SONOS PLAYBAR
The SONOS PLAYBAR takes your TV experience to the next level.
• Sonos now delivers crystal clear sound for your television.
• For an even bigger sound, you can add a pair of SONOS PLAY:3 surround speakers and a SONOS SUB (optional).
It takes just a few minutes to get your SONOS PLAYBAR up and running— simply turn to page 2 to get started. Once you’ve
got it set up, you can add additional Sonos components any time.
Note: One Sonos component must be connected to your broadband router. If the PLAYBAR
will not be located near your router, you can connect a SONOS BRIDGE™ or any Sonos player
(purchased separately) to your router instead.
Sonos Controllers
You can use any Sonos controller with your Sonos system, including:
• The Sonos Controller for Android. Touch the Play Store or Market button on your Android device to download the free
Sonos application from Google Play.
• The Sonos Controller for iPhone or the Sonos Controller for iPad. Tap the App Store button on your iPhone, iPod touch
or iPad to download the free Sonos application, or you can download the application from iTunes®. (If you download
from iTunes, you will need to sync before you see the Sonos logo display on your device.)
• The Sonos Controller for Mac or PC. Download from our Website at: www.sonos.com/support/install.
• The SONOS CONTROL (CR200) or CR100.
Sonos is always working on new ways to help you control the music any way you want. For the latest list of Sonos controllers,

• If you are setting up a new Sonos system, connect one Sonos component to your router. If the PLAYBAR is not located

Product Guide
7. If you are using a SONOS SUB and/or a pair of SONOS PLAY:3 surround speakers, position them in the room and apply
power. (These Sonos components are optional and are purchased separately.)
• Refer to the Quick Start guides packaged with these Sonos components for additional information.
If you purchased a SONOS SUB, place the SUB
wherever it best fits your room—standing up or
lying flat. You can place it in a corner, against the
wall, behind, under, or next to any piece of furniture
on any kind of floor surface.
If you purchased SONOS PLAY:3 surround speakers, place the speakers
to the left and right of your main viewing position, level with or behind
the main viewing position. They can be placed either horizontally or
vertically, but make sure both speakers have the same orientation.
8. Using any handheld Sonos controller, select Add a Sonos Component from the Settings menu and follow the online
prompts to set up your PLAYBAR.
• If you don’t have a Sonos controller app installed on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device you can:
• Touch the Play Store or Market button on your Android device to download the free Sonos application from Google
Play.
• Tap the App Store button on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to download the free Sonos application, or you can
download the application from iTunes®.
You may be prompted to update the PLAYBAR after you add it to your Sonos system.

Wall Mounting
Note: It is recommended that you connect the power and audio cables to the PLAYBAR
before mounting it on the wall.
What you will need
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Masking tape
An awl or other pointed tool
A level
A Phillips head screw driver or power drill with Phillips head attachment
2 metal wall anchors (included)
2 mounting screws (included)
Sonos Wall Mount Template (included)
1. Hold the Sonos wall mount template (packaged with your PLAYBAR) in the desired position on your wall. The PLAYBAR

can be mounted either above or below your television.
Use a level to ensure the template is horizontally level, and then tape the template securely to the wall.
Use an awl or a sharp object to punch a small hole through the two marked locations on the template.
Use a pencil to mark these two locations, and then remove the template from the wall.
Create a pilot (starter) hole if desired.
Note: The anchors are designed to be self-starting, but it is recommended that you pre-drill
a 3/16” (4.75mm) hole if mounting on thick wallboard or double board construction. For
plaster walls, pre-drill a ¼” (6.4mm) hole.
6. Screw the anchors into the drywall with a Phillips head screwdriver until the head is flat against or slightly below the wall
surface, being careful not to overtighten.
Note: The anchors can be installed using a screw gun or a regular power drill with a Phillips
head screwdriver attachment. The surface of the drywall may distort slightly or dimple as the
anchor is installed. This is not unusual.
7. Once the wall anchor is secure, screw the mounting screws into the wall anchor until it is flat against the wall surface.

Product Guide
8. Place the PLAYBAR flat against the wall and lower it gently until the screw heads fit securely into the keyhole brackets on
the back of the PLAYBAR. (Once the unit is flat against the wall, it should slide approximately 1/2” (10mm) down until the
screw head is securely in the slots.)
HOW TO TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION’S SPEAKERS
While we can’t provide specific instructions for every television model, here’s a solution that often works. If it doesn’t work for
you, please consult the owner’s guide that was packaged with your television.
1. Look for a Menu or Setup button on your television’s remote control (not your cable remote control) and press it.
You should see an on-screen menu appear.
2. Look for an option to control audio functions and select it.
3. Look for a setting to turn off your TV’s internal speakers and select it.
If you can’t turn off your TV internal speakers, don’t worry. To enjoy the best performance from your PLAYBAR, you’ll want to
turn the sound on your TV all the way down. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and the
PLAYBAR.
1. Turn the TV volume all the way down using the control buttons on your television.
2. Using the volume control buttons on your PLAYBAR, set the volume to a normal listening level (do not use
the remote control).
After you make these adjustments, your PLAYBAR should always be louder than your TV speakers. Then simply use the
TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do.
HOW TO SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR PLAYBAR
Important Note: If adjusting your TV’s volume also adjusts the volume of your PLAYBAR, then following the instructions below
is not necessary. Your remote will control the PLAYBAR without programming.
Programming Instructions: Your PLAYBAR is currently programmed to respond to the remote control that is included with the
product. However, we strongly recommend that you program the PLAYBAR to also respond to your existing remote control
using the steps illustrated below thereby enabling you to operate everything using a single remote.
Example: To have your PLAYBAR learn the “Volume Up” command of your remote control:
1. Press and hold “LEARN” on the PLAYBAR until the LED blinks orange.
2. Press “Volume Up” ( ). LED stops blinking and remains While holding your TV’s remote within 1-2 feet of the PLAYBAR,
quickly tap the “Volume Up” ( ) button approximately 4 times. With each tap the status LED should blink quickly (like a
strobe). After the 4th button press the status indicator LED should blink green for about 3 seconds.
Repeat steps 1-3 to program “Volume Down” ( ), Mute and Power buttons ( ).
Equalization (Sound Settings)
SONOS PLAYBAR

You can easily change the sound settings (bass, treble or loudness) for the SONOS PLAYBAR.
1. Using a handheld controller, select Settings -> Room Settings.
2. Touch to select a room.
3. Select Music Equalization, and then drag your finger across the bass, treble, or balance sliders to make adjustments.
To change the Loudness setting, select On or Off. (The loudness setting boosts certain frequencies, including bass, to
improve the sound at low volume.)
