If you haven't gotten a device to pass through the correct audio signal, you're not experiencing how great this system could sound

The Sonos sytem setup process didn't have any problems using its signal

Be warned, the wireless signal interferes with TV broadcast signal

Talking of evening viewing, if you’ve had enough of staring at a plethora of illuminated device LEDs when watching TV, you can choose to extinguish the PLAYBAR’s side indicator light and front-facing IR signal light that illuminates with a tap of the volume control

Most TVs have a handy optical audio out port that sends the sound from your TV to a more awesomer sound system...and most TVs change it into a lame 2-channel stereo signal on the way out

but as i learned from other users, sound signal will be down mixed to stereo if the TV doesn't support bitstream

You must dumb down the signal to PCM or stereo instead of Dolby Surround or Dolby Plus

your home network devices, (i.e. your PC(s), laptop(s), and handheld(s)), on which you installed the free SONOS app(s), and3

This device is as awful as I suspected

I would never buy a Sonos product again until their wifi technology is better tested and works as it should.

No "well you just have to..." or "sometimes it does xyz, but overall i'm happy" no sinking feeling that the next great thing you built up in your head isn't quite as great as you built it up to be

Hopefully Sonos eventually realizes that they need other connection options, but regardless, for now works extremely well for me as I have it set up

Sonos is legendary for a good reason - because they really produce these components for the discerning consumer as well as for the neophyte looking for new sonic frontiers

It's great to be able to send my 40 or so digital music channels from my cable provider throughout the house as well as to finally have my DVD player connected

Sonos still doesn't seem to be quickly developing software updates for it's current line of offerings which leaves me worried as to the longevity of the current speaker technology.

this didn't bug me as much as it should because my TV is mounted on the wall and there is no space for a blu-ray player anyway

I'll add more as I gain insights.

Setup was a bit of a challenge at first - I did not start out with a Sonos bridge - which I highly recommend as it creates a separate wifi network for your Sonos system
