Yes. Absolutely you can.
1. In the app, near the top of the screen, you'll find a button that is
labeled with the name of the room that is currently playing. If you've
grouped multiple rooms, it will be labeled with the name of all grouped
rooms. For example, in my case, I hear Studio and bedroom. Double tap on
this button.
2. Now, in the bottom of the screen, you'll see a button that says room
settings. Double tap on this.
3. Now, find the room for the speaker you want to adjust the base and
trebble. Double tap on it.
4. In this screen, you should find a few things. Trueplay, which
basically calebrates the speaker via means of test tones being played.
This process is 100% accessible. It didn't used to be, but I got ahold of
them, and worked very very extensively with them, and though I cannot
clame that it was me who made it accessible, I think I probably had a huge
part to do with it. You also under here have settings for compression on
or off, reducing loudness, and your base/trebble, all of which are
accessible.
As for volume, the play5 is a little weird. Let me try explaining this.
Take your hand on the front of the speaker grill on the front face of the
speaker bezil. In the top center, you're going to feel a raised engraving
bit of print letters. Note, this only is applicable to the Play5. I'll
explain the Play 1 and 3 in a second. OK, so get yourself oriented with
that emblum. It's going to be magic key to getting this to work.
On the print raised label, move your finger up from the front face bezil
right to the top of the unit. Let your finger glide off the front of your
unit over the top edge until it rests right on the top of the speaker
right there aligned with where that printed label would be on the front
speaker grill. There is a small little window there. This is a touch
pannel, but don't worry. This is very very very very very easy once you
know where that print label is. You're gonna use that as home base to line
yourself up. There are only 3 items on this touch screen, and they are not
context sensitive. They always no matter what will be the same. They never
ever ever change. So... on the left side of the window is volume down. On
the right side is volume up. In the very center is play/pause. So if you
can take your finger on the front faced print logo, then just slide your
finger up off the front, over to the top of the unit, your finger should
glide right over the window on the area you need to touch. This sounds
maybe a little tricky, but I swear. It's not. It's really easy. I was able
in the Best Buy store to consistently get this to work the very first try.
It's really really not hard once you know where that print label is, and
no this little trick.
The play 1 and 3's are a little different. On them, there is no touch
screen. There are physical buttons.
You will notice that you have a long virtical bar on the top of the
speaker, just a little offset to the left from the bottom center of the
top of the unit. Actually, I'm wrong, I just looked at mine. It's not
offset. It's actually dead smack center. This is the volume. Obviously the
bar is a rocker button. The top part will turn it up with each press, and
the bottom part turns it down. Just above this is a small square button.
It's about the size of the pad of your finger. This is play/pause.
Two things to note. ON the Play5, in the back of the speaker, where your
power cord and your line in jack and what not is, there is a small little
button. This is the connect button. When connecting the speaker to your
controller, you'll be asked to hit the connect button. This is the button
they're talking about.
On the Play1 and Play3, what you're gonna do is, you're gonna press the
volume up, and the play/pause buttons at the same time, don't hold them
in. Just press and release. You're not gonna hold the connect button
either on the play5, just push and release, by the way. No holding
necessary. You should hear then a small little chime tone through the
speaker, which will indicate you did it correctly, and the controller
software should then progress automatically to the next step in the setup
process.
One more thing. When a song is playing, on either the play1 or play 5, as
well as the play 3, double pressing, or in the case of the play 5,
tapping, the play pause button will advance to the next song, if anything
is in the queue. The queue gets slightly more advanced, so I won't cover
that here, but generally, doing this will get you to the next track.
On iOS, to turn up and down the volume, near the bottom of the screen,
you'll find a button that says what is playing. Double tap on this to open
the now playing screen. ON this screen, you'll find an adjuster which you
can flick up and down on with one finger to raise/lower the volume.
HTH.
Chris.

If you use an iPhone, can you adjust the volume, bass, treble and such?
The Sonos itself is totally flat, and I don’t know how to use its
controls.

Hi Christine,
I haven't used Sonos on the Mac, but the IOS version works very well. If
you have an i-device, give that a try.
Cheers,

I just got a Sonos Player: 5. I have installed the Sonos software, but
it seems very visual and I can do nothing with it. It appears to have
added my music, but all I see are images and I’m wondering how to
actually make it work. It is testing my stupidity levels right now and
finding them high.
