Answered by Sonos Customer Care
- A: AnswerGreat question! As long as the remote is IR (it probably is) its a breeze. In the app, go to settings -> system -> name of the room -> scroll down under Home Theater, you'll see the option for "remote control setup". - We'll walk you through it from there!

Answered by Sonos Customer Care
- A: AnswerIf you're experiencing issues with sound on a specific channel (in this case, METV) when using your Sonos system, but all other channels work fine, there could be a few potential reasons for this behavior: Audio Format Compatibility: It's possible that the audio format used by the METV channel is not fully compatible with your Sonos system. Some channels or programs may use audio formats that are not supported by certain audio equipment, leading to issues with sound playback. In this case, you may need to adjust the audio settings on your TV or Sonos system to ensure compatibility with the audio format used by the METV channel. Volume Leveling or Audio Processing: Some TVs and audio equipment have built-in audio processing features such as volume leveling, dynamic range compression, or audio enhancement modes. These features can sometimes affect the audio output and may cause issues with certain channels or programs. Try adjusting the audio settings on your TV or Sonos system to see if disabling or adjusting these features resolves the issue. Network Interference: In some cases, network interference or signal issues can affect the performance of wireless audio systems like Sonos. If the METV channel is being streamed over a network connection, network interference or signal dropouts could potentially impact the audio playback. Try troubleshooting your network connection or relocating your Sonos speakers to see if it improves the audio performance on the METV channel. Sonos Software or Firmware Updates: Ensure that your Sonos system is running the latest software and firmware updates. Updates can often address bugs or compatibility issues that may affect audio playback. Other Factors: There could be other factors at play, such as audio settings on your TV or optical audio connections, or external devices connected to your TV or Sonos system. Check all audio settings and connections to ensure they are configured correctly.

Looks can be deceiving
Overall, this thing is better than I was expecting. It is a bit of a pain to set up. Even for a relatively tech savvy person like myself. But if you can be patient and figure out the work arounds for it, it’s amazing for the price and purpose its intended it for. The app for Sonos has always been a little clunky. I have 8 other Sonos speakers in my house. So I’m used to it. The optical only option is strange so it can cause some issues if you don’t have an IR remote. My tv I was trying to get it to work with had an RF remote so I had to program my tv to get the remote to adjust volume. The remote linking feature in the Sonos app did not work because I had a RF remote, It can be done though. It just takes some digging around in your TVs settings. Once we got past that though, the sound. Amazingly big for a soundbar of this size, I bought a small tv for my odd shaped downstairs living room and wanted something in the Sonos ecosystem to pair with it. I have the beam and the arc with the sub and I have to say this thing is pretty stellar on its own. I considered buying the sub mini for it but I have decided it’s just fine on it’s own. Plenty of bass (not home theatre level or anything) and for the space it’s in I couldn’t be happier with the sounds it’s putting out. Looks can be deceiving.

Don't let the small size fool you!
Purchased the Sonos Ray Soundbar as it was the only soundbar which had the perfect dimensions to fit inside a shelf. WOW!! The sound out of this speaker is outstanding, and for a price less than $250. Sonos....you exceeded all my expectations. Who knew a soundbar in this compact package could deliver such great sound. Especially, at this price point. Added bonus, connecting the Sonos Ray to the Sonos mobile app provides more configuration and sound options. Unfortunately, my set-up was a challenge as I have an older Sonos 5 and is not backward compatible with the new Sonos App. My older Sonos App is not forward compatible with the Sonos Ray. I had to contact Sonos support, and they were able to help me diagnose what to do and how I would have to use the older app for the Sonos5 and the newer app when using the Sonos Ray. While not ideal, it works! If you're thinking about getting a sound bar and want something that's not cheap, but also not too expensive either. This one is just right for the money.

Great, great value with excellent sound
I confess, this is my first sound bar. I have a small room and am all around not a loud person. I purchased this device to even out the voices and the sound effects coming out of my TV, but I wasn’t expecting the difference this would make. First of all, it was an extremely good price, compared to the others I looked at. I also liked the fact that I could use it to listen to music and, yes, I am now able to hear what movie characters are saying one second without shaking the walls when an explosion goes off the next. Highly recommend.
