Sonos Symfonisk et décodeur TV UHD Orange

Bonjour,j’ai récemment fait l’acquisition d’une Symfonisk étagère chez Ikea, mon but premier étant de l’utiliser pour remplacer la barre de son de ma télé qui m’a lâché. Voyant que ça fonctionnait en Wifi et non en bluetooth et qu’il n’y avait pas de prise jack, j’ai bien demandé à la vendeuse si je pouvais la relier à mon décodeur TV via mon réseau Wifi et elle m’a dit oui. Pour le moment, je n’ai pas réussi à la faire fonctionner pour faire sortir le son de ma TV, et d’après les quelques infos que j’ai pu trouver sur internet ça me paraît impossible. Quelqu’un a déjà réussi à la faire fonctionner de cette façon ? Si c’est impossible, quel modèle me conseilleriez-vous pour cet usage là ? Actuellement j’utilise ma JBL charge 3 temporairement branché en AUX mais j’aimerais une barre de son (ou autre modèle du genre de la Stmfonisk). Merci !

CONFUSED about AMP upgrade

I have been using SONOS for several years.   I have a wired system connected to my older Amplifier and decided to add SONOS wireless speakers.    I purchased CONNECT and BRIDGE, whereupon CONNECT was connected to the Amplifier and I could control everything (the wired speakers and the SONOS speakers) through the SONOS App on my phone.   With the release of the S2 controller I decided to upgrade.  Neither CONNECT nor BRIDGE is compatible, so I purchased AMP, believing it was a newer replacement for CONNECT.   Unfortunately I cannot seem to add my older wired system to my SONOS controlled system. ??? What am I doing wrong? Have I messed up by upgrading?

Home Theater Setup with Arc

We’re setting up a home theater in a small-ish room [11’ x 13’, 8’ ceiling] and have ordered an Arc to use with a LG 65Nano90. Would it be good to add a Sub or would we find it to be too much for the room? I know the Sub will add bass [you can feel] and all that [yes, we like bass], but is this what we need for the room? Would a couple of one’s balance out the room better. Thanks!

Sonos Amp/Ceiling Speakers Connect Wirelessly to Sound Bar/TV for Surround Sound?

Hi, I am looking to setup a surround sound system using a Sonos sound bar (connected directly to TV) combined with third-party ceiling speakers for the rear sound. I current have a Connect:Amp wired for the ceiling speakers, but am under the impression it will not work with a sound bar without connecting the bar directly through ethernet to the router or the Connect:Amp. The setup/locations of my devices prevents this.So my question is if I purchased the newer Sonos Amp, will I be able to wirelessly pair it to a Sonos sound bar (that is connected to the TV)? If so, which sound bar would I need?And is there a specific method of connection between the TV and that Sonos sound bar that I would need so that I can control all the speakers (including the ceilings ones) through a single remote?

Question regarding Port and Sonos Sub

Quick Question-I recently purchased a new house which has 8 in-ceiling speakers connected to a 2 channel stereo receiver. I am planning on buying a port to connect to the receiver, so that I can add these in-ceiling speakers to my sonos ecosphere. I already own a sonos beam, sub, (2) play 1s, and a move that I have been using in my previous home. I read that it isn’t possible to “attach” the sub to the port (or the in ceiling speakers). My question is this: If I attach the sub to the beam as I have in the past, and then pair the beam/sub to the port so they all play the same thing in unison? Thanks, Ben

Sonos One group with Siri using Apple Watch

Hello Could you please help me before proceeding with the purchase of 6 units of Sonos One? 1. Can six Sonos One work in groups?2. I would like to talk to Siri via Apple Watch and hear Siri's response simultaneously across all 6 Sonos One in the Group. Her responses and also her actions, like playing my favorite song. It is possible?3. I would like to make any sound played by my iphone or apple watch to be played simultaneously on all 6 Sonos One in the Group. It is possible? It is not about when I use the Sonos App to play something for it, but to make any sound that would be played on the Iphone or Apple Watch be played on all 6 Sonos One at the same time, for example, podcasts, messages audio, youtube videos and even calls. I live alone and I move around the house a lot and I didn't want to lose the audio that happens while I move from a room to another. The problem is that I think it will work well when I use the Sonos App to make something plays, since the App uses Wifi which has

