sure if anyone canHelp me but I thought I’d ask here anyway so I recently updated to a new Sonos app and it told me to get rid of my bridge which I did. And did a blue tooth update and everything was fine could play my music but now I can’t play something from my phone on any of my speakers?  I have a playbar, 2 of the little cube shape ones and a sub only updated the Apple App as i was having issues. So cannot play over WiFi or Bluetooth anymore, should i try resetting it? 

Has anybody set up a Sonos Arc with a projector and who can help guide me please?Do I need a specific projector to be able to fulfil the Dolby Atmos capability?Providing I have a projector with x2 HDMI ports; I think I am correct to believe that I need the projector to have eArc capability from one of the HDMI ports. In the absence of an eArc HDMI port; then I believe that an additional product such as the forthcoming HDFury Arcana may be required. https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/hdfury-arcanais the Arc suitable for occasional outdoor use or in an area with high ceilings such as a barn or will the sound and the premium Atmos capability simply be ‘lost’ upwards?Any insight / thoughts would be really helpful please. My wish is to want to use a projector plus the Sonos Arc, a Sub and two Sonos Ones. 

Hey y’all,Sorry if this is redundant with another topic, but trying to make sure. I’m looking at potentially getting a TCL 5 series TV. According to RTings, it looks like it would pass Atmos over TrueHD in passthrough, but I’ve seen some conflicting information (perhaps due to previous year models). Is there anyone who can confirm or knows for sure? If not, I would consider jumping up to the 6 series.Thanks so much for anyone who knows!

I’ve got a 2019 Samsung Frame TV, and am considering a Sonos Beam to pair with it. I’d like to keep wiring to a minimum. My TV has support for Wifi speakers, and the Sonia Beam has Wifi as well. I’m unclear on whether or not I can connect my TV to the Beam solely over Wifi? Or does it *require* either an HDMI or optical connection?I know the Frame can connect to Samsung speakers over Wifi but not sure if that’s proprietary because it’s all Samsung. 

Hi all,I’m currently running 2 sonos one’s and a sonos sub gen3. What I’m trying to do is understand the options for connecting my turntableFrom what I can found, the Sub is not compatible with the Port. Does this also hold true when only using the line-in of the Port?What other options would be available for adding a turntable into this setup? Do you need a Sonos 5 for this?

I have quite an open room with 20ft ceilings.  I was debating getting the Arc, but am a little concerned I won't get near the maximum use out of it.  If I put the bar beneath the TV or on the media cabinet there are shelves on the left and right blocking left/right facing speakers.  And the ceiling is so tall that I think the upward facing speakers wouldn't be useful.  Is it a terrible idea to consider putting the speaker above the TV with a slight angle down?  Or maybe the Arc just isn't the right idea for my room? Thanks!

My sonos move isn't playing while charging.  Also I can't seem to find the speaker from my sonos app on my phone.  Help? 

I have 5 pcs of gen 1 amps providing connection to my external speakers all over the house.if i change one of the amps to the new generation, will i be able to play airplay music to all existing old amps? THANK YOU MUCH to all who are willing to answer

Am I able to utilize a Port with a previouslypurchased Sony HT-ST7 soundbar?

Hello,I have (2) Play 5 Gen 1 speakers on an Orbi mesh wifi network (Main router + 2 satellites)Speaker #1 is connected to wifi satellite #1Speaker #2 is connected to wifi satellite #2Neither speaker is connected to the main routerIn that configuration, I can see both speakers on the network, and stream music to both if I use the Pandora Music player app.  However, if I look for the speakers in the Sonos S1 Controller app, I can’t see Speaker #2.If I move Speaker #2 closer to the main router such that it gets its wifi connection directly from the router then I can see both speakers in the S1 app.Both speakers have been rebooted, and as I mention, I can see and play music on the speakers with other applications just not S1.The reason why I care is that I’m trying to enable Alexa to stream music to the speakers but I think that b/c the S1 controller can’t see the speaker then Alexa is unable to use that S1 connection to stream the music. (no idea if this is true but it is my guess as I a

 Non-techie/ technophobe here! What are the latest software version for the S2 app please?Same for my S1's and Sub please?

I’m setting up my 1st iPort XPress. I get it connected to my Wifi. The next step is “Choose your Sonos”. I get the error “No Sonos players found”. I can then switch over to my Sonos app and see all of my Sonos components.    Any ideas?

I see this has been requested in the past, but those threads are closed. I want to keep the flame alive” Sonos - you need to bring back the "I'm tired of this song" feature when playing Pandora!  

I’ve set my play bar sub an two play1s up in my living room as a surround sound theatre set up. My wife was listening to music streaming in living room when all speakers stopped playing. I’ve discovered that my playbar has no power. I’ve checked lead power supply etc. And it seems my playbar 1st generation has given up on me. I’ve had this set up for 4+ years an I’m absolutely gutted. Is there anywhere I can take it to get repaired or claim from my home insurance or will I just have to replace? Has anyone else had such issues?
