Product is awesome, opened the app and setup was a breeze, took a few minutes and was done

Setup was relatively smooth -- as these things go -- but troubleshooting documentation could be better as well as clearer set-up instructions through the app.

Setup is easy enough - the Beam wants to be your single audio solution for TV and movie watching - and it's really nicely equipped to set that up easily and quickly over either HDMI or TOSLink fiber optic -

Great sound and easy setup with other Sonos for a surround system.

While the sound is great, when it works, any wireless setup will screw up on many different configurations

You can also add a pair of Sonos One speakers to act as true rear surround sound speakers and add the aforementioned subwoofer for a true 5.1 setup (although if you are wanting the rear surrounds and subwoofer you might be better off buying a regular receiver/speaker setup as the Sonos setup for 5.1 will cost you around $1500 and will not be nearly as flexible or configurable as a traditional setup)

This probably should have been obvious sooner except that it was responding like it was already setup

Setup was easy enough; the Sonos app remembered all the one-time settings to get onto my Wifi and was able to instruct the Beam to do that without any additional effort on my part.

The app walked me through a very fast setup, and even helped me sync our cable remote so we can use it for volume control

The setup is completely unsupported by Sonos customer service, so I was left to trying several different solutions to rig it together, and it just does not work

I then snarfed two other Play 1's for surround that I was using elsewhere....and in in under 15-min all setup and working like a champ

Setup was easy because my TV (a couple years old) has an HDMI-ARC output.

The result of this efficient cable setup is that I have a total of 3 cables:- A power cable for the TV- A power cable for the Sonos- An HDMI cable to connect them (This cable was included with the Sonos

One of the cooler setup tasks was room calibration using my iPhone as the calibration microphone

Incompatibilities with top brand TV’s is pretty unreal in this day and age

n’t trust either one.
