Location and usage guidelines
You can use your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• When the microphone is on, Roam tunes itself with automatic Trueplay™ for amazing sound no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.
• You can place Roam next to a wall or on a shelf—for best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
• Roam’s durable design includes silicone end caps to protect the speaker if it’s dropped or bumped.
• For optimal performance, avoid placing Roam in direct sunlight.
• Roam can be placed horizontally or vertically. When vertical, Roam takes up barely any room. Position it horizontally for added stability on uneven surfaces.

Waterproof design
Roam has an IP67 rating—it’s dustproof and waterproof and can be submerged 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. If Roam gets saturated with water, you can dry it off this way:

1. Flush Roam with tap water, then give it a quick shake.
2. Place the speaker vertically for a few seconds until it drains, then place it face down (logo side down) on a dry towel for a few minutes.
3. Start playing some audio to assist with drainage.

Note: Don’t play audio when Roam is immersed in water.

Automatic Trueplay™
Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your speaker’s microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make periodic tuning adjustments to deliver the best  sound.
Note: Auto Trueplay is disabled if Google Assistant is set up as your voice assistant.

Microphone on/off
The microphone is used for voice control, and for automatic Trueplay tuning. Press to turn the microphone on or off—the microphone LED light will let you know when your voice assistant is listening.
When the microphone light is on,

• If you have a voice assistant, voice control is on and your voice assistant is ready to respond.
• Auto Trueplay tuning is enabled so Roam can automatically adjust its sound for your surroundings.

When the microphone light is off,

• If you have a voice assistant, voice control is off—your voice assistant is not listening.
• Automatic Trueplay tuning is disabled.

Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few guidelines:

• Move is made to give you powerful sound anywhere—auto Trueplay tuning periodically balances the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. The microphone has to be on for automatic tuning so if you don’t  leave the microphone on all the time, turn it on for a few minutes whenever you move your speaker so it can automatically adjust the sound for your new surroundings.
• Move sounds great even when placed next to a wall or on a shelf. For best performance, leave at least 1″ (2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
• It’s ultra durable. With a tough outer shell and IP56 rating, Sonos Move is built to withstand falls, bumps, moisture, dust, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Just don’t leave it out in a soaking rain storm, and remember that the charging base that’s included is for indoor use only.
• Don’t use or store your Sonos Move upside down.

Automatic Trueplay™
You can put Sonos Move just about anywhere. Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your speaker’s microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make periodic tuning adjustments to deliver the best sound.
If you don’t want the microphone on all the time, be sure to turn it on whenever you move the speaker. Your Sonos Move starts retuning when you pick it up, and continues to adjust the sound for a few minutes after you place it in a new  location.
Note: Auto Trueplay is disabled if Google Assistant is set up as your voice assistant.

Five

The high-fidelity speaker for superior sound—

• Three woofers provide deep bass within a sealed architecture that eliminates reverb and echo. Two side tweeters create an ultra wide soundstage while a center tweeter optimizes vocal playback.
• Use the line-in port to connect your turntable or another device—simple control with the Sonos S2 appor Apple AirPlay 2.
• Versatile design with smart orientation sensing. Pair two speakers horizontally and Five automatically separates the left and right channels for impressive stereo sound. When paired vertically, each smartly adjusts to mono for more detailed stereo  separation and an even wider soundstage.
• Pair two Fives for left-right stereo sound or use two Fives as rear surrounds for your home theater.
• Compatible with Sonos S2 only.
• See Getting started when you’re ready to add a Five to your Sonos system.

Note: The front grille is not removable. Tampering with the grille may result in damage to your Five.

Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have a few guidelines:

• The Five is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure Five’s rubber feet sit completely on the flat surface.
• Allow at least 2″ perimeter all around Five including its power cord.
• For a single Five speaker we recommend positioning the speaker horizontally to enable stereo sound.
• Place Five across the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear height for best results).
• For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs.
• The Five is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water resistant so don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.

