Question

Sonos Move audio for Amazon Firestick or Apple TV.

Hello!

I am thinking about purchasing a Sonos Move, but I was hoping to use it as a Bluetooth output speaker with an Amazon Firestick or Apple TV connected to a tv.

 

Will this work?  Will the Move and a Firestick communicate?  Will the Move and an Apple TV communicate?  Hoping to do this for watching tv outside.  :)

 

Thanks so much!

Jonathan K.

    Kyle,

    I finally got around to trying your suggestion. It would recognize Sonos but would not connect. I forget the response error but would not connect.

    Hi @raxt. 

    Thank you for reaching out to Sonos Community and appreciate your update about your concern. It seems that the Sonos Move was recognized by the device but still unable to connect. I’d appreciate it if you can provide us the error message.

    I would like to suggest the following steps to check if this would help out.

    Pairing Sonos Move to Samsung TV 

    1. Put the speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode and make sure it is discoverable. See the product's user manual for how to do this, if needed.
    2. Navigate to the Bluetooth audio device list on your TV and select the speaker to pair with. Home > Settings > Sound > Sound Output > Bluetooth Speaker List. Select Sonos Move on the list. 

    Note: The process is slightly different depending on what model of TV you have. You may need to check for your TV’s firmware update.

    Pairing Sonos Move to Firestick

    1. Switch your Sonos Move to Bluetooth mode.
    2. In the Fire Stick menu: Navigate to Setting > Controller & Bluetooth Device > Other Bluetooth Device > Add Bluetooth Device > Press Ok.
    3. Your Amazon Fire Stick automatically starts searching for your Bluetooth device (make sure your Sonos Move speaker is not paired with any other device like mobile / laptop at the same time).
    4. Once searching is done, You may pair it and in the future Fire Stick automatically find and connect to your Bluetooth Speaker (if the speaker is on and within the range of fire Stick).
