Simple Set Up for elderly parents?

Hi there. My parents' sound system has just died, and they were never fans - it was an iPod dock, and they found the screen on the iPod too small, and nothing worked how they expected. They listen to MP3s ripped from their CD collection, and the radio. I need a simple set up for them. I am thinking of getting them a SONOS 1, an Amazon Fire 7 Tablet and a USB stick. I *think* I can put all their MP3s on the USB stick and plug it into their wifi router. Then I understand that they will be able to access those songs on the SONOS without any problems. They can then use the tablet as a remote control. Does this all sound correct, and are there any problems I'm missing?

Connecting SONOS speakers to existing hi-fi query.

Hi guys, I'm new to the SONOS forum, looking at purchasing several speakers soon, however I'm just curious with how the SONOS will work. I currently own a mini Hi-FI system, the Sony CMT-G2BNiP. Ideally I'd like to purchase a Play:5 and perhaps two Play:1's, and connect them to my TV and set them up as a surround sound setup. I'm wondering if it's possible to keep my current Sony speakers, and add them to this system. My understanding is I would have to purchase the Connect:Amp to do this? Would appreciate any advice on achieving this setup, Cheers, Tom.

Play 5 and two 1's

I currently have a play 5 that I've been using in a large living room for about 2 months. While I really like it, I often feel it has trouble filling the entire room. Anyway, I recently bought two play 1's (black Friday sale) that I planned on putting in a bedroom and kitchen for the full multi-room experience. However, I think I made the mistake of testing out the two 1's (stereo-paired) in the same room as the 5...the sound was absolutely incredible, a full surround system experience, and now I'm more conflicted than ever on what to do. I moved the 1's into their intended spots in the kitchen and bedroom, and while the multi-room experience is cool, I'm not crazy about how the 1's sound as stand-alone speakers (especially after listening in conjunction with the 5). What's the best approach from here? I don't want to spend that much more money here, but do want that surround sound in the living room back. Should I move the 1's back in the living room and get a 3 for the bedro

Advice on Installing a SUB in a cabinet

Any advice on installing a SUB in an entertainment unit? Had a suggestion that the bottom could be cut out to let the SUB sit on the floor. Another was to lay the SUB flat with the floor of the unit cut out larger than the speaker section. Though the SUB looks great we are looking to hide all the equipment in a unit. Any thoughts appreciated?

Need help picking a few things.

I have a few decisions to make, I was thinking of getting a sonos playbar and sub but with issues to Samsung JU series I will stick with my Samsung soundbar setup, unless people can convince me otherwise. I have 5 play 1's I live in a townhome and h have 5 alexa devices. I am able to get a Playbar $384 sub $384 play 3 $164.45 play 5 $219.45 I play 5 would be huge in my area, a play 3 I can totally handle, and I'm just worried about the playbar and sub combo. Any thoughts?

Play 5 vs Connect

Hi friends, I have a Play:3 and am looking at expanding my Sonos setup at home. I've had a Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1 for several years now which I love and I am trying to figure out if I should retire that and swap it for a Play:5 or if I should connect it via a Connect:AMP. Tough decision, but would love to get some feedback! Play:5 is obviously a more integrated solution and (maybe?) has better audio quality but the Beosound 1 is a gorgeous device and pairing it with the Connect could be a good bridge, but I'm not sure how it competes quality/experience wise. Best, Nick

Pair of 1s, 3s or a 5?

Hi there, I'm trying to setup my parents with Sonos for Christmas. We currently have a few Play 3s around the house, but I want to get a setup for our living room thats rather large (20 foot ceiling and open concept to the dinning room). I'm not sure between a pair of Play:1s (and eventually adding a Sub), pair or Play:3s or a single Play:5. Any recommendations or suggestions on what to think about? Thanks in advance! Colin

From Playbar to Playbase - same sound quality?

Hi All, I currently have a Playbar with two Play:1s and a Sonos sub in the living room. The Playbar does not fit in the room (it looks ugly), so we want to move it and buy a white Playbase instead. My question is will the Playbase be as good as the Playbar? We use a projector so there is no TV. I read some reviews that the Playbase has a hard treble which makes it more unsuitable than the Playbar. Is that true or is the sound quality the same? Thank you. JD

Is a 4.1 surround set-up possible?

Would it be possible to use four Play 1's and the Sub in a 4.1 surround sound setup (Left-Sub-Right) + (Left Rear - Right Rear)? Or is a Playbar required for the front speaker?

Best mount for the playbar ?

