Hi all, i’m trying to make an outdoor setup with one or more Sonos Amps. Problem is, i’d like to also have an outdoor subwoofer, which are almost all passive, and don’t really understand how i can set that up. Other non Sonos systems basically see the speakers daisy chained from the amp, and the Sub is simply treated as one of the speakers. Anybody has a clue?
I'm about to pick up this panel and I just want to make sure 1) Does this TV pass through dolby 5.1 with no lip sync issues for the Playbar? 2) Does the LG magic remote work with the playbar? Thanks
I am looking at a new AMP with outdoor speakers to add to my Sonos - I already have a couple of playbar surround systems set up and some One's around the house. I also have an old turn table that I would like to plug into the AMP. My question is, can I play from the turntable to a different set of speakers in my setup? e.g. to one of the playbar surround systems without it also playing on the outdoor speakers attached to the AMP? Or will anything that I play through the input from the AMP always going to have to play on the speakers attached, as well as any others I select? thanks
I’ve owned my Sonos system for over a decade. A common usage model over the years has been to create queues on the fly. I have noticed recently that the “Play Next” and “Add to End of Queue” are no longer options in the IOS Controller App. I find a song I want to add to the queue and click on the three dots next to the song and see: Add Song to My Sonos Add to Sonos Playlist Play in Another Room… Play Now The MAC controller still includes the old queue functions, so I think the functionality must still exist. Is there a reason to remove these options from the IOS app?
Just got the Playbar and 2019 OLED65E9AUA TV and have tried setting up the magic remote so it can control the volume of the Sonos Playbar with no success. I initially used the Device Connector to go and set up the sound bar using Sonos and optical. It finished fine, but when trying to set up the control on the Sonos app, I keep getting stuck where it says to press + Volume. I read up on issues with the magic remote and playbar and have tried: 1) changing the broadcast location to Mexico, Canada, Other (didn’t have a Germany option like I read in one post), 2) using Philips in the LG device connection menu… the Remote Type option didn’t come up, only a Power Button showed, and 3) disabling the Simlink option. Outside of some magic elf dust, I don’t know what to do to make this work. Thanks all in advance for your help.
Hello, I understood from several messages that the Sonos Moce will not be incorporated in the Sonosnet mesh network and if I continue using the sonosnet basically will not be able to included the move in groups and plkay synchronized music. I have an existing network with 10 + speakers, consisting of play 1 One, play 3 play 5 (1ste and 2nd gen) beam and sub, . Till now the clear message was that for such qty of speakers the only good option was the Sonosnet. My network is build up from with ubiquiti material (USG / managed switches & 2 accesspoints) Basically buying a Move would push me from the Sonosnet to wifi, will this setup be as stable as the sonosnet ?
I currently have a Samsung Q60r 43” television connected to Sonos Beam via HDMI ARC. Direct TV Genie and Samsung Blueray player are connected to television via HDMI. I remedied a lip-sync problem by turning off Dolby Digital on the Direct Tv Genie menu and switching the Samsung television to PCM. But now, like others on this site, I only get stereo on the Beam. When I turn Dolby Digital back on in the Direct Tv Genie menu, I get Dolby Digital thru the beam, but the lip sync problem (audio is slightly ahead of video) comes back (albeit ever so slightly). Other posts on this site suggest using an audio extractor so that the audio is in sync with the video. I bought one and tried it out but couldn’t get it work properly. Anyway, I was thinking about trying again, because I would really like to take advantage of the Dolby Digital capability of the Beam. My questions are these: What are the proper setup/connections for the extractor? I understand that the Direct TV Genie and the Blu
Hey , I purchased a Sonos Beam plus Sonos One sl, What levels of bass and treble are recommended for choosing eq in the app? Thank you
Hi, I can not achieve 5.1 audio when viewing HD broadcast TV. Can any one advise how I can achieve this please? My set up is as follows: Sonos Beam paired with two Sonos One SL speakers. The Beam is connected to a Samsung TV with The ARC HDMI input. The TV Model is: Samsung UE50ES6710 I use a Humax Freeview Player to receive the HD content: Humax FVP5000T The Humax is connected both via a HDMI cable and SPDIF to the Samsung TV. The setting on the HUmax are set to Doby Digital for both HDMI and Optical outputs. I have used The Simspons broadcast on Channel 4 HD which shows in the guide that it is broadcast in 5.1 to test the surround system. Looking at the About System page of the Sonos app I see that the audio input is Stereo. In the sound settings for the Samsung menu I have selected External speakers. The menu options in Additional Settings for Sound shows SPDIF Out set to PCM. The Dolby Digital option is greyed out and not selectable. When I switch source on the Samsung to USB and p
I have two Sonos One SL speakers and a Vizio 58” Class V TV (model V585-G1). The TV has Apple AirPlay 2. I would like to use AirPlay 2 to play video content on the screen and audio through the Sonos, but can’t seem to get it to work. Is this possible?
