I am trying to set up a Sonos Amp, Sonos ceiling speakers, Sonos play bar, and Sonos sub. I have an LG OLED C3. I’m having trouble configuring the tv between the hdmi arc and optical cable for the sound bar. Any thoughts?
How do I connect my projector/tv/sky box to my Sonos arc, as the Sonos has only one HDMI port, if you could sketch a drawing of how to wire up the appliances, thanks.
Excelent qurstion Peter. You can use this : geni.us/HdmiAudioExtractor You will be able to reach the projector with the HDMI and you will have a optical out for Sonos. You will be able to use the optical to HDMI adapter that come with your Sonos Sound Bar.
Great Video Pascual! I do have 3 Sonos 5 connected to S1 app, And just bought the Arc, 2 Five’s and the subwoofer. My question is do I need to add the to my existing account or need to open a new one with the New update Sonos app? Thank you
This is the best video I’ve seen. There doesn’t seem to be a manual for Sonos. I didn’t know that you needed an I phone to tune the speakers. I wondered why it wasn’t working.
Fantastic video! You may have covered this, but could you explain how to connect additional front surrounds in this setup using a Connect:amp and/or a Sonos amp with ceiling speakers or another set of Bluetooth speakers? Appreciate your assistance.
So professor I thinking about purchasing the sonos amp ultra bar and gen4 with the 300's but based on your take on the 300's not feeling them your opinion on the 100's is the way to go can you go further in an in depth video as to why" thanks
Era 300 are not bad speaker, but I think they are too expensive for the sound quality they deliver. Two Era 300 will play better that two Era 100. But I prefer two Era 100 over one Era 300. The new Arc look amazing.
I have a play 5 in my garage man cave. In living room I have a sub, sound bar and two play 3s. Also have two play ones in kitchen. I also have the sonos move and the roam and move thoese randomly. My question is for my living room set up for movies, sports and regular TV and also music is it better to pair up two play ones or two play 3s with sub and sound bar? Or should I place the two play ones in living room two with rest of speakers?? One more question, when watching movies can I pair up the sonos move and roam with existing living room set up or no??
I would setup the play3 as a cinema with the bar and sub. For the move and roam, or any other speaker, I would not merge it with a playing movie as there would be a very small delay.
As indicted in my comment below, I have recently purchased a Beam with Sub (Gen2) and two Sonos One speakers (the Sub has not arrived yet). The Beam and Sub are in my family room where I also have two Paradigm in wall speakers. There are two ceiling Paradigm speakers in the kitchen which is open to the family room. The two Sonos One speakers are in the living room. My plan is to buy a Sonos amp to connect the two Paradigm wall speakers in the family room and the two Paradigm ceiling speakers in the kitchen into the Sonos system. My understanding is that one amp could connect all four Paradigm speakers and that all I have to do is to make sure I connect the right speakers wires for both rooms together in the amp right side banana plug. Am I correct in this plan. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi badger. Yes you can but I recommend you to buy two amp as your speaker are not in the same room. You will surely enjoy indidual volume control. Take a look at that video. th-cam.com/video/kZFTYcFCLvc/w-d-xo.html
@@HowToPM Thank you for the speedy reply. I have already spent more than I had planned and, as the Sonos amps are quite expensive, I would prefer not to have to get two amps. The kitchen and family room are open to each other and the TV in the family room is clearly watchable from the kitchen. When listening to music or watching TV in the family room we want to be able to also hear it in the kitchen without having to crank up the volume in the family room. There is already a separate volume control in the kitchen for the ceiling speakers so they can be turned off if necessary. I really enjoyed the link you sent to the amp instructional video. As usual, it is an awesome video and most helpful. We did a reno and ripped out an old sound system with various components and speakers through out the house but neglected to label all the wires in the wall. It has taken me numerous hours of testing with toners and multimeters (and learning how to use them) to track down which wires go to which speakers and continuity etc. May I suggest you do a video on how to trace speaker wires and test for continuity. Merci bien Monsieur, salut from the west coast on Vancouver Island.
Oh well if it is a continuity of the same room, that sound more resonable to me. Even more as you have a seperate in wall volume control. Then you have my GO! 😉 Good idea to make a video about how to trace a speaker. The easiest way I can quickly describe you would be to pop a battery on the other end of the cable. Touch + and -, you will ear it pop every time. And thank you for your comment my dear neighbor of the very west. 😉 PS. You can order your amp juste right here : geni.us/Sonosamp I make a commission on those links. 😉
A couple of years ago, I hooked my sonos beam and play ones to my old motorola router. I had to upgrade my router, and now have a Netgear Nighthawk router. Now, I have a mess. I have an iphone, and when I go to "add product", I do not see my beam or my two play ones on the system. I will be honest, I cannot remember how to set up. Are there buttons on the beam, and the play ones that I need to push, so it will be recognized on my iphone, so I can add it. Thanks.
Technically you can't connect a SUB to a Connect. This device is made to be connected to a receiver or a AMP, you must connect your non Sonos sub to that receiver. I understand it's frustrating, but technically speaking, it's logical that you can't.
after watch the video i like to add a sonos playbar to my audio system i have a sony receiver with hdmi and optical and a subwoofer connected via rca, is possible combine sonos playbar and work together with my receiver and sub if i connect my optical from receiver to sonos playbar ? appreciate you answer....
You don't need your receiver anymore if you have a playbar... But if your receiver have an optical output (I doupt it does, receiver generally have optical inputs) yes you can.
I live in the countryside and use hotspot for my devices what should i do? Now my device wont show up on my set up menu and im really opted to just return it.
I want to buy arc ,sub and 2 one sl for the tv. The router is in the basement while the place I want to have the system is in the ground floor. Although, next to the arc there will be a wifi access point. Can I connect the arc to the access point?
If your acces point have an output you could. Otherwise I would just put that device connect to the router in the basement : geni.us/SonosBoost I talk about that device into that video : th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html
Having issues with Sonos Move speakers connecting to Nighthawk mesh system. Model MR60 with two satililtes. Constantly lossing connecting; app unable to find Sonos system. Please help.
