If you use the line in does it stream to all other sonos devices on your network?

Yes, it can stream just like your music would, assuming that you want it too. Like all Sonos components, you can play something different in each room or have them all on the same. So when the kids are watching a movie, the Sonos only plays that in their space and we listen to music in the kitchen. If we all are watching the same thing, then both the TV room and the kitchen have the movie sound.

No, Sonos does NOT use your wifi network at all. It plugs into your wired Internet connection at your router, and creates its own wireless network, which is proprietary and not standard Wifi. In fact, that is the entire job of the Bridge. Sonos wireless network is a mesh, meaning all sonos devices in the network can relay signals. So the more sonos, the better the network, the better the range of coverage.

You can control Sonos from a PC, if that is what you are asking. I run mine from my PC and my Kindle.

Stephanie, yes, but...You'll have to use the line-in on the Sonos. You'll have to use a 3.5mm headphone cable plugged into the headphone port of your CD player. You will still need to have the Sonos connected to the Internet and a computer or iPhone/android to command Sonos to use the line-in source to play. If you have a Mac computer and iTunes then you can also use line-in and an airport express. There may be another way, but it depends on your CD player and the rest of your system.Hope this helps.

Hi, sorry for my english, but i will try to explain you.You can buy only the Sonos PLAY 5, but you have to connect your SONOS to your router. Your Sonos needs to be connected to internet so you need to connect it with your router using a LAN CABLE. So your system is not going to be "wireless".When you buy a bridge you connect the bridge to your router with a LAN cable and your SONOS PLAY 5 could be in any part of your house because it connects wireless with your bridge ( your bridge shares the internet connection ).The sonos components shares a wireless connection between them, so only one of them should be connected wired to your internet connection.

The bridge just provides a connection between your network and the Sonos wireless network, it doesn't have any audio connections of its own. If you have existing speakers and you want to use them with Sonos, I think you want the Connect:Amp product

Yes, the server can act as a dlna media server and stream to other devices. I stream from mine to a dlna blu ray player.

Yes. It's the only way to use it. Plug in your LAN line from the wall jack.

No you do not. Each Sonos unit can play music independently via a single Bridge. You just need one Sonos Zone Player for each location.

Yes, every signal is sent to every emitter.. It does not matter which emitter you place on each device.

It looks like the Sonos has optical in so you will be fine! I have 4 things plugged into mine and it has no problem switching from one to the other.

Hello Nancy, that would depend on what kind of device you are attempting to stream from. As far as I can tell, as long as the device you are trying to stream from can support Bluetooth connectivity, then it should play through this device. It is more a matter of the device than the source. As long as the device you are listening on supports Bluetooth, this device should work with it... Hope this helps.

Yes it will through one of the output ports of the Sonos Connect unit: either optical, Coax, or RCA outputs of Sonos

Sometimes. When the speaker is connected to multiple devices, try disconnecting from all devices first.

No. Take a look at the Sonos Playbar, which has bluetooth & streaming. I think Best Buy had the Sonos model at the store when I was shopping, so you can hear it in person.

When I set up my Sonos Connect it was my only component so an Ethernet cable was required. If you have another Sonos component already connected to the internet then the Connect could be used with WiFi. As far as I know at least one of the Sonos components requires an Ethernet connection.
