Anyone here use the Night mode or speech enhancement stuff? Any "best settings" to be aware of?
Well my beam has arrived a d I have it set up just in time for the Chelsea v utd game 
A remote would have been nice and waving my ipad around to get the sound right was abit of a faff. But so far loving it. Will **** it on some films and music later on.

Yeah I got the remote working the volume. Although it’s does go up and down fairly slowly. Using the app on my iPad is a lot quicker.
I did notice a ever so slight lip sync issue when watching a film on apple 4K . I’ll have to check all stuff now to see it’s just that movie / all apple films or it’s happening with panny ub900 as well.

That's true it does climb slowly
I am still on Optical as HDMI ARC didn't work, can't figure out why 
did your set up go smoothly? Watched a movie last night, Gatsby, lots of music etc throughout and I found the system to be fantastic for that. Plenty of bass for our needs too

Took me 3 attempts to set up true play.....I wasn’t waving to around enough lol. Not tried anything yet to see about the sync issue. Did you setup the connection on tv for arc ? What tv do you have ?
I'm hoping to grab a SONOS set-up soon. Nearly took the plunge last week, but decided to wait to see if there will be any Black Friday deals - although I might be clutching at straws, they seem notorious for not discounting anything much.
I'm after a Playbar for the lounge, Play:5 for the conservatory, and One for the kitchen, so it's going to be a fairly major outlay.

I did
I have a Samsung KS7000. it should be fine surely but I just can't get it to go, the beam couldn't even detect that it was a Samsung something has to be wrong somewhere but I think it's mostly for the alexa tv control stuff which I wouldn't use anyway I doubt but still, want it to work!

so is the Beam worth getting?I have a 50 inch KS8000 and originally wanted a Playbase, bu the stand on the KS8000 is too wide to sit on top of the playbase.
The Beam is worth getting. My missus bought it during the Black Friday sale and it's a great bit of kit! Very compact so will sit nicely in front of your TV or it can be wall mounted if you prefer. Only downside is that it is not cat-proof! Our cat can now control the Beam when he decides to walk all over it.
We do plan on getting another Play1 to side with the Play1 in the front room and group them together with the Beam to get surround sound.

@CK61938 Ahhh sonos have thought of that. When I first got my playbase my cat liked to sit on it and I once ended up on max volume before I could get there.
If you go into the app, you can disable the buttons. I never use the buttons on my playbase anyway. So now when he jumps up there's not a shock to be had.

My dot will play Spotify on my Play 5 so I don't see why not.

I'd expect it to work however I found this and wasn't sure (It may of course be very out of date).

Hey guys, quick question from the forum Sonos experts
I got two Sonos Play 1’s today, got them super cheap and have ended up replacing my Echo’s with them after hearing how good they sound.
I’m thinking of getting a third, so I’ve got one on each floor. Was looking at Sonos One for the AirPlay 2 capabilities. Am I reading right that if I AirPlay something to the Sonos One, it can play it across the Play 1’s throughout the house as well? If so then that’s perfect

Yes, airplay to the airplay-supporting speaker then group with the older speakers. Works great for me, I only have a couple Play 5s but many other zones with the older bits!
