Onn Roku Soundbar question (WalMart)





Obligatory "sorry if this has been covered", but I honestly looked all over and haven't been able to find a definitive answer.  I would like to use the Onn Roku Soundbar (the one exclusively at Walmart right now) strictly as a speaker to stream music to, without a connection to a TV.  Is that possible?  Thanks!


*[post moved to appropriate board]*
In case anyone has the same question in the future: it does require the TV be connected to stream to the speaker.

no, it won't sync as a home theater system with other speaker. the sonos surround system was design to work in the sonos ecosphere with a playbar/base, sub and 2 sonos match pairs. 
music is a different story. you can just add more speaker via the sonos connect amp or adding more sonos speakers. you need to add an external speaker selector and connect it to the front speaker connection on the receiver. set the receiver to stereo.
when you play them all together one pair may be too loud so you can connect an external speaker level volume control to the pair that are too loud. that can go in the remote location if needed. you can also get the speaker selector with volume 
controls built in.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/speaker-accessories/speaker-selector-switches/abcat0107032.c?id=abcat0107032 right: that's because your play:1 speakers do not support airplay. the support article below may help.
https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/airplay motherboard - optical s/pdif out port(s) at back panel
dvd player - appears to have no audio input
speakers - do they have an s/pdif input?

so it appears you don't have the right things to connect to the other right things.

thanks for prompt reply,
ok leave the dvd aside and tell me that can't my mother board act as an amplifier or receiver as my mother board is new and it has the best inbuilt realtek® alc892 8-channel sound card?
one more thing tell me a best solution to make 5.1 surround system with these speakers.

the motherboard audio does not have an amplifier in it to drive speakers, the speakers have the amp in them. and that motherboard is capable of 5.1 sound, it's an 8-channel sound card in fact. what exactly are you having issues with? read the manual to the motherboard and the speakers, between those it should tell you what you need to do. got it to work. had to manually set the apple tv 4k to "control receiver by ir", rather than auto. when i went through the sonos remote setup, i had to use another controller for the "mute" button part, as the siri remote does not have a mute button. hi dk,

 

thank you for your interest in the kd75x750h tv. unfortunately, apple airplay is not supported on the tv. however, you can add an apple tv external device thru hdmi connection in able to access this feature. for more details on what are tv models that can support apple tv app, please open this link https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-65x750h/articles/00227059

kris if you do a web search for flex sdr-1000 you will find alot of info.

i am pretty sure you are going to need a pc with a parallel port, once upon a time there was a usb adapter available that worked for this radio, the driver is available but you will most likely not find the adapter.
i had to run windows 7 32 bit to get mine to work.
i used the version of powersdr from the ke9ns website called excalibur, if you can't find it i have it backed up on my nas. those cables will work but you don't really need them as you only have to get to where the speaker wire comes out of the wall. just cut a pair of rca cables in half. there will be a center wire that connects to the positive and the shield, that wraps around the insulated center wire, is the negative. 
the only potential problem is that you may not have enough power to drive the rears loud enough. [@sijumanuel](/u/sijumanuel)

this one will work without hdmi monitoe attached

i do not need display now, i just have jn, source 5v-3a and ethernet cable. that’s all i use for remote desktop, i have used raspi in the same way. there is no switch. the s300 will play both the xlr and rca no matter what. however, please do not have both xlr and rca connected at the same time. this can cause a lot of strain on both the amp and the sources.
