Home theater

I've just bought a Beam v and my TV has the choice of sending out Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus (I know the beam won't do plus) On either setting the Sonos app is reporting Dolby DigItal 5:1 from the TV. My question is should I choose to output Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus on the TV? Or will it make no difference? Thanks

We purchased a Sonos Arc to connect to an Asus laptop. The plan is to project the pictures through a projector and play the sound through the Arc. When I connected them with an HDMI cable it didn’t work. I googled it and the problem seems to be that I need an HDMI Arc output (which the laptop doesn’t have). I phoned Sonos and they suggested that I should post the problem on here to see if anyone has found a solution. An option could be to get an HDMI to HDMI ARC adaptor but I’m not sure if this would work. Another option could be to return the Arc and replace it with a different product. Ideally we want something that can be wall mounted next to the projector rather than an amp and speakers.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Al

So I have a Sonos Amp plugged into my LG CX and whenever I wake the system up with my Apple TV 4K i notice that the volume buttons on my ATV4K remote don’t change the volume on my Amp. If I go to the settings on my ATV4K and change them from IR back to HDMI control the Amp will light up green and recognize it. I have TV auto play set to on. Anyone know why the Amp would have trouble? It worked fine with my Beam every time.

First off, I am a novice when it comes to AV systems, etc. I just moved into a new house with a large wall mounted Samsung TV and a Sonos Playbar.  There are 2 wired speakers (currently not in use) in the ceiling in the back end of our TV viewing area.  There are also have 2 wired speakers outside.  I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V6A Reciever, thinking I could run ALL of my speakers through it. I thought I could run the TV, Sonos Playbar and rear ceiling speakers on one Zone of the receiver, and my outdoor speakers on the other zone. I have recently been told that the Sonos Playbar will not work with this set up.  Is this true, and if so, is there a work around to make it all work?

I have a sonos arc connected to lg tv (55eg910t) and the sound keeps cutting out. Diagnostic : 498873873

I tried to use my remote to change the volume level, but the remote volume control no longer works at the distance from my chair (10 ft).  If I move about 3 ft from the playbar, it works.  I changed the batteries twice, but still can not adjust the volume or mute unless I'm about 3 ft from the playbar.  Nothing changed (room, furniture. equipment etc).  The light on the playbar only flashes when I'm at a close range.  The TV (Samsung Smart TV) does show an icon when I press the volume control, but the playbar does not.  I then re-ran the remote control setup.  During the process  I needed to be close to the playbar in order for the app to recognize the buttons being pressed.  After running the remote setup, I still needed to be close to the playbar and could not use the remote from my chair. Please help.

Hey all, my Arc was delivered this morning and I've had a chance to hook it up to my LG C9 directly via eARC and ran a few tests regarding Atmos and other features. Built in apps: Netflix - Reporting Dolby Atmos (DD+) for Atmos content. Disney+ - Reporting Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 (though this is likely due to the current throttling taking place in the EU) Amazon Prime - Reporting Dolby Atmos (DD+) for Atmos content. Xbox One: HDMI Audio set to Bitstream out and Bistream Format set to Dolby Atmos has no delay, finally! Displays Dolby Atmos in Sonos app. PS4: Like with the Xbox, there's no delay on Bitstream HDMI audio NVidia Shield Pro: Netflix - Reporting Dolby Atmos (DD+) for Atmos content. Amazon Prime - Reporting Dolby Atmos (DD+) for Atmos content. Disney+ - Reporting Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 (though this is likely due to the current throttling taking place in the EU). After connecting up to a US VPN it's reporting Dolby Atmos (DD+) for Atmos con

I am having problems with my Sonos Sub (G1) range.  My Sonos AMPs are in a separate AV room and will not connect to the Sub reliably. If I move it about 5 meters closer it will connect.  Was wondering if buying a G3 sub would help - is the range much better?

can a hdmi spltter be used to split input to sonos arc from either tv or projecter

My arc should arrive Monday or Tuesday of this upcoming week.  Currently I have a playbar and a gen 2 sub and two gen 1 play 1s.  When setting up the Arc would be it best best to just remove the playbar and install the arc or remove verything (playbar, sub, and play 1s) and start from scratch? Thanks for any help.

I have the following components connected to my home theater:Sonos Amp Sonos soundbar Left and Right rear speakers Non-SonosI would like to connect a Non-sono sub woofer through the Sonos Amp sub woofer port.  I plugged in the subwoofer but I am not hearing any boom boom when I put stars wars on the home theater?