Curious about fhe AMP. What’s holding me of so far is the price tag. Got 2 top end Dynaudio Audience 72 SE speakers which are standing idle. Running 2 Play 5 (1st gen) in the living room, setup as a stereo pair (one Play 5 wired to my router), as well as a Beam. Using the AMP could I add the Dynaudio speakers (wired to the AMP) to the Play 5 speakers, thus running a seamless 4 speaker (2 Play 5 + 2 Dynaudio) configuration? Anything I should be made aware of? Possible constraints of such setup? Thks
So I have a problem here. I’m currently study aboard in the US, and my home country is Vietnam. In Vietnam, we already have a beam, 2 plays 5, 2 plays 3, and 2 plays 1. So I’m planning to buy a playbar, and a sub, they are very long (playbar) and heavy (sub). Last year, I bought the Sonos Beam, but because it was shorter than the playbar so we was able to put it in the checked luggage. However, this time, both the Sub is too heavy (~36lbs), and the playbar is too long (the beam barely fits our luggage, so I’m sure the playbar won’t fit.) So I have 2 options: I can carry it as a Carry-On, but I’m worry that the playbar is also too long to fits in the cabin baggage, and the sub is too heavy to be carry on-board. So I’m not sure about this option I can check them as checked luggage. However, this can be quite problematic because they are high valued products so they can be easily stolen. Second, I’m worry that the box and the speakers can be damage, which I don’t want to happen. Please le
I have a play 1 speaker that is blown I have only had the speaker 4 years has anyone else experienced this issue?
I installed a new Blue Curve Router and was able to get Sonos up and working on my iPhone but not my Mac. The instructions don’t work because I can’t find how to update my network setting in the app on my Mac. I tried attaching an ethernet cable (which I didn’t have with my previous set up but that didn’t help my Mac.) How can I update my network settings in my Sonos app on my Mac?
I’m planning on buying the Sonos Amp and to drive my old Amphion Helium 520 floorstanders (4ohms) with it. The Sonos Amp manual states: “Your speakers’ power rating should be at least 125W for 8 ohm speakers, and at least 200W for 4 ohm speakers.” My speakers’ power recommendation is 10 to 150W so how should I interpret the power rating of 200w for 4ohm speakers? Will the Amp work with the speakers? Thanks!
Hi Folks, There have been plenty of questions regarding DJing with Sonos regarding the 70ms latency. Someone once posted this: START ”1) If you can get the output of your DJ thingy into the Playbar via it's optical input then the audio would NOT be delayed. If you had 2 Play units bonded as surrounds then they would also play audio not delayed (but the signal would NOT be Dolby Digital 5.1 so they would barely get used. 2) Any other way of getting audio into Sonos - via line in on Connect, Connect:amp or Play 5 would be subject to an audio delay 3) If you GROUPED other Plays to a Playbar and played your DJing via the Playbar the audio played through the GROUPED speakers would be delayed by 70ms.” FINISH Is the statement in (1) true and if so can one also plug directly into the optical in of a Beam to achieve the same. Many thanks John
I recently purchased Sonos Beam with 2 Sonos One. I have successfully connected to my TV, however i am facing problem connecting to my projector. My projector (XGIMI Aurora) has 1 HDMI input where i plug my Firetv or Android TV Box. Audio Out is either through Projector speaker or 3.5 mm jack or bluetooth. Can you please let me know, how do i get audio out to my sonos. Many Thanks for your help
I’d like to purchase the entertainment set for a record player to play in a large room. I would also like to add two Play:5s to another part of the house and still play music from the record player throughout the house. Essentially, just connecting all the speakers to play off the record player. Is that possible? If so, how can I do that? Thank you!
Why isn’t Sonos keeping up with the times and allowing mobile devices to create playlists? For personal use mobile devices, tablets, phones, etc. are taking over our computing world. Computers, and other devices such as NAS are not as common as they were 5 years ago. I have read in previous posts that a NAS could be used for storing my music and a playlist created from that. However, the starting cost of a NAS is approaching the cost of my Sonos 1. I store all my music on my phone, about 40 gb. This is a compilation of music for 30+ years. My phone is always with me and on when I try and play music from my Sonos 1. It is the only device I plan to use to control my Sonos 1. I do have my music on my computer as well, but my computer is not always turned on, and it goes to sleep after 15 minutes without activity when it happens to be turned on. I have tons of music and it becomes more difficult when I can’t create playlists. Searching for specific albums and putting them in a 1 ti
Hi! Why can't I finde Nextory on music services? :)
Does anyone else have tablets in their house that they use to display (and control) their Sonos music? I would be interested in what a “kiosk mode” would look like for at least the Now Playing screen. Some ideas: Album art is the hero visual Artist and track text easily visible at a distance Large tap targets for track and volume Easy access to adding/removing rooms Optimized landscape layout Anyone else interested or have similar ideas?
Hi All I have a SONOS BEAM coupled to a thousand pounds worth of new Sony TV…! Its linked via HDMI through the ARK Port but the app only shows the output as Stereo.. I've tried different channels and running a 1080p \ 5.1 Film through Netflix but its no different. Does anyone have any ideas as im flat out of any been fiddling with it all day to no avail. Cheers
Dear all, I recently purchase a pair of Sonos, and it was my entrance to Sonos system. My question is, since I have a Zeppelin air, how can I connect it into the new system. Which would be the best product. The Amp or the Port? Also, is there any advantage in connecting my new Sonos One to the AMP wirelessly? Thanks a lot Rui Freitas
Hi all, Does anyone know if the above exists? My tv does not output 5.1 via optical when the input is via the HDMI ports. I have my xbox and now a Chromecast connected to the tv. Up til now i was using an optical switch box with inputs from the tv and xbox to the playbar....but now i need to extract the sound from the chromecast as well to get its 5.1.... which is all well and good but I'd rather not have to still use the current optical switch box to get the internal tuner audio from the tv to playbar.… I hope this makes sense to someone who could advise. Appreciate any advice greatly. Rather not have to get atv just yet. Tia. Rob
