Guys, I ordered a couple of Play1's from the Sonos website last week. Amazon then had a sale for Play1 two days ago so I ordered it from Amazon thinking I'll return the previous ones. When the Amazon ones arrived I noticed that the boxing is different and when I read the year manufactured it was 2015. On the previous ones it's 2017. Is there a difference in the hardware capability wise? I tried looking online but didn't find anything. I'm worried it might not support future integrations. The hardware number of the 2015's one is 1.20.1.6-1.

Hi, I've got two Play 1s paired. I have just purchased a Playbar and tried to add the two existing Play 1s as surround speakers for the Playbar however this process only seems to work if the Play 1s are not already part of the system. How I can remove the Play 1s altogether so I can then add add them as surrounds for the Playbar? Any help would be much appreciated - thank you.

I just want to ask here first if everybody else has the same problem, before posting a bug to Logitech... Perhaps it's me doing something wrong... I've got three PLAY:5 (gen 2) in a group, one of them is connected to the network by wire and others two are added to this one as a group. So, as it is described everywhere - in this case the first one must act as a controller for a group. When I create the Harmony activity (using MyHarmony software on a Mac) it does not let me add more than one Sonos device, showing me the message that I only need to choose a group controller device for the Sonos activity and in this case the whole group volume will be controlled when Harmony changes the volume of that controller device. BUT. It's not true. After I create this activity with the PLAY:5 controller chosen in this activity, only this device's volume is changed when I adjust the volume using Harmony remote... The other two PLAY:5 devices' volume remains unchan

I have one room with four speakers (all Play:1s) and a sub. Currently it's set up as two "rooms", with the Play:1s acting as two stereo pairs. Is there any way to use the sub with all four speakers?

I have a Play 1 in the bedroom, so was pleased to see the White Indicator Light On/Off option that allows me to remove a distracting LED light from a dark bedroom environment. However, I've noticed that when the speaker is muted, a distracting green light comes on instead which kind of defeats the object of the Indictaor Light toggle option. Either you want this LED on, or you want it off, regardless of it's intended indication or colour. Am I missing something here?

I have a PlayBar, PlaySub and 2 Play:1’s. The ease of use and ease of setup is amazing. But I bought into this system with intentions on also using the Play:1’s on the back porch as a stereo pair. This COULD be simple but so far I’ve had to: 1. Remove Surround (Play:1’s) 2. Go through the software to then create new room 3. Re initialize the speakers 4. Setup new room 4. Create stereo pair 5. Remove sub (if I’m in the mood) then add to stereo pair 6. Blah blah I’m prob forgetting lots of pain in the rest steps. It ain’t simple! Then once I’ve got it set up in on the porch I’d have to go through all sorts of t stuff to set it up all over again and then do the silly walk around the room waving phone and freak my daughter out. For God sakes why can’t I pull the 2 Play 1’s to the porch and listen stereo and then reattach to 5.1. This is stupid and it pisses me off. Am I missing something or is this exactly what Son

I've a pair of Play 1s as part of a Playbase/sub home cinema set up and am planning to move them up to the bedroom and replace with the new Sonos1. The Play 1s will perch on the windowsill upstairs, so I'm wondering whether the new speakers will fit my existing Alphason stands. Hopefully they will!

Hi, I have just bought a pair of Play 1 and I am very happy with the Sonos system, the stereo feeling ... but I feel they are too small and/or don't deliver enough bass for my 540 ft² room. I can off course add a sub but I find it too expensive (and I have read that the Sub was a bit too "strong" with the Play 1). So I was wondering if I had not better return my 2 Play 1 (I still can do it for a couple of months) and replace them with a pair of Play 5. So to sum up : in a 540 ft² room and for stereo listening, what's better : a pair of Play 1 + sub or a pair of Play 5 alone ? Thanks for your help !

Is it possible to use ur sonos play1 speakers as computer speakers?

Hi guys, I'm hoping for some advice here on something. I currently have a Play:1 in my kitchen, a Play:3 in my hallway, and a Play:5 in my living room...love them all! My question is, as I have used the Play:5 with an optical toslink splitter to give me audio from my TV when watching movies, but also outstanding music quality which I am massively into...would I be able to purchase a second Play:5 to set up as a stereo pair for the TV audio set up? I really want the 5's as a stereo pair for music but don't want to lose the set up with my TV. I'm sure I read somewere that when setting the 5's up in stereo you lose the "line in" function, which is what the TV is set up to....i may be wrong. I hope that makes sense? Thanks Guys.