Speaker mounts and stands

Connect the cables

Before you start

1. Disconnect existing home theater or surround sound equipment from your TV.
2. Connect any external devices, like a cable box or DVD player, directly to your TV.
3. Turn your TV on.

Connect the power cord

1. Insert the power cord firmly into Arc’s power port until it’s fully connected.
   

2. Plug the other end into a power outlet.
   Caution: Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-party power cord will void your warranty).

Connect Sonos Arc to your TV
Use the HDMI cable to connect the soundbar to your TV. If your TV doesn’t have an ARC or eARC port, you’ll need to use the optical adapter too (the app guides you through it during setup).

1. Fully insert the HDMI cable into Arc’s HDMI port.
   

2. Connect the HDMI cable to your TV:
   • If your TV has an HDMI ARC or eARC port, plug the HDMI cable directly into the TV port labeled ARC, eARC, or ARC/eARC.
   • If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC port, you’ll need to connect the optical audio adapter (included) to your TV’s Digital audio out instead.

HDMI ARC or eARC
HDMI ARC is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port—it may be on the back or side of your TV.
The ports look similar, but the ARC port will be labeled ARC, eARC, or ARC/eARC. If you connect Sonos Arc to a standard HDMI port instead, you won’t hear any sound.

Note: For TVs that don’t have an ARC port, use the optical audio adapter (included) to connect Sonos Arc to your TV’s Digital audio out.

Digital audio out
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI ARC or eARC port, you’ll use the optical audio adapter (included) to connect to your TV’s digital audio out port.

1. Remove the protective cap from the adapter.

2. Attach the optical adapter to the HDMI cable.
   

3. Connect the optical adapter to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.
   Note: The optical adapter’s port is “D-shaped”—make sure the connector aligns correctly into the port.
   Inserting the adapter incorrectly may damage the cable.

If you don’t have the free Sonos app, download it from the app store. You’ll need it to set up and control your Sonos system. See Getting started.

Microphone on/off
Touch on your Sonos Arc to turn the microphone on and off. (If you don’t have a voice service installed, the microphone is inactive.)
When the microphone light is on, voice control is on and your voice assistant is ready to respond. When the microphone light is off, voice control is off.

Note: If you’ve installed Amazon Alexa and the microphone is off, you can still use voice commands. Just press and hold  while talking to Alexa—no need to start with a wake word. When you release the microphone button, voice control turns off again.

Wall mount

Guidelines

• Use the Sonos Arc wall mount kit. You can buy it on www.sonos.com. Follow the instructions in the kit.
• Keep 4.0″ (102 mm) space (minimum) between Sonos Arc and your TV.

• For best sound quality, keep both ends of Arc at least 1′ (30cm) from a wall or other obstruction.

Mount kit contents

• Wall mount bracket
• Positioning guide (don’t discard—it may look like packing material)
• 2 knobs
• 6 wall anchors
• 6 screws

Note: Don’t discard the positioning guide. It may look like packing material.

1. If your TV is wall-mounted, place the positioning guide against the wall, aligning the top edge with the bottom of your TV. There should be 5.5″ (140 mm) between the top of the wall mount bracket and the TV.
   

2. Mark the screw locations and remove the guide. Refer to Wall mounting information for placement help.
   

3. If you’re using the included wall anchors, use a 5/16″ drill bit to drill the pilot holes and then insert the wall anchors. Don’t use the anchors if you’re drilling into wood or plastic.
   

4. Position the wall mount bracket over the marked screw locations, using a level to confirm accuracy. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver or a power drill to screw the bracket to the wall, making sure the arrows in the center are pointing up.
   

5. Screw the 2 knobs into the back of the soundbar until they are fully tightened.
   

6. Connect the power and HDMI cables to the back of the soundbar.
   Note: If you’re connecting the cables to the TV at this time, be sure to plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI ARC or eARC port on your TV.