Unfortunately I did not yet made a video about it, but on any Wi-Fi network, a mesh system is often a mess. Messhing is not a solution, it's a nightmare. If you want a reliable Wi-Fi at home, une AP (Access Point). The difference is that they are wired to your network. I know it's not always easy to pass cable everywhere, but it's the real solution.
HI there, I have just purchased Sonos move a couple of hours ago, was wondering how to play iTunes music on iphone (not Apple Music or other streaming music platforms) on sonos move via Wi-Fi?
I’m trying to connect my tv audio to my Sonos amp. I can play my music through my ceiling speakers but it is not recognizing my tv and audio. Do I have to be plugged directly into the tv with my amp or can it Bluetooth?
I have a question. When you adjust the eq after doing true play does that then change the settings that the true play had set for the room and the speakers?
I have question and I hope you can help me. I have a large room. At one end is a beam, a sub and two ones set up for surrounds. It works great when watching movies and I tuned it using Trueplay. At the other end of the room I have a 3 and 1. When I choose to listen music through all the speakers it just doesn't sound right. Should I use the EQ to then tune for the sound I want when listening to music?
Hi We have a room with 4 speakers mounted in the ceeling. Can we connect them 2+2 to the Sonos AMP or do we need 2xSonos AMPs? What about the sound optimisation ?
Good, long, detailed video…. but in all that information I still can’t find what I’m looking for… which is how do I connect to my wifi (for the first time) without an Ethernet cable? Is it because my Sonos One is second hand, Sonos don’t want me to be able to use it? Thank you.
Hi, thx for the video, i have a question: let's say i can get 5 second hand Sonos One for a good price opportunity, if I were to then just additionally buy a Sonos Sub, would I be able to make it into a 5.1?
The presenter is uncommonly talented. Humor is pretty individual, but I thought he was fabulous in that department, too. Informative, good pacing - hits ALL THE RIGHT NOTES. Just a warning for anyone who reads this - if Sonos isn't (this isn't paranoia - somebody with an absolute ZERO customer-friendly orientation thought it made sense to pull the plug on older devices [just like Apple and many others]) STILL ACTIVELY TRYING to get everybody to retire well-made and well-performing devices to boost their stock price, ... well, that's how it looks. Try setting up a Play:3 - A person who valued his time more would have given up. The presenter covers SO MUCH, but Sonos - again, who knows why - probably has 20 "in use" versions of software, depending on phone or tablet or ??, and YMMV (you might get an error message for no reason I can think of), even if you do just what you're told. (I wound up "downgrading" my device so the S1 app could handle it.) There's some good stuff in the Sonos online forums. LOTS OF bad (inaccurate) stuff in what Sonos calls "documentation."
Thank you for your comment Peter! Yes you are right, Sonos is not a super great company in some way. It was awesome in their first years, but they took a darker side over the time. Still, their device work wonderfully well, almost never broke even after many years, and for most of them they suport it for a long time. So it's not all dark, but it's for sure grey. ;)
Hello sir. First of all thanks for taking the time for a lovely detailed video. If the sonos port is connected via ethernet, will it still be discoverable in the app? Pls advise. Thanks.
Great video! Question: My home router is an eero Pro 6 mesh system. The "main" router (connected to the modem) is on my lower level while my Sonos system is on the upper level of my home. I have two (identical) satellite routers, one of which is located near my Sonos system and connected to the Boost. Should I instead wire the Boost to my main router (on the lower level) that's connected to the modem? Thank you.
Always connect it to the main one. I don't believe into those mesh router system. The previous term for that was Repeater and I always had terrible experience with it. Nothing is better than a cable. So yes connect the Boost to the main router.
I set up Boost as a first device using Sonos mobile app with a wire to router. Then I added 2 Sonos One to the system without wires. But now I see Boost and both speakers connected to the router (I see them in the lost of connected devices with different ip addresses. Is it how it should work? I thought that speakers shoudn’t come up in router’s connected devices list and they should be connected to the Boost instead.
Thank you for your reply. I just bought 2 more Sonos one thinking I can add it to my existing surround system. What do you recommend how I can make use of those 2 new ones? Thanks again.
Hi, sorry i have a question. I want to make a home cinema in my house, but i want to use a projector (it has android tv) Can i connect via wireless all my devices? Or is it mandatory to connect at least one device? The problem with this case is that the projector needs to be in a ceiling and is very far away from de sonos beam, so is a bit hard to connect the projector and sonos bar via cable... I don't know if explained myself haha, sorry english is not my native language.
The connection for network is not mandatory, just highly recomended. But for the sound of your prejector, you really need to connect it with a cable to your speaker. At least the front one. There is no other options. No worry, english is not my native language neither. 😉
Nice video. I have connected my sonos one sl's as surround speakers. When I use the ethernet ports on the speakers, one of the speakers skips the sound, and the other speaker does not work (no sound at all). When I use the wifi feature, the speaker that did not work started working, but the other speaker would still skip the sound. Is there something else that I can do?
One question: Is the volume you adjust on the phone separate from the volume you adjust on the speaker itself? So, if I lower the speaker manually, will the phone be able to raise the volume beyond that point?
They are link toguether. If you lower the volume on the speaker, it lower the volume of the speaker and so you will be able to see it on the app. The app is just a remote.
Morning Pascal, Fabulous video thank you! I do have a question you may be able to help me resolve. Recently updated my router and reconnected SONOA/Alex. Now When asking Alex to play, say, Billie Eilish songs, it only plays one track and stops. This regardless of the artist or playlist? Any ideas on how to sort this one?
@@HowToPM Thanks anyway. Heads up - I have been using Alex VC since I purchased they system and this is my very 1st and only issue. I actually find it very convenient.
GREAT video, very helpful and informative even after I had set up my system. The issue I’m having now is cutting out or just not playing music only when I play over AirPlay from my iPhone 11Pro. I’ve rebooted my router, changed it, reset my phone, gotten the Boost and the issue still keeps happening. Any suggestions? Oh I added the Boost after my speakers were already set up... should I start all over and add the Boot first then set up my speakers?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment. Well, about the airplay, I found that it is a terrible technology. I tested it with many kind of device in multiple case and location and that is always the problem I had. It cut, cut, and cut again. It is an unreliable technology. The problem is not your phone, your router or the Sonos system, it's just the airplay technology. You should use the Sonos app instead or maybe even cast. It will be way better. The sound quality of the airplay is also terrible. There is a huge compression.
