Key Features
Sonos HiFi sound for your HiDef television
- The nine-speaker design (6 mid woofer, 3 tweeter) of SONOS PLAYBAR complements cinematic HD televisions with richly textured HiFi sound for TV, web, movies or video games.
- It automatically adjusts to the differences between shoot ‘em up action flicks, Shakespearean dramas, and live concerts to deliver the sound as it was intended.
- For after-hours viewing, Night Mode compresses the volume so you can hear all the details without waking the family.
- The PLAYBAR plays all sources plugged into your TV: cable and satellite boxes, Blu-ray™ players, and video game consoles-through the single optical input on the back. It also plays all common audio formats from TVs, including Dolby Digital 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, and PCM.
Wirelessly stream all the music on earth
- PLAYBAR is also a stand-alone all-in-one Sonos speaker that allows you to wirelessly stream all the music on earth—your iTunes® library, your favorite music services, and thousands of Internet radio stations, shows and podcasts.
- Sonos works seamlessly with your iTunes collection, Spotify™, Pandora®, Sirius XM™, TuneIn, Rhapsody®, AmazonCloud, Songza, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Slacker, 7Digital, MOG, Rdio®, Last.fm, Murfie, Wolfgang’s Vault®, AUPEO!, Stitcher™, Dar.fm, Hearts of Space and downloads from any service offering DRM-free tracks.
Easy to setup
PLAYBAR is quick and easy to set up. Just plug the power cord in, attach the optical cord to your TV and connect to your router or the SONOS BRIDGE (sold separately).
Do you need a bridge?
One Sonos component must be connected to your router using a standard Ethernet cable.
- If the PLAYBAR is within reach of your router, you can connect directly.
- If not, connect the BRIDGE directly to your router and the PLAYBAR will work wirelessly.
PLAYBAR can sit flat on your TV table or console. If your TV is wall-mounted, PLAYBAR may be placed horizontally above or below the TV. For an easy and secure wall-mounting solution, use the PLAYBAR Wall Mount Kit (sold separately).
Control your way
Control PLAYBAR volume and mute using your existing TV, cable or universal remote.