I wanted to revist my Sonos Amp setup vs my Sonos Arc setup, and give you guys a few thoughts. I posted a few days ago comparing some initial thoughts vs the Beam, Playbar and Amp, and I had a few more thoughts on the Amp vs Arc specifically.   Setup 1: Sonos Amp Rel Sub BW 685 Speakers Sonos Play:1 left and right Connected via Optical Adapter (HDMI Arc makes the Rel Sub hum)   Setup 2: Sonos Arc Sonos Sub Play One left and Right   A few quick notes on some questions people may have:   1.) Is the Arc worth it over the Beam and Playbar? I think it is, especially considering it will be around for years. It has noticeable improvements vs both. Beam Vs Playbar depends on your room size, but Arc vs everything else is more clear for me because the Arc has in general a better sound, sound stage, and atmos.   2.) Do you need to add a Sub or rear speakers? a.) If you have to choose, I'd add the rear speakers first, they will get you more of a surround sound experience in movi

I have a roku TV with e arc... I have the beam and want to add 2 Sonos one speakers for surround. My question is will my roku remote adjust the volume simultaneously on both the beam and the Sonos ones?...or do I have to use the Sonos app to adjust the speaker volume in unison? 

My Bean has been experiences intermittent drops in audio ever since upgrading to the S2 app. I have troubleshooted this several different ways.  - Moved a One immediately next to it connected to same WiFi (both on static IP) on same power socket. One continuous to play fine without problems while the beam is cutting out intermittently. - Power cycled both the beam and the router to try to fix. - All on the latest firmware. - Both using Airplay to play to it without grouping on Sonos APP still doesn’t solve it. Grouping on Sonos App and playing through the app is the same problem.- Playing just through the Beam still cutting out.  At this point I’m out of ideas of how to fix or troubleshoot. It was working fine with no problems until I updated to the S2 app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello. My sonos arc recently stopped show its splash/video output. I have Samsung qled Q75R. Previously had similar issue but rebooting arc(power cycle) fixes issue, but now nothing helps. Hdmi cable is fine. Sound also works. 

I have a Sonos beam and an an Philips ambilight TV. Recently, despite TV being off a few seconds of sound comes out of the beam. This is also now happening when I play Sonos radio or Apple Music from the Sonos app through the beam 

Hi all, recently purchased a Sub to pair with a playbase and x2 play1s. EQ needed for movies is very different to music. Its a real pain having to change Sub levels, surround speaker volume and EQ settings for each use.Any work around for this?I don’t see why this wouldn’t be apart of existng app..

I have an Arc and 2x one's that I have connected to a surround set-up. Working fine. What I am looking for is the option, on occasion, to place one of the One's in a separate room, and still have the same audio coming from my tv playing at the proper volume capability the One can do, instead of the 'surround' setting. Therefore, to put it basically, how can I set it so my Arc and 2x One's are playing the audio all at a normal level, and not at the 'surround' set-up (sorry if that's bloody confusing)

All,I have a problem when watching Two and a Half Men on Amazon.  I am using 2 Sonos AMP with in-ceiling speakers set up as surround.  The show plays in Dolby 2.0 and there is an echo when people are talking. It goes away if I switch off surround. It also goes away when playing the show on Apple TV which I have set up to upscale audio to Dolby 5.1.  My tv is an LG GX.  Any ideas?

Does the Beam require an ethernet connection so that it can connect to a Sonos Amplifier for surround sound?  I am attempting to connect the 2 and it is telling me that the Beam needs an ethernet connect.  I had a guy from Geek Squad here and they told me it was not required.   Thanks,   Pete 

Dear all, I bought Sonos arc and 2 sl one speakers. I am not sure that I’m getting Dolby atmos, which is the main reason I wanted the system. I was reading all those reviews describing how planes are flying on top of your head and that you can hear sound in the air in the middle of living room. I have nothing of that. I have a few drops of rain and other occasional sounds coming from my rear speakers but apart from that I wouldn’t tell the difference between my TV speaker and Sonos system. I have Netflix Ultra HD and LG webOS TV UH603VI think the reason is TV is not supporting Dolby Atmos. Please find att photo where it shows the TV output where Sonos Arc is connected. It says Optical Digital Audio OUT. Is it Dolby atmos output or not? Also on other photo in Sonos System Info AUDIO IN is Dolby digital 5.0 is it Dolby atmos?I would appreciate any help, advise and suggestions 🙏🙏🙏 

Do I need any special hdmi lead to use atmos ?

https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/sanus-tv-mount-beam.html. Will this mount work with an 85 inch Sony TV? I am concerned that because of the size of the TV, it will not extend down low enough so that the speaker will clear the bottom of the TV. Thanks in advance.