Hi, great video ! Do I need to re do the trueplay when I need to remove the ones from the surround setup and combine the ones again as surround? Hopefully my question is not confusing 😬
Ahah. I totally understand. That is a good question however. I would guess that they don't remember the previous setup when you broke the room. But I don't get why you would like to remove it from the cinema to put them back together later? You can have a setup for music and for TV so that the surround play in full when you listen to music.
@@HowToPM It just sometimes I just want to listen to the music from 1 of the ones instead of playing the whole surround setup(beam,sub + 2 ones)m and only want to connect the 2 ones for surround just for movies :D. I am so trouble.
J'aimerais savoir si cest possible de connecter des produit sonos a la télé a noter que la télé n'est pas bluethooth les seuls vidéos que je trouve a ce sujet sont fait avec la soundbar que je n'ai pas j'ai sonos Move/roam/one/et 2 SIMPHONISK étagère merci beaucoup !

Hi Juan. Well the dialogue will depend on the movie. But most of the time, dialogue only come from the front center speaker. About the connection, please take a look at this video : th-cam.com/video/CpcFYoqOLF8/w-d-xo.html Note however sonos only support 5.1.
Salut Pascal, j'espère que tu te portes bien. Je viens de France et j'ai un gros souci avec mon matériel Sonos. Je possède deux PLAY 1 - une PLAYBASE - et un SUB. Le problème est que depuis un long moment j'ai remarqué que l'application a retiré le mode Bibliothèque ( ce qui te permet de jouer ta propre playlist que tu as volontairement mis dans ton téléphone ou tablette) je n'ai aucun abonnement, ou de spotify ect... quand tu vas dans les recherches et que tu tapes un titre ou le nom d'un artiste, il y'a rien qui sort tu vois? qu'est ce que tu pourrais me conseiller ? Est ce que je dois télécharger un nouveau lecteur? je ne sais plus quoi faire. j'ai investi cher sur cet appareil pour ça tu vois? je serais presque tenté de tout revendre à cause de ca. j'espere que tu pourra me donner de ta lumiere sur cette sombre affaire lol. merci pasca
C'est en effet une option que Sonos à malheureusement retiré depuis un moment. Ta meilleur solution serait de mettre ta musique sur ton ordinateur ou un NAS sur ton réseau pour pouvoir la faire jouer à partir de Sonos. th-cam.com/video/JGhTcgMxCEk/w-d-xo.html Sinon il est maintenant possible de le faire par bluetooth en ajoutant un seul haut-parleur de nouvelle génération : th-cam.com/video/EWGdUNue7YE/w-d-xo.html PS, il n'était vraiment pas nécessaire de m'envoyer 4 fois le même message sur 4 vidéo différentes.
Hi, I just bought a Sonos one but I am getting stuck at the step of connection to WiFi.. I intend to have only one speaker now and hence don't want to buy a Sonos boost.. Moreover, the WiFi network that I am using is provided by the apartments where we stay.. so we have a username and password but don't have a router that can be accessed.. can you help me?
Hum. You might not like my answer, but still this is it. th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html If your only posibility is to conect the speaker to a kind of public network, Sonos is probably not the device for you if you get trouble when setting it up.
You explain things very well in your videos. I'm thinking about buying a Sonos amp and two 5 speakers. I have some great B&W speakers that I'd like to keep though. Can I connect two wired B&W speakers and two wireless Sonos 5 speakers at the same time? I think the answer is no, but I haven't been able to figure that one out.
Hi Doctor Zumzum. Well sure you can use this Sonos amp : geni.us/Sonosamp With two Sonos Five : geni.us/Sonos5 The Sonos 5 have it's own amp. That would do a super great kit. Every Sonos speaker can play the same thing at the same time. You might be interested into this video in wich I present all of them : th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html And maybe this one about the speaker connection to the AMP. I hope it will help. Do not hesitate if you have any other questions. 😉

I have changed my router so need to reconnect my Sonos I’m using a boost - but when I go to s1 app if won’t find my “boost” It’s got Ethernet plugged in correctly Power is on Lights are flashing on back of boost where cable joins I have unplugged for 30sec or more and reconnected Tried pressing infinity button Will not find the boost
I am aware the sonos uses sonosnet or the 2.4 GHZ network but my phone and laptop is on 5ghz network, will I still be able to stream from them to the sonos?
Hi pascal thanks for all these videos and such detailed advice! I just bought a wireless amp with 4 outdoor speaker, 2 speakers out of 4 sound like de conned, or blasted. Huge distortion! I tried each by its own and the error persist so it looks like there is something wrong with the speaker, I hear that it is something of the outdoor speaker that breaks down and need to be replaced. Do you know something about this error? thanks and ciao!
Hi Jorge and thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I never played with the Sonos outside speaker but it is strangely look deffective. If you can reach the speaker and press it with your hand, you should hear nothing at all. If you feal a resistance and a bit of grinchy noise, then it is defective. But normally this kind of thing happen after many many many years of usage.
Ok I’ve watched so many of your videos. I appreciate all of them. I’m a first time Sonos owner. Have not purchased anything and I have no existing stereo or speakers. I want to build a system out side. Two speakers by the one area and two in another area. Can I purchase the boost and add all 4 speakers. Do I need any amp or anything else. I just learning about this system. And it sounds amazing. One set I would like to play through my TV. If you can recommend great 😊
Hi Anthony. Thank you for your comment. :) That's fine if you don't have Ethernet everywhere. You just need a Boost beside your router : geni.us/SonosBoost Then for outside I would recommend the AMP : geni.us/Sonosamp With the outside speaker of your choice. Inside my favorite one is this one to set a bit everywhere : geni.us/SonosSL For the cinema, if you can affort this one go for it, it's amazing : geni.us/SonosArc Otherwise this one is also great : geni.us/Sonosbeam But in anycase I would add a Sub : geni.us/SonosSub Finally I don't know if you have see that video but I explain every speaker in it to make sure you do the right choice. th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Again. Ok so you have recommended the amp with my wired speakers outside. This will be covered or in a case however does this have a temperature range for warm or cold weather. I’m in Canada. 🥶
Hi anthony. I'm also Canadian. Just want to clarify something in case there is a missunderstanding. The amp must remain inside. It's definitively not made for our Canada winter. About the speakers, there is no problem for many model of outside speaker to remain outside in winter. Look a Paradigm, very good Canadian company. I would just not make them play at -30C 😉 That could be bad for the speaker.
