Hi Krister, Yes,sonos has a sleep timer as well as alarms. You can set single alarms, repeating alarms and multiple alarms. You can specify what stream your alarm should play, e.g. you could tell it to play a particular playlist, artist or even a particular internet radio stream or subscription based music service. You can also specify that the alarms starts playing your selection and then stops automatically after, say 1 hour. This works well for people who have a routine in the morning which starts with being woken up, doing their thing and then leaving for work.
I don't know the dock you have, but yes, as long as your dock has either RCA or 3.5mm out you could hook it up to a Connect. Keep in mind that a Connect alone doesn't do anything, you have to connect it either to an existing stereo receiver or amplifier with speakers or hook up a set of powered computer speakers. The Play 5 also has a 3.5mm audio in jack so unless you want another player somewhere you could hook up your dock to your Play 5 in the living room and of course you could play what's coming from the dock on your Play 3 or Play 1. Keep in mind that somewhere you need a wired connection to your router. This would either mean you have to connect your Play 5 to your router or if that is not practical you can just get a \sonos Bridge, put it near your router and then all your other players can run off the bridge wirelessly, all you need to do is place themnear a power outlet. Lastly, keep in mind that Sonos has a 30-day money back guaranty. I would order from them directly although they do have retailers and I assume the money back guaranty can be done through them as well. Take care, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Krister Ekstrom Sent: Friday, August 01, 2014 1:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Questions about Sonos and its features Hello again. I’m thinking of adding a Sonos sound system to my wish list for christmas or something, but before i decide if i should get one or not, i have some more questions. I’m thinking about buying a Sonos Play 5 or two for my living room and a Sonos Play 3 or 1 to have on the balcony and/or generally carrying around and a connect to hook my JBL Onbeat dock out in the kitchen to provided i can do that. Not sure how the connect works but would it be possible to have such a setup? Does the app for Sonos have a sleep timer? How would one go about listening to audio books on the sonos system? Thanks. /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
