Stereo - what's your rig?

[Giles]

In the office…..Never where you need him when you need him.

Thanks for the offer, but I have an emceeQ here (well, in body if not mind atm), so he should be able to do it.....

[Graeme]

I'll be down on Sunday if you're after second or third level tech support.

[Giles]

Thank you Graeme, that had already been noted…..

Just reset everything G

OK.  Mike and I spent this morning trying to get it to work.  The bridge was fine and we could see that but no matter what we did we could not get to see the Sonos Play 5.  We popped into the office and picked up the 5 from there, it works fine.  So it looks like I have a bust Sonos Play 5.  Anyone had one fail on them?

Pair or Sonos Play 1 plus bridge (well, it comes free) just ordered.

[Snowy]

I wonder if it's somehow locked itself out on the wrong channel?

Try reset it using the 'process';

[Snowy]

Second thoughts, if you plug a laptop running the software directly into the ethernet port of the Play:5 does it pick up then? (If not, does that work on the other Play:5, if not ignore the test)

[Giles]

We did a reset it works.  Now how am I going to break the news to Paula that I needlessly bought 2 more Sonos components?

[seawolf]

You didn't needlessly buy anything. Send them to Snowy to compensate him for his tech support.

[Giles]

News been broken to Paula.  Response:  "Great, we can have music in the bedroom…."

[Chris]

You don't make beautiful music in the bedroom already?

[seawolf]

This is getting awkward.

[Chris]

That's what she said!

@Chris:

Obviously not beautiful enough for The Madame….

@JCar2666:

I told you to do this in the first place.  You can thank me

[Giles]

I know and thank you.  Just did not know how to do that.  I guess once I'd "solved" the problem, by buying more shit, my brain could function effectively & it was pretty tricky Googling "Sonos reset", I can tell you….

[JCar2666]

Glad you and P will be able to enjoy the Play1's now.  They're good separate but great as a stereo pair for the size

[Giles]

The plan is to have them set up as a stereo pair most of the time, but when we entertain and want to extend the range of the music (or have different music in different rooms), we'll split the pair.

Do those speakers just plug into the wall and connect to the network via iTunes it some native software?