Thanks for the videos and tutorials, very informative. I do have few questions, I have ceiling sonance speakers in few rooms and the wires come in a single place and it seem very complex to me as I don't know what to connect where.
Hi Vikas. If you did not identify the wire before, you can use a battery to pop the speaker and know wich one is wich. Then you can use theses amp : geni.us/Sonosamp to connect your speaker.
@@HowToPM many thanks for your quick response. Actually I moved into this apartment and it has bunch of wires and B&O boxes connected to wires. I don’t have a possibility of sending a picture which might have helped in explaining my situation. Is there a way I can share pictures with you and maybe you can provide your expect comments.
We could make a video call on zoom but I charge 1USD/minute with a minumum of 60$. I most likely only do public video, but if you need private help we can take a look at that together. Let me know if that is something that interest you.
I quit trying to connect to my Sonos 1 speakers a couple of years ago cuz they just wouldn't connect or stay connected. Just found your video, re-downloaded the app and tried again and again my Iphone 14 pro max will not see the speaker and are turned on and the button is pressed....nothing!
@@HowToPM Thank you, I connected the AMP to the TV via HDMI and then wirelessly connected the ARC and AMP together. Now I just need to figure out how to get the Arc to respond the volume and also to maintain it's same volume with the AMP speakers.
Do not ever buy sonos unless you want to spend a lot of time re connecting them, the sound is good, but definitely not worth the headaches of the time you have to spend, it almost seems like it’s every time you got company, for the price not worth it, I’ve did everything got a boost, new router, we have hi speed the highest you can get, fibre optics cable. I have play 1s, play 5, and sound bar.
Did you really need to send me that same exact comment on 3 different video? You should take a look at that video it will surely help you. th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html I use Sonos since a very long time and have install it in hundreds of houses and it is by far the most reliable wireless music system. Even better than many wired device.
@@HowToPM oh I left it on about 20 videos, maybe the problem is with apple, I don’t know, but I do know I have to reconnect way to much, if it does work at all.
I'm with you. We have S5 of older generation. It was at the time a very expensive state of the art equipment. We are musicians and sound is essential for us. I have never had to deal with more capricious technology than Sonos speakers. After multiple updates, reconnections, additional blue tooth connectors, different audio wires, we finally were able to hear music through this speaker. It worked well with a bluetooth for a while, until we switched it for another bluetooth. And since then Sonos gives us nothing but yellow blinks and bleeps. Not even direct audio connection works. There's no reset button. Sonos website recommends buying a new one. 🤦😅 I'll buy a Bose, thank you very much.
@@ivademchuk5571 yup half the time the speaker ain’t even visible, drops out, so finicky, I wouldn’t go Bose, they are not what they use to be, you shou Look at other brands, like sennheiser, they have excellent sound, but when sonos is running it’s great, and I’ve got too many thousands to F leave sonos now.
Don't touch it. 😅 Here is my review : th-cam.com/video/gi_Co-BR0kI/w-d-xo.html In fact the setup did not change that much. And here is my guide to choose the right speaker for you th-cam.com/video/JmHHKkF1wlM/w-d-xo.html
I actually don't get this. I just have the basic speakers, not a soundbar etc. It's also v easy to set up the speakers and the app. Connecting and pairing so you can actually use them is another story and this video goes through so many products and components I don't have that I didn't find the video useful.

I am trying to set up a Sonos Amp, Sonos ceiling speakers, Sonos play bar, and Sonos sub. I have an LG OLED C3. I’m having trouble configuring the tv between the hdmi arc and optical cable for the sound bar. Any thoughts?
How do I connect my projector/tv/sky box to my Sonos arc, as the Sonos has only one HDMI port, if you could sketch a drawing of how to wire up the appliances, thanks.
Excelent qurstion Peter. You can use this : geni.us/HdmiAudioExtractor
You will be able to reach the projector with the HDMI and you will have a optical out for Sonos.
You will be able to use the optical to HDMI adapter that come with your Sonos Sound Bar.
Great Video Pascual!
I do have 3 Sonos 5 connected to S1 app, And just bought the Arc, 2 Five’s and the subwoofer. My question is do I need to add the to my existing account or need to open a new one with the New update Sonos app?
Thank you
I explain everything about it over here : th-cam.com/video/iZiINR4AEGY/w-d-xo.html
This is the best video I’ve seen. There doesn’t seem to be a manual for Sonos. I didn’t know that you needed an I phone to tune the speakers. I wondered why it wasn’t working.
Ahah!! Thank you Wendy for your comment. I'm glad it helped.
Fantastic video! You may have covered this, but could you explain how to connect additional front surrounds in this setup using a Connect:amp and/or a Sonos amp with ceiling speakers or another set of Bluetooth speakers? Appreciate your assistance.
To clarify, this would be to create a 7.1 surround system. Thank you again.
I surely not cover this as Sonos don't do more than 5.2. ;)
You just can't.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together
You are very welcome! Thank you for your comment I'm glad it helped! 😀
So professor I thinking about purchasing the sonos amp ultra bar and gen4 with the 300's but based on your take on the 300's not feeling them your opinion on the 100's is the way to go can you go further in an in depth video as to why" thanks
Era 300 are not bad speaker, but I think they are too expensive for the sound quality they deliver.
Two Era 300 will play better that two Era 100.
But I prefer two Era 100 over one Era 300.
The new Arc look amazing.