1. Fully insert the HDMI cable into Arc SL’s HDMI port.
   

2.  Connect the HDMI cable to your TV:
   • If your TV has an HDMI Arc or eArc port, plug the HDMI cable directly into the TV port labeled Arc, eArc, or Arc/eArc.
   • If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI Arc port, you’ll need to connect the optical audio adapter (included) to your TV’s Digital audio out instead.
   HDMI Arc or eArc
   HDMI Arc is a special port that looks like a standard HDMI port—it may be on the back or side of your TV. The ports look similar, but the Arc port will be labeled Arc, eArc, or Arc/eArc. If you connect Sonos Arc SL to a standard HDMI port instead, you won’t hear any sound.
   Note: For TVs that don’t have an Arc port, use the optical audio adapter (included) to connect Sonos Arc SL to your TV’s Digital audio out.

Digital audio out
If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI Arc or eArc port, you’ll use the optical audio adapter (included) to connect to your TV’s digital audio out port.

1. Remove the protective cap from the adapter.

2. Attach the optical adapter to the HDMI cable.
   

3. Connect the optical adapter to the TV’s optical digital OUT port.
   Note: The optical adapter’s port is “D-shaped”—make sure the connector aligns correctly into the port.
   Inserting the adapter incorrectly may damage the cable.
   If you don’t have the free Sonos app, download it from the app store. You’ll need it to set up and control your Sonos system. See Getting started.

Wall mount
Guidelines

• Use the Sonos Arc SL wall mount kit. You can buy it on www.sonos.com. Follow the instructions in the kit.
•  Keep 4.0″ (102 mm) space (minimum) between Sonos Arc SL and your TV.
• Make sure the touch controls are facing up.
• For best sound quality, keep both ends of Arc SL at least 1′ (30cm) from a wall or other obstruction.

Mount kit contents

• Wall mount bracket
• Positioning guide (don’t discard—it may look like packing material)
• 2 knobs
• 6 wall anchors
• 6 screws

Note: Don’t discard the positioning guide. It may look like packing material.

1. If your TV is wall-mounted, place the positioning guide against the wall, aligning the top edge with the bottom of your TV. There should be 5.5″ (140 mm) between the top of the wall mount bracket and the TV.
   

2. Mark the screw locations and remove the guide. Refer to Wall mounting information for placement help.
   

3. If you’re using the included wall anchors, use a 5/16″ drill bit to drill the pilot holes and then insert the wall anchors. Don’t use the anchors if you’re drilling into wood or plastic.
   

4. Position the wall mount bracket over the marked screw locations, using a level to confirm accuracy. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver or a power drill to screw the bracket to the wall, making sure the arrows in the center are pointing up.
   

5. Screw the 2 knobs into the back of the soundbar until they are fully tightened.
   

6. Connect the power and HDMI cables to the back of the soundbar.
   Note: If you’re connecting the cables to the TV at this time, be sure to plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI Arc or eArc port on your TV.
   

7. Slide the soundbar down so the knobs fit into the slots on the wall bracket. Make sure the touch controls are facing up, and the soundbar is fully seated.

• If you have analog inputs on your AVR or amplifier, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect Port’s analog audio output to the audio inputs on the receiver.
• Select the proper input channel on the receiver. See Control volume from your AVR or amplifier to adjust volume settings.

If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system.
If you’re connecting to a computer
You’ll need a stereo mini to RCA Y-adapter audio cable (one 1/8″ stereo miniplug to dual RCA male connectors) to connect from Port’s analog audio output to your computer’s audio input.
If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store on your mobile device. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system.
Line-in
Connect an external source like a phono preamp (your turntable may have a built-in phone preamp), or other audio device. Learn more.
Line-out
Control volume from your AVR or amplifier (Fixed line-out level)
Set Port’s line-out level to Fixed if you want to control the volume exclusively from your AVR or amplifier. You won’t be able to use the Sonos app to adjust the volume or equalization settings. Go to settings and choose Fixed for the Line-Out Level.

