I bought a Sonos One in Japan. Can I use it in the UK just by replacing the cable?

I’ve been using my Sonos One in Japan for the last year. If I move to the UK, would it be possible to use the device there if I replace the cable with the UK Angled Power Cable? Or are there differences with voltage/wiring internally in the device? Thank you.

Are you suppose to leave the Sonos Move on its base always charging?

I've noticed that when you put the Move into sleep mode, or even completely shut it down, It loses battery fairly quickly. Can you just leave it in the charger base, charging at all times, or will this damage the battery? Many thanks.

Using a bluetooth Sonos speaker as input for existing non-bluetooth Sonos system

I recently moved to an area where my internet service is fast, but with a spotty connection due to the way the infrastructure was built and the environmental factors in my area.  None of my existing Sonos speakers are bluetooth enabled so when the internet goes down, so does my Sonos system because it can’t connect to my streaming services and I don’t have a way to manually connect a phone or other audio storage device.  I have 6 play One’s and 2 sound bars, none of which have an input jack.  If I purchase one of the new bluetooth enabled Sonos speakers will I be able to use that as the input to continue using my entire existing Sonos system?

Possible to connect Move to older TV?

I have a great set up with 2 Sonos moves that can sync with my tv sound bar in  the man cave , but I have just added an 2016 Samsung outside in the garden I would love to find a way to connect wirelessly from the older tv to the moves - would it be through an Apple TV or a WiFi or bluetooth transmitter?

Can a Move play music quietly?

Just bought a Sonos Move to replace a One, and one of the key uses is to be able to play music quietly at night. Unfortunately, the Move seems to bottom out at “quite loud". Even after disabling Loudness and setting both Bass and Treble EQ to -10, it's still far too loud. Adjusting the max volume just makes the first few volume increments silent - it still starts making noise at the same volume. Tested initially via the Sonos app, but the same issue is present playing across Bluetooth from Spotify on a phone The speaker sounds great when I want loud music, but I need it to play quietly at night! Can anyone help Thanks David

Safe to leave Move plugged in?

I'm getting the Sonos Move for Christmas (actually already have, wife will not let me touch it yet) and I have a question.While I definitely plan to use the speaker on battery power from time to time, I wondering if there is an adverse effect on the battery for leaving it plugged in for long periods of times? Also will the battery degrade if not used often.  Just a couple questions that just popped into my head as I try wait patiently to Christmas morning.

Sonos One Speaker Not Working

My Sonos One speaker has stopped working and there is no LED light coming on at all.  I tried the power cable from my Sonos One SL speaker and this didn't do anything.  It worked fine and then suddenly stopped working.  A few months ago a fuse was blown that effected the electrics in the house but was sorted.  Could something have blown in the speaker when this happened?

Sonos Beam not discoverable on AirPlay

Hi,  I’m currently experiencing a problem whereby my Sonos beam is not discoverable on airplay (bear in mind that at some point it was) is very frustrating at the least that you pay so much money to get a subpar experience. Definitely would not recommend.

SL One will not join

I have a house with an excellent wifi system, 8 AMP units hooked to ceiling speakers, and everything plays fine and is reliable.I am trying to add 2 SL-One speakers.They won’t join, I go through the procedures but they never show up in the list of rooms after I am done.I take them to the wifi rack, hard wire them in and they join and work.  Unplug them from the Ethernet wire, and they still play in the system.  Unplug them from power, take them upstairs, and plug them back in and they are gone.

Set up 4 move speakers

I'm a happy Sonos customer, and I'm contemplating using Sonos Move speakers for outdoor use. I know I can set up 2 speakers as a stereo pair. Can I group 2 stereo pairs of Move speakers (total of 4)? I've read in the forum that you can do that with Sonos Ones. If I do that with the Move, will the automatic TruePlay work correctly with all 4 speakers in the environment?

Move Questions

When the Move is operating on wifi my understanding is that you have control of treble and bass via the S2 app equalizer and the app shows the Moves battery status. My question is how do you control bass and treble and monitor battery life when operating on Bluetooth? Also, does anyone have any idea of the replacement battery price?

If your Move stops playing, try this first

Occasionally my Move will stop playing in the middle of a local playlist. The screen below pops up and suggests some things to try.Before following step 1, to unplug your router which will disrupt your entire network, just power your Move OFF and ON.That simple step works for me.
