Hi Folks,
I just got a Sonos Arc with a pair of Era100s and a Sub (gen3). I would love to pair it with my BenQ W770ST projector that has served me well for movie viewing for the past 10 years. I know, projectors aren’t exactly the intended companion for Sonos Arc, especially old ones without eARC, but my research prior to purchasing the Arc indicated that it was possible if I set it up with an HDFury Arcana. So great is my desire to have this work that I purchased one of those too.
I got my projector’s HDMI cord connected into the “HDMI out” port on the Arcana. I connected the HDMI from my Sonos Arc to the “eARC” port on the Arcana. A third HDMI is connecting my XboxOne to the “HDMI in” port on the Arcana.
I initiated the set-up, which first asked me to turn on CEC on my “TV” (in this case projector). Fortunately my projector has the option to turn on CEC. However, the next part asks me to enable Audio Out on my “TV,” and here is where I’m currently hung up. I can find no Audio Out option on my projector. I can’t complete the step without it.
It’s got an audio jack for connecting other speakers or headphones, which doesn’t help me with the Sonos.
I am told that if I can manage to complete this set-up process, even if initially not with my projector, I can later connect with my projector without having to go through that set-up again. Is this true? If I find a friend who has a TV that can go through this set-up process, might I then be able to use the Arc with the projector? Is there some other way to get past this?
I have one shot at showing my fiancée Star Wars for the first time, and I want to make it awesome!
I sincerely appreciate any help you can give!
