The SONOS has a line-in connector on the back panel. Just connect it to your TV with a cable and use line-in option from software.

Yes, hook it up using either Aux or a line input. Play everything through it.

It has to be connected to another player. The connection inputs are stereo; they are located on the back and are marked IN.

Not sure on quality of streaming sites and types of sports. Might be an app around. Supplement it with basic cable.

Blame the sports organizations (NFL, MLB, NBA, etc..) for limiting internet streaming, not the designers of the network based music players who find it redundant to offer AM/FM tuners & antennas on such hardware. :)

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

cool thanks a bunch! Haven't ordered one yet, been reading the reviews first. I just got an I-touch and wanted something to listen to it on other than the earplugs. Has anyone tried the video output to the t.v yet?

I just looked at the unit today at BrandsMart in Atlanta. Didn't seem like there were many inputs at all on the back (as compared to most receivers.) I didn't spend much time on it, as I was just passing it and found it interesting. Perhaps if you called them, they could answer that question. They are located only in GA and FL, I believe.It has a very nice sound, in case you were wondering...

My personal opinion is to always hook optical directly to TV. Then you can simply switch inputs on TV and you get sound from whatever input is active (e.g. Cable box, blue ray, gaming console).

Hey Under -- I'm looking at the manual right now. See page 16 #8 where it describes the rear panel of the player. Is the manual advising that I use the analog out even if I'm already using HDMI. This is where I'm confused and why Samsung's tech support has confused me even more.FYI, I posted the very same question in forums of avforums.com and audioholics.com and the answer I received was NO. HDMI is all I need and the analog out would only be necessary if my receiver did not have HDMI.

As long as you don't want to listen to live sports broadcasts you can get most local radio stations with a few seconds delay from the over the air broadcasts - but many sports events will be blacked out. I can get some college football games via the Internet feed of my local stations. NO MLB WHATSOEVER. Why they didn't include a cheap AM/FM tuner built into this thing is a mystery. I can get radio stations that play Euro-disco from Poland but I can't listen to a local baseball game? Umm, OK. A classic case of technology giving us what we don't need and failing to provide what we do. I'm sure the nerds who work on this stuff don't think about sports though.

I still tried - adjusted the receiver and TV - now when i increase the TV volume and if the receiver is on - it increases the receiver volume with the same TV remote - so definitely the TV and receiver are linked - but still i don't hear the tv sound - I assigned a AV port 4 and i cant listen anything on that port 4 on the receiver. the analog sound out from tv goes to 2 and when i switch the receiver to port 2 - i hear the sound.

To get the apps to play out the receiver you need to run an audio signal from the tv to the receiver. The cable plays through the reciever because thats where the audio signal is generated. Since the tv apps sound is generated through the television it self you need too run an audio ouput from the tv to the reciever. I have mine hooked up this way. As far as the 3d goes I have no clue I only use the 3d with my ps3 and Iit automatically picks it up.

Dean Hansen, There is an audio output for receivers that carries a fixed (rather than the headphone-friendly "variable") output only. If there's a headphone option, it would need to be on the receiver, audio bar or Home Theater system, since one isn't available on the TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

No. There isn't an AUX in and you can only play using thier player Application via Wifi. The sound and range is good, but thier app has limitations like you can't organize a play list. It just plays in alphabetical order. I'm using a Best buy Rocket fish brand transmitter and reciever called rocket boost for what you are trying to do. It has great sound, but sometimes the signal gets broken up a little going through 3 walls and about 60 feet. It has two inputs, so I have one hooked to my computer and the other to a radio.

I like to listen to NFL / MLB on the radio, but typically live game broadcasts are not permitted to be broadcast on the internet. So I may find myself turning off the Squeezebox and turning on the old AM/FM to listen to the NFL. Not a deal breaker by any means, just an annoyance.(I know if I paid for Sirius I could listen to all the NFL games, but that's an expensive option. I also have a little Sangean AM-FM I can plug into the Boom.)

Very slight. I am running it through a receiver rather than directly to the TV. Works great for sports, but slight delay watching a talk show. Might just be how it is configured. Not too distracting.
