Sony bdv-N590 vs Ultimate Immersive Set

Hello all!I currently have an old "all in one" home cinema system in the Sony bdv-N590 (5.1) and was wondering if somebody else out there has had a similar upgrade experience to a Sonos surround package? My current system stands up pretty well to be honest both as tv sound and music (I've moved a few 1ns and era 300 into the living room to compare and simply put, 5 speakers are better than 1 (or 2)). I'm looking to upgrade because my system lacks the newer encodings, I always find speech a bit muffled and I also have a burning desire to Sonos-fy everything!! My only reluctance is whether the upgrade is worth it or should I wait one more generation (plus the electrician costs to get electrical sockets installed behind the rear 300s.... :s).Any input would be appreciated 👍

Making a Sonos Speaker Choice

We have a large open space that is broken up by a few walls - The TV room is roughly 400 square feet, kitchen 300sq ft, Living Room 600 aq ft We have a Sonos Move we take all around the house. In the living room there are 4 in ceiling and a center speaker connected to the TV via Amplifier through HDMI ARC. Question -Should I go Beam under the TV and two ERA 100 with one in the kitchen and one in the living room to fill the downstairs with Music?  Go with the Port on the Amplifier, add a Sub and two Era for the Living room and Kitchen Or is there a different set up you’d suggest? Again - filling the space with music is the main objective

New Sonos App - Looks Nice But Have Couple Operating Errors

Morning all. Like the look of the new app and good to see developments.But I see two issues upon first usage, which would be good to get some help with please:Significant delay on opening the app on Android 13 on Sony Xperia 1 III. The page opens and says it’s looking for your system (which is all there) but it takes a good 30 seconds to find it. WIFI is very strong multiple wifi6 sat’s and all up to date. Web Version …. opens and looks good but then says ‘internal error’. Laptop is Win11, fully up to date, brand new and very vanilla high end Dell unit with few apps loaded and all, again, very vanilla run of the mill things … nothing fancy. Screenshot below …. can post one of the Android error as well.Appreciate any help. It’s a new thing and I guess updates are already in the mix to iron out issues. Many thanks

Amp home theatre set up

Hi all,I have a Sonos Amp that I intend to use as the front speakers for a home cinema system.  My questions is, can I combine this with a pair of Sonos One’s or Play:1’s as the rear speakers to make a surround set up?I’m pretty sure the answer to this is yes, so, follow on questions:If I do this, do the voice assistants get disabled on the rear speakers (I’ve read somewhere this might be the case, but since the Amp doesn’t have built in voice assist I’m not sure) Can I also add a sub to this set up easily - either the Sonos sub wirelessly, or a wired third party sub connected to the Amp’s dedicated sub output?Thanks!John

Sony TV switches to TV speakers at same time each night

I have a Beam, Sub and two play 1s connected via Hdmi Arc to Sony KD49XF90. The system works perfectly every day until exactly 3 minutes after midnight, then switches to the internal TV speakers. I've seen a few similar posts in the forum but nothing about the time of day affecting the connection. I assume it's something to do with a setting somewhere, but after trying loads of different things, it still switches without fail. Any help would be appreciared.

Cable tv blurry through Beam until unplugged and plugged backin

I have a beam connected to a TCL tv through eARC. When I watch Cable tv (optical) the picture skips/blurs until I unplug the eARC cable from the beam and plug it back in. I have no issues watching Netflix using built in tv app or PS4 connected by HDMI. Thoughts?

surround sound upgrade = issues with S2.

Hi allI’ve recent upgraded tv to an A8 and upgraded the playbar to the Arc (spectacular by the way). With this comes the compulsory upgrade to the S2 app - why fix things that aren’t broken??!I’ve had to split my system which I understand but a pain. Running the S2 I’ve managed to get the lounge to work - arc, sub 2x play 5 for surround. Amazing. Now the sound works but the app doesn’t the see the room, so no adjustment for normal viewing with extra annoyances when at times the sound drops out and I have to reset. I’ve tried the app reset and router switch off… why it never happened before? Additionally how can you not see the, ‘soon to be door stop units!’, on the S2 app? Thanks in advance

speaker choice

Hi there. I have two sonos one SL speakers in my kitchen which I have paired and work well. My kitchen is 9m x 3m with the speakers positioned at each end of the room. I am thinking about adding a further speaker to the set up and am wondering whether a Five or a Sub would be the best next speaker to add? Any advice would be appreciated.

Is Android 10 still a problem for local playback?

I’ve got to setup five Galaxy Tab 8’s tomorrow which require ability to play local music stored on the device. 4 months ago i know this wasn’t possible - has there been any updates that have fixed this before i spend ages trying to configure them. If not - suggestions at best work around would be appreciated as i don think my client will be happy if i tell them they need 5 music servers too :(

Alarm is triggering previously grouped speakers

During the day, I usually have a playlist from my library setup to play in three rooms -- Office, Kitchen and Master Bedroom.  Around supper we usually pause that playlist, and then watch TV. At bedtime, I have another alarm (do not include grouped rooms) that is set to trigger a playlist in the Master Bedroom only that plays a small “silent” playlist, basically in order to clear the queue (since my other automation s/w seems to ADD to the playlist, but that’s another issue) before my 10:00pm “Night Night” playlist starts.  Whenever this 1 minute alarm triggers, the other two rooms start up again and continue playing where they left off.  Obviously this isn’t what I want.I can fully replicate this on demand so it isn’t just a fluke.Any ideas on this “bug”?My systems consist of this…Associated Product: 192.168.1.181---------------------------------Play:3: KitchenSonos OS: S2Version: 12.2.1 (build 61183170)Hardware Version: 1.8.1.3-1.2Series ID: A100---------------------------------Play:

Do I need an amplifier?

I have a pair of Sonos 5 which has a turntable with inbuilt pre-amp in the line in port. I intend to get a standalone Marantz CD player with no pre-amp. Would I need an amplifier to use it with the Sonos 5 line in?

All of a sudden my Sonos speakers ( all eight) have interrupted sound?

The audio from my Sonos system of seven years has suddenly started going in and out….I have been recording from a turntable to a reel to reel through a Sonos connect for years with no problems. Line in has always worked through all eight of my speakers. Not sure what the problem is? I noticed that it is also cutting out when playing my music library.  Looking for some advice!  Thank You!

Sonos Connect, Turtable and Sonos One

Hi. I have a playbase and 2x Sonos Ones (surrounds) connected to my TV and I am very happy. I am keen on exploring vinyl and I am looking at a Lenco L-85 which is quite cheap at £115 which also contains a pre amp. What I am wondering is can I use my Sonos Ones as a stereo pair using a Sonos connect without disconnecting from my tv setup.
