Product Manuals
Q: Anybody buy JUST the playbar?
A: Yes...I have only the playbar (well only the playbar hooked to my tv, i have several other sonos components in the rest of my house) and it works amazingly better than the standard speakers on my tv (and I have a huge expensive tv). The playbar is used by itself...and bonus, the app allows you to mute louder sounds at night with the nighttime feature so if you're awake and the kid is asleep and you don't want to wake her, you can still listen to the voices and sounds at a similar volume without having your finger on the "trigger" to lower/raise the volume all the time. I can't wait to add the sub myself, but right now I only have playbar and I love it!
Q: does soundbar come on with tv remote
A: The sonos sound bar allows you to set up your existing remote to control it. You can also control it from your smartphone or tablet.
Q: Does the Sonos soundbar come with the optical cord?
A: The Sonos does come with an optical cable.
Q: Will this work with both the Sonos system & the t.v.?
A: Absolutely! just click on the app and click TV. it's that simple
Q: Should the playbar be used as a center speaker?
A: The playbar definitely is the center speaker in this system. Then you can pair with a sonos sub and either two play 1s or two play 3s or if you're really excited about sound two play 5s. Essentially the playbar, in a typical 5.1 setup is the center speaker and the front side two speakers as well.
Q: Will it play FM radio stations?
A: Yes through it will through the sonos app.
A: Under tv. You always want the soundstage to come from as close to the visual source as possible. Moving the audio away or out in front of the tv could cause lip sync issues but also it would not be a very good listening experience when watching shows.
A: I HAVE MINE LAID FLAT AND IT SOUNDS THE SAME AS WHEN I STAND IT UP
