After over an hour of frustration, I turned to YouTube and found this video. Bingo! I reset the Play 5 and proceeded to set-up within 5 minutes. Now relaxing and listening to tunes!! Thank you so much How To! I wish I could like this video more than just once 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks you so much. I have just purchased a Sonos Beam with sub and two One speakers. This one of the best instructional videos I have every seen.

Bravo Pascal, le meilleur tuto que j’ai vu à date. Explications précises et très complète. Bravo encore. Tu devrais approcher Sonos pour suggérer ta vidéo.merci

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."

Man. Thanks so much for this extensive and amazing time. Was worth it

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.

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.

[eddieboybenitez]

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

[marquischristian]

Great introduction to my new Sonos system

[fnn]

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.

[darrellhornick]

Fantastic video. Long but great detail. Than you very much!

[joshjarry]

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?

[akram.]

Amazing video and explanation. I wonder if you can use true play on an iPad?

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??
