I have four sound bose docks can I play the same songs through all of them at the same time, Like... sonos?

You should be able to, but you would have to play the music from your computer or through Air Foil. Mine stopped working right, I never heard back from the manufacturer and I am unable to update the firmware.

Don't think so. You have to put the Dory onto one of your dock to play music. It'll just work on one at a time.

If your stereo has a stereo auxiliary input you can connect it. Sonos has standard RCA output jack

It's a speaker dock. I have no idea if it can do that. The sound was so tinny that I haven't used it since the first time.

The receiver cannot be controlled using a dock's remote. At least it doesn't work for me using a Bose SoundDock, it is probably the same with all docks. The unit doesn't seem to have anything that will detect a remote's command. I hope this helps answer your question!

If you mean use for example, an iPad to play music on both speaker sets at the same time, no. They will be on different frequencies and the source can only connect to one thing at a time.

I apologize for the late response. I do not know if this item will work with a BOSE Sound Dock because I do not own one.

That should work, but Sonos may not be your best choice if you use a phone, ipod, or portable mp3 player as your primary music source. The Play:5 has one standard mini jack for input, and one for output that you can use for headphones. I just tested mine with a Philips portable mp3 player and headphones. That being said, however, there's a good chance that your phone and portable music files don't have enough fidelity to really benefit from the high quality sound these speakers can produce. If your phone has bluetooth, then you may also want to consider a portable bluetooth speaker that you can easily carry with you. I think the Logitech/UE speakers can even pair up with one another and you could put four of those around the house for less than the cost of a multi-room Sonos system

You can charge and play music same time....I believe that answers your question

I have the same question. I used my old computer speakers as an iPod docking station. Can I do the same thing with these?

You will have to manually select the dock for input. It also has selections for "aux-in" and "radio" for the built-in tuner. You have to read the dimly-lit LED window in order to know which input is selected. The LED lights on mine quit working after several weeks making it impossible to see what input I was selecting. Mine is now sitting in the garage and no longer in use. I have purchased a Bose Mini-Link Bluetooth speaker as a replacement and it is wonderful.

You can play sound from all speakers at any time, but will only be true surround sound if the device your playing from is capable.

No you cannot. The device has 4 inputs, but only 2 can be used simultaneously.

Yes, you can, through the AUX input. Should work well; however, you may prefer the sound of the built-in CD player. (I do.) The secret is to run the built-in CD player non-stop for a couple days to burn it in. After that, it sounds very good.BTW, you'll need a stereo RCA to 3.5mm cable. (The RCA jacks go in the back of your multi-disk player, and the 3.5mm jacks go in the Bose.) These cables are dirt cheap, either on Amazon or eBay. If you unsure how to do this, take the Bose and your multi-disk player to your local Radio Shack, and they'll fix you up. (It will cost a little more, but still not very much.)

If you mean can you watch the picture on the tv and have the iPod playing - it is possible but you have to set up one channel to use the TV input and the sound from the ipod but then you would not be able to see the details of what you are playing on the ipod and you would not be using the iPod dedicated dock which works really well by the way - this is an excellent unit - I have been using many surround sound systems with multiple speakers for many years but the sound from the BOSE is definitely superior

to the best of my knowledge you can only use the ones you plug in. i was wondering the same thing when i got my BOSE, and i bought this because i found out most dont do that yet.

Sure. Each one operates as full stereo, you can't use as separate channels. You would just set each one up as an AirPlay speaker in iTunes. Then you could put them all over the house, turn on/off individually, even adjust volume separately.
