SMART MUSIC AND TV !!!

The Playbar we struck gold!

The problem was also to listen to music and turn constantly having to adjust the volume of the TV without looking over your tablet or phone without additional turn on an amplifier or sound system.

Now we have an easy-to-use solution for a good tone of our LED TV's and usual SONOS comfort for listening to music.

The Playbar is as usual to control music via the home control, tablet or mobile phone.

As you get the TV activates the signal detected by the optical input and reproduced the TV sound.
The Playbar was the first SONOS component an infrared receiver that can be trained on existing remotes
to control volume up, volume and mute. The infrared signal can via a repeater at the back, for example. are forwarded to a receiver or the TV.

The only challenge is to find without the TV or the receiver responds to the correct remote control keys for this function. This works best if you only have a TV with built-in receiver and can be switched off the internal Lausprecher the TV so that the TV with the standard + - keys not constantly displays messages.

In our case, unfortunately, not possible, our Philips continually brings then the message that the LSP are disabled or something.

We use the TV but only as a display and still have a Dreambox DM7020HD and our solution:

Dreambox remote control will turn on Dreambox and TV (via HDMI CEC). We do not use so even the TV button to control level 2 for programming the TV to the Dreamboxfernbedienung.

We have simply trained to Playbar the volume buttons on the Dreambox and to avoid that then paralell
At the same time, the volume of the DM and the Playbar louder and quieter, we have a new profile created keymap_sonos.xml for the Dreambox in the directory "/ usr / share / enigma2" and there disabled volume keys. The new profile can then via a plugin that you are selected then reinstalled back to the Dreamboxoberfläche and is thus safe from updates.

Alternatively and more easily if it were only for this function is an extra remote control to use what-effective programmable or a Logitech Harmony, but I was the original Fernbedieung rather than, say, the Logitech Harmony 900 (I will probably resell).

The installation is very easy as the other Sonos components !!!

With the sound of the system we are happy for this award, and it can order the SUB (bass) and, for example, two of the new PLAY: to be extended 1.

CONCLUSION: SMART MUSIC AND TV !!!!!!!
