Two Questions about Sonos
Discussion
Hi Folks,
After Years of hearing nothing but good feedback about sonos, I am seriously considering taking the plunge.
Had 2 questions which I don't seem to be able to find elsewhere
1. I quite like the look of the S5 - particularly as I have found a company that makes brackets for them so that I can put them on the wall. Are these naturally wireless enabled? - i.e if I bought one of these, do I only need to plug into the power, or would I also need one of their zone bridges to make it work wirelessly.
2. do all sonos players have inputs? - I'm getting a TV put into the kitchen, and plan to have a S5 near it. if I did this can I wire the TV into the Sonos so that:
a) the sound comes out that particular sonos device.
b) the S5 can also inject that signal round the other sonos machines in the house
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately it is no one and yes to the other.
For the S5 to be wireless it needs to use a bridge to get either out to the Internet or on to the network to see your stored music.
The good news is that bridges are now only about £40
I can't double check but I am certain it has a line input on the rear.
Just googled it and it had a line in using a 3.5mm stereo jack.
Happy to help with a pistonheads deal if you want some.

Thanks - that is what I feared reading through the marketing bumpfFor the S5 to be wireless it needs to use a bridge to get either out to the Internet or on to the network to see your stored music.

on the line in question, do you happen to know if the line in will only work with *that* sonos that its wired to, or can any sonos device act as an entry point into the sonos network? - i.e I could plug a source into the S5, and then squirt that sound to other sonos devices in the house..
cost isn't really an issue (up to a point). My wife not wanting Amps and Speakers everywhere is...! This is what started me looking at the sonos all in one speakers (that, and the recommomendations I had got) - I liked the idea of the one box mounted up on the wall with one powerlead!

I splashed the cash and bought an S3, and S5 and a zone bridge
Awesome - I'm hooked. Slightly dissapointed that the guys in Richer sounds really had no idea about how it worked, I had a couple of simple questions and they (even the manager) had no clue. In the end - I went and bought from john lewis.
Cheers
