Once I get it all set up and learn how to use it, I can begin adding speakers, etc. I am excited to get started. Marie From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, March 11, 2016 8:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Sonos Hi Marie, As Robin said, even the current, newest Play 5 still has the 3.5mm line-in so hooking up anything like a Plextalk, VictorReader Stream or even a CD player is no problem. If you ha multiple Sonos Players whatever you connected to that Play 5 would also be available on all other Sonos Players. I think the Play 5 is probably more versatile than the Playbar, it really is meant to be a TV speaker.

My bad! I want to be able to plug in a PlexTalk or Stream if possible. this is not totally essential but would be nice. do you still thin a good starting point is the Play5 or would the play bar be a better beginning?Marie From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Sonos Just one thing I’d like to add and that is that there is a tuning option to optimize the Play 5 to a particular room. Sonos calls this “TruePlay” but if you want to do this you will need sighted help, it is not accessible if Voiceover is running. Also, FYI, while the new Play 5 has no longer a headphone jack, it is supposed to sound much better than the older ones.

Set up is a breeze and poses no problems for blind or visually impaired users no matter which model you get in my experience. Once your library is indexed by the sonos system then you could play anything you might have in terms of sound files from your computer. the only difference between first and 2nd generation play:5 for instance is the location of the button you press to initiate its detection by the system. In first gen it’s on top of the unit whereas in the newer 2nd generation it’s on the back of the unit. It’s nearly flush with the back of the unit but still detectable by touch once you know to look for it. I don’t think you’d have any trouble should you choose to try one; and the Play:5 still has the auxiliary input jack as well. I just thought I’d mention that. I hope that helps.

Also is it easy to stream from your computer over wifi? Thanks, Marie From: Robin Frost Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 10:27 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Sonos Hi, It is true that it hasn’t a headphone jack in the 2nd generation which to me wasn’t a huge loss as it was formerly located on the back of the unit making it difficult to access anyway. I hope that helps. Robin From: Marie Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 12:49 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Sonos I was just reading the reviews of the Sonos Play 5 and there were complaints that there was no output jack on this speaker? I was under the impressions that it did have a headphone jack but wonder if it was removed in the newer model. This is a real turn off for me. I guess I should have bought one earlier.