Control the volume from Sonos (Variable line-out level)
When Port’s line-out level is set to Variable, you can use the Sonos app to adjust the volume.

1. Adjust your AVR or amplifier’s volume to your typical listening volume.

2.  Make sure the line-out level is set to Variable. If it’s not, you’ll need to change it:
   • Go to settings and choose Variable for the Line-Out Level.

3. Use the Sonos app to adjust the volume so you can hear music on your Sonos system. It may need to be turned up fairly high.

4. Readjust the volume on your AVR or amplifier so it falls within your typical listening range.
   Use Sonos to control the volume on your home theater or amplifier
   When Port’s line-out level is set to Pass-Through, Port stays at a fixed volume and sends volume commands to your amplifier. You can control volume using the Sonos app, a universal remote, or your voice if you have a voice assistant enabled.
   • Go to settings and choose Pass-Through for the Line-Out Level.
   Note: Make sure your amplifier supports Pass-Through. If you set the line-out level to Pass-Through and your amplifier doesn’t support it, you won’t be able to control the volume.

Sub
Sonos Sub takes your audio experience to the next level—

• Instantly adds a dimension of deep bass impact to your audio listening experience.
• Pair Sub (Gen 3) with any other Sub and feel the bass from every corner of the room.
• Allows placement anywhere because it’s wireless and compact—position it vertically or horizontally on any floor surface.
• The top of the acoustic slot doubles as a handle so you can lift it.
• Sub (Gen 3) is compatible with Sonos S2 only.
• See Getting started when you’re ready to add a Sub to your Sonos system.
  Note: Sonos Sub is designed for use with most Sonos speakers, except Sonos Connect, Port and Move.
  Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding Sub.

Controls and lights

If the light is distracting, you can turn it off in your room’s settings.
Connector panel
Ethernet port| Use an Ethernet cable to connect Sub to your home network.
AC power (mains) input| Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a third party power cord will void your
warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country. Push the power cord firmly into Sub until it is flush with the surface.

Select a location
Choose a location—it’s designed to provide optimal sound wherever you place it.

• Use the acoustic slot as a handle to lift Sub out of the box. You should always bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid undue stress on your back.
• Make sure at least one side of the slot is free from obstruction. If you place it vertically against a wall, don’t block the front opening. If you place Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it.
• Sub is designed to sit on the floor. 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.
• Position Sub either vertically or horizontally. If you’re going to use it horizontally, you can attach permanent felt feet (available upon request, contact Sonos Support). See Attach feet (optional) for more information.

Make sure at least one side of the rectangular opening (acoustic slot) is unobstructed.

• If you place Sub vertically flush against a wall, don’t block the front acoustic slot.
• If you place Sub horizontally on the floor, don’t put anything on top of it. Leave at least 1″ clearance along the top of Sub if placing under furniture.

Note: Sub contains strong magnets. Don’t place it near equipment that is sensitive to magnetic fields.
Attach feet (optional)
If you’re placing Sub horizontally on a floor, you can attach permanent felt feet (available upon request, contact Sonos Support) to protect your floor. If you’re putting it on a rug or using it vertically, no need to adhere the felt feet.
Note: The felt feet are not removable—a strong adhesive will keep them permanently attached to Sub.

1. Lay Sub down so the Sonos logo is facing down. Make sure you adhere the felt feet to the side that doesn’t have the Sonos logo.

2. Place the enclosed guide on one corner of the unit and fold the flaps over the edge.
   

3. Peel the backing off one of the feet.

4. Press the felt foot (sticky side down) onto the unit inside the circular portion of the guide.

5. Attach the other 3 felt feet the same way.

Connect the cables
Attach the power cord and plug in Sub. Be sure to push the power cord firmly into Sub until it is flush with the surface.
If you don’t have the app, download it from the app store. You’ll use it to set up and control your Sonos system. See Getting started. Make sure you set up at least one speaker before adding Sub.
Note: After Sub is paired with a Sonos speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in . Any changes you make to that Sonos speaker (volume, mute, music selection) will also affect Sub.

