    There was a requirement needed that is a smart phone to set up and use the product. You will need to download an app to setup and use the product. This did not work for me so I needed to return the product.

    This is about Best Buy, not the Sonos Ray. They sent the product with a missing plug, three chats and two phone calls later, I've been lied to, given the run around, and not sent the missing part. All I asked for was the part. They offered a new Ray, then cancelled the offer without telling me. They then offered a full refund. Weird but OK, all I wanted was the plug. I said OK. They never refunded me anything. I was lied to in the chat. The phone was no better. Run from Best Buy.... Run as fast as you can!

      Posted .

      Hi there,

      I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Ray soundbar. Let's figure out why it's not connecting reliably and why you can't use your TV remote!

      Troubleshooting Steps:

      Connection Type:

      Please confirm if you've connected the Ray to your TV using an optical cable. This is crucial for troubleshooting.
      App Setup:

      Open the Sonos app and head to Settings -> System -> [Your Room Name] -> Home Theater -> Remote Control Setup.
      Follow the on-screen prompts to configure your TV remote to control the Ray.
      TV Settings (optical connection):

      Check your TV's audio settings and ensure "Audio Out" is set to "Optical" (or "Digital Out").
      Enable "External Speakers" or similar options in your TV's sound settings.

      I hope this helps! john.milton

    We ended up returning this sound bar. First, when GS went to install it, the mounting bracket was not included. We tried the tv with it's own sound and are satisfied for now. May look for sound bar later

    Set Up Issues

    When setting up the soundbar, the app gets to the point where you need to set up your TV remote. When trying to set that up, that app consistently fails. Called customer service and they let me know it’s a known issue and there is no fix. IR remotes can not be paired currently, and you would have to use the app or buttons to change volumn. All I was told is “engineering is working on it”. So be prepared to pay a premium price and an essentially unusable product. Other users are reporting similar problems lately, looking at other . So for now, look elsewhere. Silver lining is you can get sound out of it.

    Very nice sound, the only problem is no HDMI connection which doesn’t allow you to use the tv or any remote control to adjust the volume. You can only control the volume by the Sonos app or manually on the ray.

    It was a great speaker and it had the features I needed but we returned it because the price of the Sonos Arc came down significantly for the holiday season and that was what I truly wanted. I did strongly consider keeping this and selling my old Sonos Playbar but I really like that speaker.