Note that getting it in set ususally make you save a bit on Sonos website : geni.us/SonosPremiumSet
I have a play 5 in my garage man cave. In living room I have a sub, sound bar and two play 3s.
Also have two play ones in kitchen. I also have the sonos move and the roam and move thoese randomly. My question is for my living room set up for movies, sports and regular TV and also music is it better to pair up two play ones or two play 3s with sub and sound bar? Or should I place the two play ones in living room two with rest of speakers??
One more question, when watching movies can I pair up the sonos move and roam with existing living room set up or no??
I would setup the play3 as a cinema with the bar and sub.
For the move and roam, or any other speaker, I would not merge it with a playing movie as there would be a very small delay.
Nice!!! Love your videos!!
Thank you, excellent video.
As indicted in my comment below, I have recently purchased a Beam with Sub (Gen2) and two Sonos One speakers (the Sub has not arrived yet). The Beam and Sub are in my family room where I also have two Paradigm in wall speakers. There are two ceiling Paradigm speakers in the kitchen which is open to the family room. The two Sonos One speakers are in the living room. My plan is to buy a Sonos amp to connect the two Paradigm wall speakers in the family room and the two Paradigm ceiling speakers in the kitchen into the Sonos system. My understanding is that one amp could connect all four Paradigm speakers and that all I have to do is to make sure I connect the right speakers wires for both rooms together in the amp right side banana plug. Am I correct in this plan. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi badger. Yes you can but I recommend you to buy two amp as your speaker are not in the same room. You will surely enjoy indidual volume control.
Take a look at that video. th-cam.com/video/kZFTYcFCLvc/w-d-xo.html
@@HowToPM Thank you for the speedy reply. I have already spent more than I had planned and, as the Sonos amps are quite expensive, I would prefer not to have to get two amps. The kitchen and family room are open to each other and the TV in the family room is clearly watchable from the kitchen. When listening to music or watching TV in the family room we want to be able to also hear it in the kitchen without having to crank up the volume in the family room. There is already a separate volume control in the kitchen for the ceiling speakers so they can be turned off if necessary. I really enjoyed the link you sent to the amp instructional video. As usual, it is an awesome video and most helpful. We did a reno and ripped out an old sound system with various components and speakers through out the house but neglected to label all the wires in the wall. It has taken me numerous hours of testing with toners and multimeters (and learning how to use them) to track down which wires go to which speakers and continuity etc. May I suggest you do a video on how to trace speaker wires and test for continuity. Merci bien Monsieur, salut from the west coast on Vancouver Island.
Oh well if it is a continuity of the same room, that sound more resonable to me. Even more as you have a seperate in wall volume control. Then you have my GO! 😉
Good idea to make a video about how to trace a speaker.
The easiest way I can quickly describe you would be to pop a battery on the other end of the cable. Touch + and -, you will ear it pop every time.
And thank you for your comment my dear neighbor of the very west. 😉
PS. You can order your amp juste right here : geni.us/Sonosamp
I make a commission on those links. 😉
Amazing video and explanation. I wonder if you can use true play on an iPad?
I never tried it but yes it should be fine. Thank you for your comment. 😉
A couple of years ago, I hooked my sonos beam and play ones to my old motorola router. I had to upgrade my router, and now have a Netgear Nighthawk router. Now, I have a mess. I have an iphone, and when I go to "add product", I do not see my beam or my two play ones on the system. I will be honest, I cannot remember how to set up. Are there buttons on the beam, and the play ones that I need to push, so it will be recognized on my iphone, so I can add it. Thanks.

Hi, I am using a Sonos connect ( not amp). How to I setup the subwoofer for the right settings? Can Sonos identify this as a subwoofer
Technically you can't connect a SUB to a Connect.
This device is made to be connected to a receiver or a AMP, you must connect your non Sonos sub to that receiver.
I understand it's frustrating, but technically speaking, it's logical that you can't.
As the connect have no idea how much delay there is between the time it's send the audio until it reach the speaker.
after watch the video i like to add a sonos playbar to my audio system i have a sony receiver with hdmi and optical and a subwoofer connected via rca, is possible combine sonos playbar and work together with my receiver and sub if i connect my optical from receiver to sonos playbar ? appreciate you answer....
You don't need your receiver anymore if you have a playbar...
But if your receiver have an optical output (I doupt it does, receiver generally have optical inputs) yes you can.
Great channel clear and precise set up great service
Thanks Chris! I'm glad it helped! ;)
I live in the countryside and use hotspot for my devices what should i do? Now my device wont show up on my set up menu and im really opted to just return it.
I want to buy arc ,sub and 2 one sl for the tv. The router is in the basement while the place I want to have the system is in the ground floor. Although, next to the arc there will be a wifi access point. Can I connect the arc to the access point?
If your acces point have an output you could. Otherwise I would just put that device connect to the router in the basement : geni.us/SonosBoost
I talk about that device into that video : th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html

Having issues with Sonos Move speakers connecting to Nighthawk mesh system. Model MR60 with two satililtes. Constantly lossing connecting; app unable to find Sonos system. Please help.
Unfortunately I did not yet made a video about it, but on any Wi-Fi network, a mesh system is often a mess.
Messhing is not a solution, it's a nightmare.
If you want a reliable Wi-Fi at home, une AP (Access Point).
The difference is that they are wired to your network.
I know it's not always easy to pass cable everywhere, but it's the real solution.
Hello, what’s the best way to set up a Sonos Arc to LG C2 tv?

HI there, I have just purchased Sonos move a couple of hours ago, was wondering how to play iTunes music on iphone (not Apple Music or other streaming music platforms) on sonos move via Wi-Fi?
It was possible very long ago but I think this is no longuer possible.
I’m trying to connect my tv audio to my Sonos amp. I can play my music through my ceiling speakers but it is not recognizing my tv and audio. Do I have to be plugged directly into the tv with my amp or can it Bluetooth?
This video should answer your question.
But forget about bluetooth, you must connect your TV with a cable.
th-cam.com/video/oPRUb_wr4ng/w-d-xo.html
I have a question. When you adjust the eq after doing true play does that then change the settings that the true play had set for the room and the speakers?
