Using a pair of Sonos Era 100

I ordered a pair of Sonos ERA 100 which I want to connect as stereo pair. I know using Sonos App, it can be paired to stereo. But I also want to use those pair with my MacBook and Sony Bravia 3. Is it possible to pair them with these devices using WIFI?

To make it simple. Once I have paired both Sonos Era 100 using my iPhone App, will these speakers work as stereo when connected with MacBook and Sony Bravia 3 TV using WiFi?

Once they are paired using the Sonos app, you can Airplay to them from your MacBook.

You can also choose Bluetooth audio out from your Sony Bravia 3 to connect to the Era 100s by Bluetooth. (Bit of a hassle each time, but do-able.)

The speakers will stay stereo until unpaired into single speakers.

Thank you, Bravia 3 has WiFi, so I would rather prefer to connect it using WiFi over Bluetooth. Is WiFi connectivity hassle free?

You can’t connect the TV to the speakers by wifi.

May I ask you why? Bravia 3 has built in WiFi

The TV can output to speakers by wires and by Bluetooth. It does not have audio out via wifi. 

The TV’s built-in wifi is for receiving wifi signals (such as software updates and for streaming on its built-in apps), or for casting your phone screen to the TV - it does not use wifi for sending audio.

OK So I am using a pair of Era 100 on stereo. Its been 4 days now. Its amazing. But sometimes the sound in left speaker disappears for fraction of seconds. It doesn’t happen frequently, just random, sometimes 5 minute, 10 minute. So its not a big deal, but is there a way I can fix it?

Can you confirm you set them up in the app to work as a stereo pair (using the pairing process), rather than just selecting them to play at the same time? I’m sure you have as that was in your original post but just checking before extending any advice.

yes in Sonos App settings I added the second speaker as stereo pair. But just now the second speakers stopped so I removed it from pair and now its unable to detect when I am trying to add it again through stereo pair

Try turning the missing speaker off at the wall, then force close the Sonos app. Then turn the speaker back on again, and let its light go white (hopefully it will), and reopen the app.

See if the speaker then appears again in the app as an individual speaker, and try setting up again as a Stereo Pair.

I think I realized the issue is with Wifi connection.