I've owned Sonos products for almost a year now and they are great. However, I still find myself wanting an in-wall keypad mounted solution like what I used to have. If we're having dinner, I don't have a smartphone or tablet nearby. It was easier with the old sytem of going to over to the wall, pressing a few buttons to get music in a room. Does Sonos have any plans or are there any 3rd party solutions for this?

I would personally love to see SONOS make a speaker in which is made to take with you, lets say outside or some place with no wifi or electricity. I would kill to get my hands on one of those.

Howdy fellow Sonos enthusiasts! I live in Dallas,Texas and I’m having trouble finding a place to take my series 1 Play 5 to get looked at.. I purchased it from Target about 2-3 years ago.. love it, but one day it just stopped working.. 😞 I was wondering if anyone knew of an electronic store or company that services Sonos speakers or could offer a suggestion that could point me in the right direction? Thanks folks!

Correction to a previous topic. My SONOS 1 stopped working and it could update the software via WIFI. Finally I connected to Ethernet cable and I updated the software and started to work normally. What can I do to make the SONOS 1 work with WIFI again?

Hi all, a bit new to Sonos, hoping someone can confirm my understanding and make recommendations. Just started testing the waters by getting a Play:1, and of course I like it, but was sad to figure out after my purchase that audio source options is limited. Specially, I listen to a lot of BBC Radio1 via their website, and I was under the impression I could connect my smart TV, but now realize I need to get other products to make either of these things possible. To listen to music coming from a web browser I'm pretty sure my options are A) Connect my TV to a Playbar via optical input and stream my laptop/iPad to the TV (via Apple TV), or 😎 Connect my laptop/iPad to a Play:5 via the audio jack (or kind of like A, connect TV to Play:5 via audio jack and stream iPad to TV). I mostly listen to music, so would definitely like the clean bass from either a Play:5 or Sub. So it looks as though my options would be A) Playbar + Sub, or 😎 Play:5 (and could add 2x Pla

I have been talking to SONOS support who have been very helpful, but couldn't resolve my problem......I want better sound from my smaller LED TV's <36"............and they eventually suggested that I get as many followers for this idea as possible, which would enhance the possibility of it becoming a reality. So, please, please, all you supporters of a smaller/mini Playbar, please like and follow this conversation to continue to pile on the pressure on SONOS to take this request seriously. Thanks :) This was my question to SONOS support:------ "Thank-you for spending the time to respond to my query, I appreciate your efforts in trying to find an answer to my problem. However, it would seem that there really isn’t a SONOS solution for smaller TV’s, or to put it another way, a SONOS solution for all the TV’s in a home. What it needs is a mini wall mountable version of the Soundbar, one that doesn’t necessarily have to produce full surround sound, but one that

Hi there, I've recently bought a sony tv that won't let me use bluetooth headphones to watch! I am wanting to buy a sonos system for it, but was wondering if anyone knows if i can connect the bluetooth headphones (beats btw) to the sonos, so I can watch tv at night without disturbing anyone?! Thanks in advance.

Sonos marketing has definitely changed under Spence. Bootleg? 🆒 http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/sonos-bootleg-1202580235/

Alexa is officially the first voice assistant to be available on Sonos, a move that turns the wireless speaker product into a voice-controlled sound system. Originally https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/30/sonos-partners-with-amazon-spotify-for-enhanced-music-control/announced a year ago, Sonos has been working “day and night” with Amazon to implement the features. Alexa on Sonos will be available as a beta software update today. You will be able to control your speakers using Amazon Alexa-compatible devices including the Echo and the Dot. The update will be available in the US, UK, and Germany. Sonos CEO Patrick Spence calls this new platform the “Sonic Internet” and complained of “default speakers” in entry-level devices that didn’t work seamlessly with Alexa and each other. “Music is one of the most used features with Alexa,” said Tom Taylor, SVP, Amazon Alexa, in New York today. The new Sonos integration allows

If you want to do this, right now, just enable the "My Speaker" skill. You'll need a Windows 10 PC to run the bridge app, but that's it. No technical skills required, just install the app and run it. Enable the skill by voice, or via the link: https://www.amazon.com/ControlAV-My-Speaker/dp/B071YW8F1R (Sorry, USA only at this time)

Hi all, i damaged the front grille of my play 5. Is there a chance of a replacement part? The damage is a pea sized dent smack bang in the centre of the grille. Once you see it, you can't stop noticing it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have An existing Amp and speakers (2X100watts, 12x40watts). I am considering using one of the Sonos Connect audio output to connect the old amp with some of the speakers(E.g the 2X100watts & 5X40watts) and connect the remaining 5x40watts speakers in parallel to the second Sonos connect output. Will this work? Please advise! Thanks.