No. Trueplay and EQ are two different settings.
I have question and I hope you can help me. I have a large room. At one end is a beam, a sub and two ones set up for surrounds. It works great when watching movies and I tuned it using Trueplay. At the other end of the room I have a 3 and 1. When I choose to listen music through all the speakers it just doesn't sound right. Should I use the EQ to then tune for the sound I want when listening to music?
Hi
We have a room with 4 speakers mounted in the ceeling. Can we connect them 2+2 to the Sonos AMP or do we need 2xSonos AMPs? What about the sound optimisation ?
Hi Olav. This video should answer your question : th-cam.com/video/CpcFYoqOLF8/w-d-xo.html
Good, long, detailed video…. but in all that information I still can’t find what I’m looking for… which is how do I connect to my wifi (for the first time) without an Ethernet cable? Is it because my Sonos One is second hand, Sonos don’t want me to be able to use it? Thank you.
If it's your first device, factory reset it. At the begining, choose wi-fi setup and the system will take you by the hand.
Awesome video. Easy to follow. Thank you!
Hi, thx for the video, i have a question: let's say i can get 5 second hand Sonos One for a good price opportunity, if I were to then just additionally buy a Sonos Sub, would I be able to make it into a 5.1?
No. Please take a look at that video : th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html
The presenter is uncommonly talented. Humor is pretty individual, but I thought he was fabulous in that department, too. Informative, good pacing - hits ALL THE RIGHT NOTES. Just a warning for anyone who reads this - if Sonos isn't (this isn't paranoia - somebody with an absolute ZERO customer-friendly orientation thought it made sense to pull the plug on older devices [just like Apple and many others]) STILL ACTIVELY TRYING to get everybody to retire well-made and well-performing devices to boost their stock price, ... well, that's how it looks. Try setting up a Play:3 - A person who valued his time more would have given up. The presenter covers SO MUCH, but Sonos - again, who knows why - probably has 20 "in use" versions of software, depending on phone or tablet or ??, and YMMV (you might get an error message for no reason I can think of), even if you do just what you're told. (I wound up "downgrading" my device so the S1 app could handle it.) There's some good stuff in the Sonos online forums. LOTS OF bad (inaccurate) stuff in what Sonos calls "documentation."
Thank you for your comment Peter! Yes you are right, Sonos is not a super great company in some way. It was awesome in their first years, but they took a darker side over the time. Still, their device work wonderfully well, almost never broke even after many years, and for most of them they suport it for a long time.
So it's not all dark, but it's for sure grey. ;)
Can i have one cable to a ray and one cable directly to boost same time
You can wire as many speaker as you want.
Hello sir. First of all thanks for taking the time for a lovely detailed video. If the sonos port is connected via ethernet, will it still be discoverable in the app? Pls advise. Thanks.
Yes it will. I recommend to connect every sonos device that you can.
@@HowToPM Thank you so much for your prompt and quick response.
Great video! Question: My home router is an eero Pro 6 mesh system. The "main" router (connected to the modem) is on my lower level while my Sonos system is on the upper level of my home. I have two (identical) satellite routers, one of which is located near my Sonos system and connected to the Boost. Should I instead wire the Boost to my main router (on the lower level) that's connected to the modem? Thank you.
Always connect it to the main one. I don't believe into those mesh router system. The previous term for that was Repeater and I always had terrible experience with it. Nothing is better than a cable. So yes connect the Boost to the main router.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
I set up Boost as a first device using Sonos mobile app with a wire to router. Then I added 2 Sonos One to the system without wires. But now I see Boost and both speakers connected to the router (I see them in the lost of connected devices with different ip addresses. Is it how it should work? I thought that speakers shoudn’t come up in router’s connected devices list and they should be connected to the Boost instead.
Yes that is the way it work. Every sonos device got it own IP adress. The boost act like a switch... But wireless.
@@HowToPM ok, got it, thank you 👍🏼
iPhone 13 for true tuning not available yet cant wait for the update to do this setup
It should be available soon. The reason is that Sonos calibrate every iOs devices to their speaker to make the trueplay possible.
Fantastic video
Ahah!! Thank you Jairo, I'm glad you enjoyed. 🙂
very good thanks
With the true play, if you have high ceilings should you try and reach as high as you can or just at arm length?
Negative. Just move the phone everywhere in the room at normal listening position.
Great video!
Can we add 4 Sonos one speakers and a beam bar for a surround sound?
Sonos suport up to 5.1, not 7.1
Thank you for your reply. I just bought 2 more Sonos one thinking I can add it to my existing surround system. What do you recommend how I can make use of those 2 new ones? Thanks again.
I would put it into other rooms just to get music floating everywhere.
Hi, sorry i have a question. I want to make a home cinema in my house, but i want to use a projector (it has android tv) Can i connect via wireless all my devices? Or is it mandatory to connect at least one device? The problem with this case is that the projector needs to be in a ceiling and is very far away from de sonos beam, so is a bit hard to connect the projector and sonos bar via cable... I don't know if explained myself haha, sorry english is not my native language.
The connection for network is not mandatory, just highly recomended. But for the sound of your prejector, you really need to connect it with a cable to your speaker. At least the front one. There is no other options.
No worry, english is not my native language neither. 😉
Do you have a video on setting up on sonos zoneplayer zp100
No but it's pretty much the same thing. What do you need to know?
Good video
Just have one question
I have speakers in multiple rooms. Do I need a sonos for each room ?
Tia
Thank you for your comment.
Well, I would add a Sonos speaker in every room you want to listen to music.
Nice video. I have connected my sonos one sl's as surround speakers. When I use the ethernet ports on the speakers, one of the speakers skips the sound, and the other speaker does not work (no sound at all). When I use the wifi feature, the speaker that did not work started working, but the other speaker would still skip the sound. Is there something else that I can do?
Thank you for your comment.
I would connect your cable on the soundbar.
Otherwise I would start with this : th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html
One question: Is the volume you adjust on the phone separate from the volume you adjust on the speaker itself? So, if I lower the speaker manually, will the phone be able to raise the volume beyond that point?
