A:AnswerYou can have the sounder and satellite speakers in different rooms, and control the sound output through your phone. With the Playbar, you can also have different sounds playing in different rooms simultaneously, ie: tv sound in one room and iTunes or Alexa in another.
A:AnswerIf it’s in your budget, I would highly recommend the sound bar and the Sub. Set up is very quick and easy. The Sonos app makes setting up everything a breeze. Sound is amazing and clear.
A:AnswerI have 2016 and 2018 Samsung 4K tv's. It should work with no problem. I also have a Bose Life Style 650 in another room, and the SONUS Playbar with the BASE sounds almost as good as the Bose, especially for less than 1/3 of the cost
A:AnswerIt may affect it a little because you calibrate the sound bar to the room you are going to put it in. I would think that if you calibrate it in a little confined space it may affect it. I would calibrate it from just outside the little niche, and then go ahead and slide it in there afterward.
A:AnswerThere is a bracket that can be purchased for mounting the bar nearly anywhere. The sound will change based on the environment the speaker is in. if it is close to a wall or surface, this may introduce a sound reflection. If that is a good or a bad thing depends on the room and the listener.
A:AnswerI am not sure if it has a built-in setting, but I have not noticed the sound getting louder with commercials like it did before I got my Sonos system.
A:AnswerYes the sound bar gives you a surround sound. Sonos Recommends using additional play ones for more of a Surround sound. As far as your other speakers I'm using Sonos amps, you can push two speakers per amp. If you use just the Sonos player I added a 800 watt amp and it is pushing 6 each 8 1/2 high end built in speakers, the sound is awesome.
A:AnswerAbsolutely! Also, Adding the subwoofer is a great enhancement. I had my sound bar for a week and went back a week later and got the subwoofer (no regrets).
A:AnswerTo get 5.1 sound you need the PLAYBAR, woofer, and 2 shelf speakers. The optical out from your TV will play anything inputted on the PLAYBAR in digital sound.
