Subby1624705798 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Just gotten the Sonos bundle in today :) Setting up is simple and set it up in less than 10mins. 2 zones set up: 1 Living Rm and the other Media Room. The Living Rm is linked up first and subsequently the Media Room Controls different zones to play different music or can also choose to play same music. Great!!
hifiluv Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Hi enjoy your new toy... so what is the rest of yr setup like, speakers, etc. :)
Subby1624705798 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 Hi enjoy your new toy... so what is the rest of yr setup like, speakers, etc. :) Just temporary set up, you can see my ELAN in-wall speakers is only attached to a carton box ;D The other set is attached ELAN outdoor speakers in the media room.
Subby1624705798 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 Oh, The Music Rm ZP100 is linked to my router but the Media Rm is not linked physically by wire i.e., wireless. Controls can be done on my Desktop too!

SiriuslyCold Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Subby, congrats on your new Sonos!! maybe one of these days we can get a listen eh. the player units are Tripath powered aren't they :)
hifiluv Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 cannot too slow lah...can fall asleep one, u know! :o ahem, in my yrs of "experience" i hv never know to fall asleep or hear of anyone doing so while in the midst of action, not matter how slow... ;D

I noticed that you have to ram up the volume quite high before you can really feel the bass. Overall I am very impressed with Sonos. Few things to take note: 1) I think you need to run your computer together. Once your comp is off, everything goes down. Therefore it would be good to have a dedicated server just for this. 2) A true NAS Harddisk server is required. Currently using Netgear SC101 and this is no good as the reference is always to your comp. You wanna come over and take a look?
SiriuslyCold Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 would love to one of these days! (hard when u have kids, weekends is her time)
Subby1624705798 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 would love to one of these days! (hard when u have kids, weekends is her time) Fully understandable. Weekends are for my 2 "monkeys". The only "free time" I have is during work or when they fall asleep (after 12:00) If you want to, preferably weekdays, if you can.

My children love being read to, so that can be squeezed in as quality time... Sighzz so much things to do so little time to do it... Regards. Dirtrun

Currently using Netgear SC101 and this is no good as the reference is always to your comp. You wanna come over and take a look? Hi, I do know that SC101 uses a special NAS driver that can only be ran from a Comp. You would need a standalone UPnP or CIFS/SMB NAS. That means, Buffalo Linkstation, Synology 106e..etc. I'm using SC101 too, but it definitely would not work with direct connection to SONOS. Rgds
