How to connect my Sonos Play 5 to Samsung smart TV?

The TV won't show up as "TV" on your Play:5. It will show up under Line In. The only device that will show up as TV is a TV connected to a Playbar with an optical connection.

You might also need to go into Settings > Room Settings > [your Play:5 zone] > Line In and adjust some of the settings there. You can also make it so that if Sonos detects any audio on that Line In connection, it will automatically stop whatever was playing before and switch to the Line In connection.

Hi MikeV, 

Appreciate your quick reply. 

After doing all the connections - I did check in my iphone (and) ipad sonos app, under Line In. But under Line In - I did not find the TV. 

(I did check the other questions on the forum and followed the process - and did not find the TV under the Line In - Thus, opened a question here). 

Thank you

In the app, go to Settings > Room Settings > [your Play:5 room] > Line In. There you can set the name to be whatever you want, adjust the volume level if it's too loud or soft, and enable Autoplay if you want your Play:5 to automatically switch to the Line In connection when it senses audio from your TV.

Once you've done that, it will be under Line In, then whatever name you entered in the settings above. If you want to call it TV, then it should be there under TV followed by your Play:5 room name.

If you don't have any Line In settings for your Play:5 zone when you have the cable connected to your Play:5's Line In jack, then there could be a problem with the jack or the cable, causing the Play:5 not to recognize that a cable is plugged into the jack.

Your problem is actually probably more basic than this. My 2014 model Samsung TV has red and white sockets but... Next to a yellow socket. Which means it's actually an input to the TV not an output. In short the only Sonia component I can connect to my TV would be a play bar. This may be the same for you.

Hi Phani, what's the model of Samsung TV you own? I'll try to find the manual for it and see how to get this working, if possible.

Stuart may be on to something. it looks like your TV only has audio output in the form of the 1/8" mini jack and digital optical. The red and white connections you are trying to use are probably the A/V input.

Try using a 1/8" audio cable from the TV mini jack to your Play:5 input.

Can I connect my Play 5 to my Samsung Smart TV wirelessly? The model number of the TV is UN60JS7000FXZA.

Thanks.

I want to connect my Sonos 5 with Sony 55 x850d. Is it possible?
