QuestionCan this soundbar withstand heat, cold, etc? Looking to use it and leave it outside with patio tv
Asked 1 year ago by Doc.
- Answer No, the Sonos Ray soundbar is not designed to withstand outdoor conditions such as extreme heat, cold, humidity, or exposure to the elements. It's intended for indoor use in controlled environments where temperature and humidity levels are within typical household ranges. Using the Sonos Ray soundbar outdoors, especially in environments with fluctuating temperatures and exposure to moisture, can lead to damage to the internal components and compromise its performance and longevity. Additionally, exposure to sunlight and UV rays can also cause discoloration and damage to the materials.

Questioncan i stream a tv show from my android
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The Sonos Ray is a soundbar that's designed to enhance the audio experience of your TV, but it doesn't have the capability to directly stream TV shows or other content from your Android device. However, if your TV supports streaming from your Android device (for example, through screen mirroring or casting), you can typically stream content to your TV and then enjoy the enhanced audio through the Sonos Ray. Additionally, if you have a Sonos Beam, Sonos Arc, or other Sonos speakers that support Bluetooth, you may be able to stream audio from your Android device directly to the Sonos speaker using Bluetooth, though this would be separate from streaming the TV show itself. Keep in mind that the specific capabilities may vary depending on your TV model and your Sonos setup, so I recommend consulting the user manuals or contacting Sonos support for further assistance tailored to your setup.

QuestionWhen the soundbar is connected does sound come out of the soundbar and the tv or only the soundbar?
Asked 1 year ago by Dan.
- Answer My personal experience with the Sonos soundbar and my LG OLED TV is that you can have one or the other sound source. I chose to turn off/mute the volume on the TV and use the soundbar exclusively. I have not used the sound syncing/delay option on the smart TV to utilize both the TV and soundbar at the same time... but why would I? I find the soundbar audio quality far superior to the TV's built in speaker/audio system.

QuestionWill the Sonos beam or ray work with a custom built pc with a 750watt power supply or are these mainly made to work with just TVs.?
Asked 2 years ago by Steven.
- Answer So, as they are advertised to be used with TVs, I have a Sonos ray for my pc on my desk. if you have the desk space and an arc port on the back of your pc the beam is a better choice. but be aware that windows does not always play nice with arc so I would suggest the Ray.

QuestionCan the ray soundbar be grouped with any of the other Sonos speaker to create a mono sound system. Not looking for surround sound in my application. Looking for audio sound from the tv to be evenly distributed through a large entertainment room.
Asked 3 years ago by Slvv01.
- Answer Yes, you can choose to group the soundbar with other sonos speakers in the app, just like other groups. I'm able to hear a TV show playing in the living room throughout my apt if I want or I can play music through all of my speakers while a TV show still plays through the soundbar.

QuestionI purchased 2x Sonos SL One Gen2 speakers, didnt realize that you also need a Sonos soundbar to sync with my Samsung TV. I read that the Beam will work via "e ARC" but see the Ray only connects via Fiberoptic. Is there a difference or preference?
Asked 3 years ago by Kevin.
- Answer if youre looking for sound quality, beam if youre looking for lowest price get the ray beam the beam features simulated Dolby Atmos using an Earc connection. Dolby Atmos is an audio technology that surrounds you in a 3d space with the potential of pinpoint accuracy. Ray the Ray is a simple 2.0 sound bar that provides clear simple sound that is provided by only 2 drivers and 2 tweeters with 2 bass ports to help enhance the lows. this small soundbar is good for smaller rooms.

QuestionYes I was wondering can you purchase a remote ? Thanks
Asked 3 years ago by Tark1010.
- Answer Found a way to do it set up you remote with Ray To add a new remote control, you need to open the app, select Settings, System and then select your Sonos Ray. Tap Use IR and then tap the Remote Control Setup option. Follow the wizard through and tap the buttons on your remote control while it’s pointing at the Ray. This should work, although we had the problem that our TV uses Bit Toggling: each button alternates between two IR codes. https://www.trustedreviews.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-the-sonos-ray-4236285?fbclid=IwAR3mdVXM14LogJpVOIUSoobtFxgS7r_IFyg5VxreCCF_avB7mgW4Hi_g7s0