Best setup with existing wired speakers

Just bought a house which has the following:  In the family room, 4 wired infinity ceiling speakers and an in floor subwoofer. Outdoors:  2 in ceiling infinity speakers on porch. wiring:  all speaker wires run to family room cabinet under the TV. The subwoofer wires are currently connected to a Polk SWA500 amp in the same cabinet under TV, which was left in the home.  The speaker wires are not connected to anything (I do not have a receiver yet).  My goals:  setup 5.1 surround sound for TV.  Add wireless sonos speakers to kitchen and dining room. Create multiple zones for music at least in terms of volume (I don’t need to play one song in dining room and another outside, I just want to be able to turn outside off or at reduced volume versus dining room but they can play same thing). Zones:  family room (wired), outdoors (wired), kitchen (wireless), dining room (wireless).  what is the best way to accomplish this?  Can’t figure out if I should get the sonos amp, the port, a home theater

Setup for small living room

I have fairly small living room (about @15-20 sq. m) and my current setup is: Beam +  2 Symfonisk as surrounds (+ when listening music) and Move.  I would like to get Five as my main music player but would that be overkill in my small condo? Symfonisks as stereo pair and Move are already pretty good in it. What you guys think I should get next?I'm getting 65" inch TV with Dolby Atmos, should I get arc with it? Ive been super happy with beam tho..

Arc + 4 Ceiling speakers or 2 One SLs

For the living room tv area, I will be buying Sonos Arc with subwoofer. As the space I have is big, so I am thinking of connecting 4 Sonos in-ceiling speakers with Sonos Amp. Can I create Surround Sound, Dolby Atmos sound experience with this set up?Alternatively will I get a better experience if I only connect 2 One SLs instead of 4 In-Ceiling speakers?

Updating TV surround sound system

I have a new Samsung 65 in OLED tv. I have linked it to my existing surround sound system with 5 speakers a sub woofer and a 7 year old pioneer amp. I’m using ARC to route the sound through the amp to my system. I am having problems in the following areas :--powering the system on without having to use 3 separate controls-the pioneer software is dated and doesnt allow the full quality of picture.-the sound isnt everything I’d hoped forIf I replaced the amp with a new Sonos amp would it solve my issues?

System trade up confusion. - eligible devices

Hi - Pretty sure im not the only one but i’m extremely confused by the the trade up and whether my products are compatible with S2.   I have an old play 3, play 1, connect amp and a bridge.. On the my system page under the upgraded section it lists the connect and bridge.  I can print off a shipping label for these.   Does this mean that if i send them off then i will get a free replacement sent to me? On the trade up page i see my play 1 and play 3 as expected.   And i’m able to use the 30% offer. Im interested to find out as i wanted to upgrade to a new play 3 and a sonos beam set with 2 play1’s and a woofer.  Im holding back on this purchase as i’m unsure what i need to do with the connect amp and boost. Im also a little concerned about system reception, as it stands its a little flakey and im unsure as the whether it has fallen back to wifi rather than sonos mesh.   Will the connectivity be better with s2, i have sky, will that still cause issues as it does now. Thanks for your hel

Home Theater Upgrade-Best of 5 Choices?

I am replacing my home theater tv with a new LG CX (which is eARC compatible). Currently I have a 10 year old Yamaha with regular front, center, rear ceiling and sub driving everything (no Sonos). Looking at potentially upgrading, and the way it appears I have 5 options:Leave as is and just plug in. Cost $0. No sound enhancement, no Sonos & lots of clutter. Sonos Arc, Sub & Amp for rear ceiling. Cost $1500 or so using 2 trade up credits.  Sonos Arc, Sub & Rear. Cost $1300 or so using 1 trade up credit. Plus would probably buy stands to put behind and not hang because of cord so another $200+. 2 Amps, one to drive the current front speakers and current sub and 1 to drive the current rear speakers. Lose center channel I believe? Cost $900 or so using 2 trade up credits. Use 2 configuration as above, lose the Amp for rear ceiling and repurpose either two Play 1s or Play 3s for rear. Uses only 1 trade up credit but would have to buy stands so about $1100 + $200+ for stands.If m
