I am new to the Sonos world and had my beam and 2 x Sonos Ones delivered today and I have a few questions I hope to get some help with.
Firstly here is my kit ; Panasonic TXl50E6B, Apple TV 3rd gen, and Sky HD box. I use the Apple TV for Netflix and Amazon Prime.
I have noticed that my TV does not seem to support DD pass through. If I hook up the beam to the TV via arc then my two sources have audio but the Sonos about bit in the app detects a stereo signal. What is happening with the Ones as rears in this situation?
I have also noticed that if I connect the optical out of the sky box, or the optical output of the ATV straight into the HDMI port of the Beam (using the supplied adapter) then I can get a dolby digital 5.1 signal. This causes the problem that I have to keep swapping the cable around for the two inputs. Also is it okay to have a 5.1 sound when there is no sub i.e. 5.0.
Has anyone got any ideas so I can get surround sound out my two ones without having to switch cable, or buy a new TV. If not then I guess I would either be better off sending the Ones back, or perhaps finding a system with more soundbar inputs somewhere.
Thanks in advance for any help or comments.