Sub settings
Sub’s settings are set during the initial setup process, but you can make changes anytime.

1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub.
   It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.

2.  Ta p Sub Audio.

3. Choose one of the following options:
   • Sub: Choose On or Off to turn the sound from Sub on and off.
   • Sub Level: Use the slider to increase or decrease volume. (You can use this setting to match the subwoofer level to the level of your main speakers.)

4. Phase Control: Choose 0° or 180° to set the phase control for your Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer.
   This can help integrate your subwoofer with other speakers in the room. (You’ll see this setting when you pair a Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer with a Sonos Amp or Connect:Amp.)

5. Crossover Frequency: Adjust the frequency at which the sound transitions to the subwoofer. By default this is 80 Hz.
   You may wish to choose a different crossover frequency if:

6. The main speakers sound distorted at high volumes—moving to a smaller speaker size setting can help.

7. Your attention is drawn to Sub’s location while listening to music—moving to a larger speaker size setting can help.

• Recalibrate Sub. If you move your Sub to another location, purchase new speakers, or just want to adjust the sound after initial setup, you can recalibrate Sub (Android devices only).
• Select the size of your stereo speakers (Connect:Amp only).
• Press Play to compare the volume of two test sounds, A and B, and then select No Difference, A is louder or B is louder.
•  Press Play to listen to a test sound, and then select the level you prefer.

Pair Sub with a different speaker
You can easily pair Sub with a different Sonos speaker (except the Sonos Connect).
If you’re moving Sub to a new room, wait for the status light to stop flashing after you plug it back in.

1. Go to the sound settings for the room that’s associated with your Sub.
   It appears as room (+Sub) in your list of rooms.

2. Remove Sub.

3.  You can pair Sub with a different Sonos product or choose not to use Sub right now. It will appear in as Sub (unused) until you pair it with another Sonos speaker.

Boost
For when existing WiFi isn’t reliable enough for streaming music—

• Boost broadcasts 360° signals through walls and ceilings for flawless coverage.
• Streams without interference in the most challenging WiFi environments.
• Bypasses your WiFi to create a separate high-performance wireless network just for Sonos speakers.
• Works with either Sonos S2 or Sonos S1 .

When to use a Boost

• Your WiFi is slow or temperamental, or your network is already in high demand with streaming video, gaming, and internet usage.
• WiFi doesn’t reach all the rooms where you want to use Sonos. Extend the range of your Sonos system by placing a Boost in between the Sonos speaker that’s out of reach and the rest of the Sonos system.
•  Your network is 5 GHz only (not switchable to 2.4 GHz).
• Your router supports only 802.11n (you can’t change the settings to support 802.11b/g/n).

Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum performance, we have a few guidelines:

• The Play:5 is a substantial and powerful speaker and should be placed on a flat surface that is robust and durable enough to properly support it. Make sure the Play:5’s rubber feet sit completely on the flat surface.
• Allow at least 2″ perimeter all around the Play:5 including its power cord.
•  For a single Play:5 speaker we recommend positioning the speaker horizontally, enabling stereo sound over a wide sound stage. (A single Play:5 speaker positioned in vertical mode is a mono speaker—there is no stereo separation.)
•  Place the Play:5 across the room from where you’ll be listening (at or close to your ear height for best results).
• For stereo pair placement information, see Stereo pairs.
• The Play:5 is humidity resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water resistant so don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.

• Feet must be at least 2.3″ (58mm) tall to allow for Playbase clearance.
• If the feet are too close together or they’re not quite high enough, don’t try to force your Playbase to fit.

On a TV cabinet shelf

• For the best sound, place Playbase toward the front of the furniture but DON’T let it hang over the edge.
• Allow at least 2″ all around the Playbase.

Note: Don’t place objects lighter than 5 lb (2.3 kg) on top of your Playbase or the sound may send them flying.

Connect the cables
