Connecting Arc to Rear Projector?

5 replies
504 views

I have a BenQ HT2050A digital projector that will be mounted in the back of room projecting onto a wall. I have the Sonos Arc, subwoofer, and two of 1 SL speakers. The plan is also to run, cable box, Apple TV, and Nintendo Switch to the projector. So how do you connect all this and use the wireless feature of Sonos? Is that possible? I have done some research on buying a receiver and they can be pretty pricey. Is that what I need to do or is there another option to make this work? Thanks.

That projector doesn’t have ARC. Get an HDFury Arcana and an HDMI switch.

Wire the sources to the switch.

Wire the switch to the Arcana.

Wire Arcana’s eARC port to the Sonos Arc, and its HDMI output to your projector.

Does your projector have HDMI ARC or an optical out port?

I don’t know if it has HDMI ARC? It has two HDMI outlets. I does not have optical out port.