They are link toguether. If you lower the volume on the speaker, it lower the volume of the speaker and so you will be able to see it on the app. The app is just a remote.
Great content
Thanks! :P
Can you speak and sound will come out from speakers?
With some equipement it would be possible, but if this is what you are looking to do, Sonos is the the kind of system for you.
Can u set it up so u have 2 sonos ones at the rear and 2 either side of the tele? Or does it not work as a surround ?
Sonos can work up to 5.1
3 will be a sound bar in front, and you can setup your one a surroud.
This video will give you more information about the role of every speaker : th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html
Morning Pascal, Fabulous video thank you! I do have a question you may be able to help me resolve. Recently updated my router and reconnected SONOA/Alex. Now When asking Alex to play, say, Billie Eilish songs, it only plays one track and stops. This regardless of the artist or playlist? Any ideas on how to sort this one?
Hum. Sorry I don't know. I am really not a fan of voice control because it only make me repeat and almost never do what I really want.
@@HowToPM Thanks anyway. Heads up - I have been using Alex VC since I purchased they system and this is my very 1st and only issue. I actually find it very convenient.
GREAT video, very helpful and informative even after I had set up my system. The issue I’m having now is cutting out or just not playing music only when I play over AirPlay from my iPhone 11Pro. I’ve rebooted my router, changed it, reset my phone, gotten the Boost and the issue still keeps happening. Any suggestions? Oh I added the Boost after my speakers were already set up... should I start all over and add the Boot first then set up my speakers?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment. Well, about the airplay, I found that it is a terrible technology. I tested it with many kind of device in multiple case and location and that is always the problem I had. It cut, cut, and cut again. It is an unreliable technology. The problem is not your phone, your router or the Sonos system, it's just the airplay technology.
You should use the Sonos app instead or maybe even cast. It will be way better. The sound quality of the airplay is also terrible. There is a huge compression.
@@HowToPM OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH. How do I get my playlist and music from my computer into the Sonos app? I have a lot of music.
Excellent Thank You!
Hi, great video ! Do I need to re do the trueplay when I need to remove the ones from the surround setup and combine the ones again as surround? Hopefully my question is not confusing 😬
Ahah. I totally understand. That is a good question however. I would guess that they don't remember the previous setup when you broke the room. But I don't get why you would like to remove it from the cinema to put them back together later? You can have a setup for music and for TV so that the surround play in full when you listen to music.
@@HowToPM It just sometimes I just want to listen to the music from 1 of the ones instead of playing the whole surround setup(beam,sub + 2 ones)m and only want to connect the 2 ones for surround just for movies :D. I am so trouble.

Je viens de France et j'ai un gros souci avec mon matériel Sonos.
Je possède deux PLAY 1 - une PLAYBASE - et un SUB.
Le problème est que depuis un long moment j'ai remarqué que l'application a retiré le mode Bibliothèque ( ce qui te permet de jouer ta propre playlist que tu as volontairement mis dans ton téléphone ou tablette) je n'ai aucun abonnement, ou de spotify ect...
quand tu vas dans les recherches et que tu tapes un titre ou le nom d'un artiste, il y'a rien qui sort tu vois?
qu'est ce que tu pourrais me conseiller ? Est ce que je dois télécharger un nouveau lecteur? je ne sais plus quoi faire. j'ai investi cher sur cet appareil pour ça tu vois? je serais presque tenté de tout revendre à cause de ca.
j'espere que tu pourra me donner de ta lumiere sur cette sombre affaire lol.

Hi, I just bought a Sonos one but I am getting stuck at the step of connection to WiFi.. I intend to have only one speaker now and hence don't want to buy a Sonos boost.. Moreover, the WiFi network that I am using is provided by the apartments where we stay.. so we have a username and password but don't have a router that can be accessed.. can you help me?
Hum. You might not like my answer, but still this is it. th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html
If your only posibility is to conect the speaker to a kind of public network, Sonos is probably not the device for you if you get trouble when setting it up.
You explain things very well in your videos. I'm thinking about buying a Sonos amp and two 5 speakers. I have some great B&W speakers that I'd like to keep though. Can I connect two wired B&W speakers and two wireless Sonos 5 speakers at the same time? I think the answer is no, but I haven't been able to figure that one out.
Hi Doctor Zumzum.
Well sure you can use this Sonos amp : geni.us/Sonosamp
With two Sonos Five : geni.us/Sonos5
The Sonos 5 have it's own amp. That would do a super great kit. Every Sonos speaker can play the same thing at the same time. You might be interested into this video in wich I present all of them : th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html

Hi pascal thanks for all these videos and such detailed advice! I just bought a wireless amp with 4 outdoor speaker, 2 speakers out of 4 sound like de conned, or blasted. Huge distortion! I tried each by its own and the error persist so it looks like there is something wrong with the speaker, I hear that it is something of the outdoor speaker that breaks down and need to be replaced. Do you know something about this error? thanks and ciao!
Hi Jorge and thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I never played with the Sonos outside speaker but it is strangely look deffective. If you can reach the speaker and press it with your hand, you should hear nothing at all. If you feal a resistance and a bit of grinchy noise, then it is defective. But normally this kind of thing happen after many many many years of usage.
Ok I’ve watched so many of your videos. I appreciate all of them. I’m a first time Sonos owner. Have not purchased anything and I have no existing stereo or speakers. I want to build a system out side. Two speakers by the one area and two in another area. Can I purchase the boost and add all 4 speakers. Do I need any amp or anything else. I just learning about this system. And it sounds amazing. One set I would like to play through my TV. If you can recommend great 😊
Sorry don’t have Ethernet all throughout the house only in one room
Hi Anthony.
Thank you for your comment. :)
That's fine if you don't have Ethernet everywhere.
You just need a Boost beside your router : geni.us/SonosBoost
Then for outside I would recommend the AMP : geni.us/Sonosamp
With the outside speaker of your choice.
