Sonos PLAYBASE

TV placement guidelines
The PLAYBASE can be placed either under your TV or on a shelf.
Before you get started
Before you start setting up the Sonos PLAYBASE, make sure any external components, like your cable box,
DVD player, etc. are connected directly to your TV.
If you have any existing home theater or surround sound equipment, disconnect it from your television.
Note: Don’t place objects lighter than 5 lbs. (2.3 kgs) on top of your PLAYBASE or
the sound may send them flying.
•Lift the TV and put PLAYBASE 
under it with the Sonos logo facing
front.
•Make sure the TV stand rests com-
pletely on the PLAYBASE with no
overhang.
•Your TV should not weigh more than
77 lbs.
•Allow at least 1” between PLAYBASE
and other surfaces, such as walls or
cabinets.
Under TV with split foot stand
On a TV cabinet shelf
•PLAYBASE accommodates most TVs
with separate feet near the edges of the
screen. It will fit securely between the
feet, below the screen.
•Feet must be at least 2.3” (58mm) tall to
allow for PLAYBASE clearance.
•If the feet are too close together or
they’re not quite high enough, don’t try
to force your PLAYBASE to fit.
•For the best sound, place PLAYBASE
toward the front of the furniture but
DON’T let it hang over the edge.
•Allow at least 2” all around the PLAY-
BASE.
