QuestionCould the soundbar be connected to a CD player?
Asked 3 years ago by C.
- Answer It maybe could be if the CD player has an optical out. One could potential use the included optical to HDMI converter which is included in the box. Then go CD Player -> optical out -> Optical to HDMI converter -> HDMI cable -> Sonos Beam 2

QuestionI watch mostly TV through a streaming service, along with a few movies from Netflix or bluray/dvd. My biggest problem with my current system is muddled dialog. With a $900 budget is Beam 2 with mini sub base, or the Arc with no base a better choice?
Asked 3 years ago by jeff.
- Answer Hard one. I have the arc and the beam 2 with the big sub for the arc. The arc alone has great bass on its own. If your a person that enjoys dedication bass, the beam with sub mini will work fine for your budget. If you can get the arc and get the larger sub in the future that combination will make you smile everytime.

Asked 3 years ago by jeff.

QuestionI have two Sonos one (gen 2) and one Sonos five. Can they be connected to my tv without a sound bar?
Asked 3 years ago by George.
- Answer Technically yes but it’s no the preferred setup. I did this in a pinch when my old PLAY:BAR had issues. I connected the PLAY:5 to the TV using a 3.5mm cable and pair it to my SUB. I then grouped it with a pair of PLAY:1 in the rear. This will only play in stereo, not surround sound.