Inside my favorite one is this one to set a bit everywhere : geni.us/SonosSL
For the cinema, if you can affort this one go for it, it's amazing : geni.us/SonosArc
Otherwise this one is also great : geni.us/Sonosbeam
But in anycase I would add a Sub : geni.us/SonosSub
Finally I don't know if you have see that video but I explain every speaker in it to make sure you do the right choice.
th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you time yo go shopping. The plan is to finish our outside first since this is our new project. I appreciate all
Of your videos. 👍
Hi Again. Ok so you have recommended the amp with my wired speakers outside. This will be covered or in a case however does this have a temperature range for warm or cold weather. I’m in Canada. 🥶
Hi anthony. I'm also Canadian.
Just want to clarify something in case there is a missunderstanding.
The amp must remain inside. It's definitively not made for our Canada winter.
About the speakers, there is no problem for many model of outside speaker to remain outside in winter.
Look a Paradigm, very good Canadian company.
I would just not make them play at -30C 😉
That could be bad for the speaker.
Excuse me Sir, can I connect my somos bar to my system without the tv?
Of course you can. TV is just an option.
Anyway to hook up sonos one to Amazon firestick?
You can't. Sonos one have no input. You will need a sonos sound bar for this. See that video : th-cam.com/video/VKF4qvA_-Tg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the videos and tutorials, very informative. I do have few questions, I have ceiling sonance speakers in few rooms and the wires come in a single place and it seem very complex to me as I don't know what to connect where.
Hi Vikas. If you did not identify the wire before, you can use a battery to pop the speaker and know wich one is wich.
Then you can use theses amp : geni.us/Sonosamp
to connect your speaker.
@@HowToPM many thanks for your quick response. Actually I moved into this apartment and it has bunch of wires and B&O boxes connected to wires. I don’t have a possibility of sending a picture which might have helped in explaining my situation. Is there a way I can share pictures with you and maybe you can provide your expect comments.

I most likely only do public video, but if you need private help we can take a look at that together.

Is it possible to use ceiling speakers as surround?
Yes of course.
You can have the Arc or the Beam as front speaker and use this one : geni.us/Sonosamp
to connect your ceiling speaker as surround.

Why when I use you tube and play something soud tes 5.1 wherever I play the sorround speaker does not work
Unfortunately, Sonos seam to only play what really get's in.
So if it receive a 2 channel signal, nothing will play at the back.
When I have vizio sounbars an play this kind of test everything sound according test I don't now if I missing something
I have music files stored on my android phone - how can I play this on Sonos?
You might see a ''this phone'' option in the music choice but I'm not sure it's still available.
I quit trying to connect to my Sonos 1 speakers a couple of years ago cuz they just wouldn't connect or stay connected. Just found your video, re-downloaded the app and tried again and again my Iphone 14 pro max will not see the speaker and are turned on and the button is pressed....nothing!
How to connect Arc and the AMP together on 1 TV?
You set it up into the app.
The amp must be set as surround to the ARC.
@@HowToPM Thank you, I connected the AMP to the TV via HDMI and then wirelessly connected the ARC and AMP together. Now I just need to figure out how to get the Arc to respond the volume and also to maintain it's same volume with the AMP speakers.

Do not ever buy sonos unless you want to spend a lot of time re connecting them, the sound is good, but definitely not worth the headaches of the time you have to spend, it almost seems like it’s every time you got company, for the price not worth it, I’ve did everything got a boost, new router, we have hi speed the highest you can get, fibre optics cable. I have play 1s, play 5, and sound bar.
Did you really need to send me that same exact comment on 3 different video? You should take a look at that video it will surely help you. th-cam.com/video/BjRqY1hw0ds/w-d-xo.html
I use Sonos since a very long time and have install it in hundreds of houses and it is by far the most reliable wireless music system. Even better than many wired device.
@@HowToPM oh I left it on about 20 videos, maybe the problem is with apple, I don’t know, but I do know I have to reconnect way to much, if it does work at all.
@@duramax78 has to do with your router
I'm with you. We have S5 of older generation. It was at the time a very expensive state of the art equipment. We are musicians and sound is essential for us.
I have never had to deal with more capricious technology than Sonos speakers. After multiple updates, reconnections, additional blue tooth connectors, different audio wires, we finally were able to hear music through this speaker. It worked well with a bluetooth for a while, until we switched it for another bluetooth. And since then Sonos gives us nothing but yellow blinks and bleeps. Not even direct audio connection works. There's no reset button. Sonos website recommends buying a new one. 🤦😅
I'll buy a Bose, thank you very much.
@@ivademchuk5571 yup half the time the speaker ain’t even visible, drops out, so finicky, I wouldn’t go Bose, they are not what they use to be, you shou Look at other brands, like sennheiser, they have excellent sound, but when sonos is running it’s great, and I’ve got too many thousands to F leave sonos now.
Why do you have so many videos, I just want to listen to my Sonos speaker!!! Do you have one video for that ????
The goal is to answer the most common question about Sonos as quick as possible. But honestly the one you are asking for is still on my to do list.
good...but you need to update ...Era100 & Era 300 😅😅
Don't touch it. 😅 Here is my review : th-cam.com/video/gi_Co-BR0kI/w-d-xo.html
In fact the setup did not change that much.
And here is my guide to choose the right speaker for you th-cam.com/video/JmHHKkF1wlM/w-d-xo.html
You said not the move can’t be a pair? Explain
As it's made to be moved, they don't allow those speaker to be a stereo pair or a surround speaker in a room.
I actually don't get this. I just have the basic speakers, not a soundbar etc. It's also v easy to set up the speakers and the app. Connecting and pairing so you can actually use them is another story and this video goes through so many products and components I don't have that I didn't find the video useful.
That is why the video is chaptered so you can skip to the part you need.
PC --> Windows --> mp3 --> Play .... ??????????
i can read a book with 50mins.
If you don't have 50 minutes to spend on a video, just don't click a 50 minutes video...
I hate it, why they have to make it so complicated? It is not working with WiFi so, no way with Bluetooth
The fact that is video is 50 min - is a great sign that you should never buy Sonos!!!
Stupid speakers...very unpractical
Crap product.
Thanks a lot
