A:AnswerThe only products that we make that are designed to plug in directly to the Tv are Arc, Beam, and Amp. Any of our other products can play tv sound, but only if they are grouped with on of our speakers that are designed to work with your tv.
A:AnswerYes, it will pair. You'll need to use the Sonos app that you will have to load to your Mac. You can also play using "Stream What You Hear" from your computer. If you're not tech savy it can be annoying in the beginning.
A:AnswerI have play 1’s installed in this same manner underneath a patio cover in Las Vegas. They are subjected to the heat and the cold but work great. Have had no issues with leaving them outside.
A:AnswerThe only way you can connect this speaker to play the same thing as the other speakers is if you have two of them and it is set up as your rear speakers. This is how I have my system set up and love it. The sound is amazing with two of these as the rear speakers.
A:AnswerI have two sonos 5 speakers with an Arc/sub. I added the two 5s as part of the souround sound setup and I am able to control volume on all speakers through the phone app or through the touch controls.
A:AnswerHi, and thanks for your questions. No, the Five would not be compatible with the wifi receiver. However we do have the Sonos Port if you'd like to make that receiver work with Sonos.

As far as the Google Hub, we can integrate with that. You could tell it to play "x" in the Living room and your speaker named Living Room will start playing music.