Just purchased the playbar, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a mount for the playbar that would enable me to hide the otpical cable to the back of the tv for a clean look? I see the Sonos official playbar mount and I also see some mounts online that attach to the back of your TV that hold the playbar directly below the tv and was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these. Thanks!

Play 3 Ceiling Mount

Playbar & Sub Plus Ceiling Speakers in same room

Have a 345 sq ft basement living / TV room (23' x 15'). Leaning towards a Playbar + SUB for simple TV watching, but was also considering a pair of ceiling speakers driven off a connect that would be shared with other rooms. When I decide to group all speakers together to play a single source in, say, "party mode", will I experience a delay between the Playbar + SUB and the connect-driven speakers in the same room?

Buying a Sonos system - what would you get?

My situation is I'm planning to buy a Playbar for my tv, etc and two Play:1s for other rooms. My place is under 700 sq. ft. and I don't think I need more than that. All my music, which is constantly on in my place, is on an iPod Classic that still works great, my laptop and iTunes Match. I'm convinced one day that Sonos and iTunes Match will somehow be friends, but when...? So here is what I'm debating, trying to balance expense vs. future system improvements and additions: -Buy an iPod touch and download all of my music on it (likely would get a 64GB) -Buy a Connect and line-in my iPod Classic -Boy a Play:5 and line-in my iPod Classic One day I may add a turntable and/or cd player to the mix. I think I'm leaning toward the Connect. What would you recommend? Thanks!

Connect Roku TV, LP player, AND Echo Dot to Sonos Play 1s via Connect Amp?

I'm wondering if I can use a Sonos Connect:Amp to connect my Roku TV, LP player (currently played through my Roku TV built-in speakers), and two Echo Dots (instead of waiting for the formal 2017 Sonos/Alexa integration) to my two Sonos Play:1 speakers. I use one Dot and one Play:1 in my bathroom and all else in my living room. More specifically, I'm wondering: 1. If all my Dots will play through the Sonos system if only one Dot is plugged in 2. If I can add the built-in Roku TV speakers to my Sonos system, to use as an extra set of speakers while streaming music from non-Roku devices or watching Roku TV 3. If I can connect my Roku TV, LP player, and Echo Dots to the Connect:Amp simultaneously

Sonos Amp to Sonos Connect for an Russound A Bus system

I have several Sonos speaker systems throughout our home. We also have direct wired speakers running into a Sonos Amp in a part of our home. The rest of the home is wired to a Russound A H4D Hub. In order to connect our Sonos system to that Hub, I need to use Analog In & Out jacks. Can I put a Sonos Connect between our Sonos Amp and the Hub? If so, how will I control the music system using my Sonos Ap?

Advice: Speaker Selection and Locations

Hi, I recently purchased two play 1's for my home office and set them up in stereo setting and really appreciate the output. As such, I have contemplated adding more Sonos units to my main living space. The primary purpose for the system is to play Spotify but would be a bonus if it worked as rear speakers if possible with my current TV/ home theater setup. [b]Current Equipment:[/b] - Denon AVR-S710W 525-Watt 7.2 Channel 3D Home Theatre Receiver - Mourdant Short (2 wall mounted speakers + 1 centre channel) [b]I am trying to determine if I should:[/b] 1) buy a Connect + 2 play 1's and use them as rear speakers for TV and also use them for music + a subwoofer 2) buy a play 5 since its new and use it for music alone and maybe later if new play 3's come out get two and move the play 5 elsewhere 3) In future, I may want to add wall mounted 2 Play 1's in diagonal corners of the dining room as well. Looking for thoughts on this placement as the room is a bit of a hexagon s

Connecting Samsung UN75J6300 to Playbar

I've read several posting about why I cant get them to connect, and I think the solution is an HDMI switch with optical output. Can anyone tell me if this is what I'm looking for? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJGAKCW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And if so can you further explain the switch and TV settings that I need to setup.

What is the best Sonos set up for my house?

I have two living room areas with smart TVs. For the upstairs living room I already have a Polk audio sound bar and sub woofer. As of now I think I will need the sonos connect(?)(and if I need this which one?) and a pair of additional sonos play1s. For the basement living room I'd like to get two sets of play 1s and a sonos bar and sub. Do I need a connect down here? I don't really know what I need. But that is what I think I might need. My end goal is to be able to have the system playing sound from the tv, YouTube videos thrown up on the screen from my phone (I have a Roku but anything other than Apple TV let me just throw stuff onto the tv?) and jump back and forth to Spotify with my phone during commercials etc. I think it would be cool to have voice activation capabilities too, google home maybe? Or Alexa? Or maybe neither would work. Let me know what you guys think, any help is appreciated as I'm brand new to sonos systems!
