User questions & answers

Question:	One reviewer said these are 6ohm speakers, I don't see anything on specss are they 6 or 8 ohm
Answer:	The manufacture offers a 5 year warranty. Bought direct from Monoprice you get the 30 days no question asked return policy (although you still have to pay for return shipping). Not sure if Amazon offer that.
Question:	Can these speakers handle onkyo's tx-nr747 175 watts of power
Answer:	From the manual. LFE & LINE UNBALANCED INPUTS:Use either of these RCA inputs to connect the LFE output on your amplifier or receiver. If your amplifier/receiver does not have an LFE output, connect the stereo pre-amplifier output on your amplifier/receiver to both the 1and 2inputs. This is a powered subwoofer, not meant to take amped input. Maybe consider upgrading your Amp?
Question:	how do you mount these speakers from celing
Answer:	There are several that you could buy ... and its fairly easy as the feet are removable. Just need to find the right screw size. Get some feet that parts express sells, and buy some machine screws from HD or lowes.
Question:	Will any speaker angled towards the ceiling give the same effect
Answer:	110v only

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i comnect this device to other echos and play music together as a group
Answer:	It worked on my 2002 Tahoe with the 1.5 DIN radio. Be mindful that the Bose amp trigger wire needs to be connected to power. I connected mine to the cassette tape deck harness which you probably do not have so you will need to find it somewhere else.
Question:	Is thid device can be connected to amazon music
Answer:	It worked on my 2010 tundra with after market
Question:	Is the App Broken can't login to Amazon
Answer:	Only if you have a factory installed JBL amplified audio system in your vehicle. This device allows you to keep the JBL system with an after market radio. I was not able to get any audio on my replacement radio until I added the PAC TATO device. Your factory radio should have JBL markings on the face plate if you have the premium sound system.
Question:	Can I use the Alexa app to create groups and scenes or does it require use of its own app to manage devices
Answer:	Will this work foe toyota avalon limited with jbl

User questions & answers

Question:	Would a pair of Play1s used for rear speakers in a 5.1 set up be much different from Play3s
Answer:	I use 3's as rear speakers in my very large living room with high vaulted ceiling. But I have two pairs of 1's that I use as stereo speakers in my bedroom and workshop. In most rooms, 1's would work just fine as surround speakers in a 5.1 system. 3's have a little more oomph than 1's, but you probably won't be unhappy with either.
Question:	Has anyone compared a stereo pair of Play:1s with a single Play:5? Which option provides better sound for a large room
Answer:	The Play5 has more fidelity than S1, sound is fuller. However with the pair of S1's you will get better stereo separation since you can place them further apart. The S1 sounds better than the Play3. I own them all, so speaking from first hand experience.
Question:	How does this speaker compares to the Bose Sounlink Mini
Answer:	One point to any first-time Sonos buyers: a very big difference from the Bose Soundlink Mini is that the Sonos does NOT connect to an Echo Dot like the Bose (or any bluetooth speaker) - you only control music. If you are expecting to hear your Flash Briefing or anything else besides music out of the Sonos, you will be very disappointed. Also, for what it's worth, in my opinion, at a reasonable room-filling volume I thought the sound quality was similar.
Question:	I want a bookshelf system for a large living/kitchen/dining room with enough volume for a party of 40-50 guests. Should I get 2 Play:1s or 2 Play:3s
Answer:	If you can swing 2 Play:3s, that would be what to get. The sound is much better. Play:1 sounds great for what it is. But size and quantity matters. And whoever says that 2 Play:3s cannot be paired in stereo is completely wrong. And it depends on what kind of party this is. Is this for quiet ambience? Or is this a fun thumping party? That should help with which speakers to get. Even the Play:3 is kind of dicey for a loud thumping party.

User questions & answers

Question:	I already have a nice subwoofer. Is there any way (even via wireless adapter of some type) that I can use it with the Sonos Playbar
Answer:	Paul, not directly, there are a couple options.. if the subwoofer is powered then you need to buy a Sonos connect and plug the subwoofer into that and then pair that in your settings to your playbar the other option if your subwoofer is not powered you would have to purchase a sonos connect amp and do the same thing, I have done both of these options in my home and they work very well. The sonos connect is half the price Of the sonos sub, you could look at it that way :-)
Question:	Watching movies.. do you have the problem of having to constantly adjust the volume to turn down action and turn up dialog
Answer:	30 years I’ve never had a product which both sounds amazing and deals with this problem, and it is a big problem with a lot of content. Everyone has their own special setting but the only ones that truly work also degrade the great sound. I don’t think electronics can solve this as well as having a sound-dampening room, because that’s what they are mastered for (curtained theatre) and most of us have reflective drywall.
Question:	Is there a way to connect all my inputs to a Denon 1612, connect that to the TV, and have the soundbar play sound from all sources
Answer:	Yes and no. The PlayBar has only one input: fiberoptic. The Denon AVR-1612 does not include a fiberoptic output, so you cannot directly connect the receiver to the PlayBar. But your TV should have a fiberoptic output, so if you connect all the devices to the Denon via HDMI cables, then connect an HDMI cable from receiver to TV, then fiberoptic cable from TV to PlayBar, you should get sound from all sources connected to the receiver. If you do it this way, make sure that HDMI Audio Output is set to ON in the receiver set-up menu. However, connected this way, you will *NOT* get sound from the Receiver's built-in AM/FM tuner, nor will you get sound from any older devices that are connected to the receiver using analog audio/video cables (typically red/white/yellow RCA cables). There really is no advantage to using the Denon receiver in this set-up, unless your TV only has one or two HDMI inputs and you're trying to add more. But you could do that more simply (and inexpensively) with a simple HDMI switch. For simplicity, I'd recommend connecting all devices to the TV with HDMI cables, and connect the fiberoptic output of the TV to the PlayBar. This way the TV handles all source switching and whatever source is selected on the TV will play through the PlayBar. Hope that helps.
Question:	Does anyone know how good the playbar sounds without the subwoofer
Answer:	It sounds pretty good without the subwoofer. We have a small room and have the playbar....two Play 3's and one play 5 and it sounds great. For our small house the subwoofer would be too much and that's saying something as my husband really likes to have some bass going. If you had a huge area to cover you might want the subwoofer. We used to have a bose system with a subwoofer and this sounds as good at that if not better. If you are really into your sound you probably will want something in addition to the playbar like the play 3's and/or play 5's. We went that route because we could move them into other rooms of the house easily. FYI - the playbar is not a petite piece so make sure you have room for it. I hope this helps!
