Home theater

Hvorfor bliver der bare ved og ved med at være så laaaang ventetid på arc’en!? Det er sq da ikke imponerende! 😴

I CANT SEEM TO GET SONOS ARC DOLBY ATMOS TO WORK ON MY LG CX 55 OLED! Whenever SONO ARC isn't connected to my TV, the ATMOS works but it doesn't work while connected.I've tried everything far as in switching sound mode to HDMI ARC. Putting Digital Sound Out to PASSTHROUGH & I also tried AUTO.I've tried enabling eARC in my TV settings. I even bought a Ultra High Speed HDMI cord from best buy.I've tested Disney+ content that supports ATMOS but still isn't showing any signs of ATMOS on my SONOS ARC. I also tried some Netflix content and yes I do have premium but still failed.On the SONOS app it shows that I'm watching ATMOS content but I'm not getting any signs of it.Here's a quick video of my problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13mzPM1FALrFwew7DDKWFdHLJGceP0zsa/view?usp=drivesdk

Just got the Beam yesterday. Playing soft classical piano and sometimes during a movie there is a fuzzy distortion on the high notes. Is this a hardware issue?

HiI think this LPCM update just completely screwed me up with my small collection of blurays with DTS. I have an LG CX that cannot passthrough DTS I play my blurays on an oppo203 player, before the update I would get stereo 2.0 with its blurays, player was set to bitstream. Since new update I cannot get any audio at all, I tried all the audio settings on the 203, Bitstream, auto and LPCM.I don’t understand where the issue lies.

I have Sonos ceiling speakers for rear surround sound and I’m wondering if wall mounting an arc above or below a TV makes a difference? Also is there a distance from the ceiling it should be mounted at? 

I need to purchase the adapter cable that has HDMI and optical input that the beam system brings

I have a Beam, Sub and two play 1s connected via Hdmi Arc to Sony KD49XF90. The system works perfectly every day until exactly 3 minutes after midnight, then switches to the internal TV speakers. I've seen a few similar posts in the forum but nothing about the time of day affecting the connection. I assume it's something to do with a setting somewhere, but after trying loads of different things, it still switches without fail. Any help would be appreciared.

Can the Sonos Arc be mounted flush with the bottom of the tv if the top speaker grill is in front of the tv? I am assuming if the speaker grill clears the front of the tv the upfireing speakers should be fine. If not, how low is needed so that Dolby Atmos will sound good. 

Have the sonos arc plugged into the tv using eARC and I’m having an issue with it not responding to volume control from the cable or TV remote. I also have it connected to gen 3 sub and 2 play one SL. If I’m watching tv on my Sony Bravia X850G for a long period of time and need to adjust the volume, it won’t respond. The volume indicator will show on the screen but actual sound won’t increase/decrease. I have to power cycle the tv and wait about 5 min to turn it on for it to be able to control the volume. Is this an issue with my tv or the arc itself? Had the playbar before the arc and it never did this. 

Hi all,I’ve just got a Beam, and have connected it to the TV via HDMI. All working well, and the app shows I’m sending a Dolby Digital 5.1 signal when the source has one.I’ve added two Symfonisk bookshelf speakers as a rear pair for surround sound. These setup successfully, but then I hear nothing from either speaker.I’ve tried recreating the surround links, checking audio input settings, but nothing seems to make the speakers output sound.Any ideas?

Is it possible to connect both my Sonos Beam and two hard wired speakers to my Amp for surround sound purposes whilst at the same time using the same Amp to connect to 2 separate hard wired speakers (just to play music through them but not wanting them to play the surround sound from the tv)? Or does they require 2 Amps?

Hi All,I have Sonos everywhere, but have recently (1 week ago) upgraded my old Playbar to the new Arc soundbar. I am using it with a Gen 1 Sub.It’s connected via the eARC HDMI port to a brand new 2020 LG CX 65” TV, which passes ATMOS with no problem.Now the ….sometimes the Arc seems to ramp its own volume down to zero. It takes a few seconds to do it, and if I turn it back up, it does it again. This will affect all sources (Sky set top box, Amazon Fire box and Xbox Series . The only way to stop it is to pull the power cord and reboot. Then it seems to work fine….for a day or so before exhibiting the same behaviour.Any ideas what is going on? (Edited to say - nobody is using Alexa when this happens)I am also not noticing much in the way of “surround” sound from the Arc. Even using Netflix or Disney+ sources with Dolby Vision and Atmos soundtracks I really don't hear much if anything to the sides or top. I was expecting more…..This leads me to think something is wrong - but the app does

To all Sonos experts out there! Long post alert and newbie question here -- I would like to know any possible tweaks or practical upgrades on how to improve my sonos experience --  I have the following set up: Room 1:- LG TV- Sonos Arc- Sonos Sub- 2 Play 1 as rear surrounds Room 2: (Room acoustics is not ideal)- Turntable- Sonos Amp (powers the 2 floorstanding Jamo E470 speakers)- Play 5 (as center)- 2 Play 1 as rear surrounds My issues are:1. I would like to improve my vinyl (2 channel) listening experience as the clarity of instruments is not there. I'm only 60% satisfied with the Sonos Amp. It is ok when I play vinyl with the surround sound on both rooms or one.2. But when I play Hi-Res, 24 bit music on youtube coming from Room 1 - my experience is a bit better in both areas. The quality and the listening experience is not exhaustive, even if you increase the volume a little bit.3. I just love to enjoy my vinyl just like the way I listened to hi-res music but I don't know how... Wha

Hello guys! This is my first post so forgive anything which may seem a little out of place for the forum.Okay this is my setup:Sonos Arc, One SL (2), Sonos Sub (Gen3), Denon AVC-X3700H.I have quite a number of HDMI devices such as Blu-ray DVD player, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Sky etc hence my need for the AV receiver. I’ve connected the Sonos Arc directly to my Panasonic TX-55HZ1500B which support eARC on all it’s four ports which are currently enabled. After connecting these to the receiver, I’m only able to use the receiver when it’s off else the Sonos system doesn’t produce ANY sound whatsoever! Funny story is, I’m still able to use the receiver to switch between devices while it’s off and it gives the correct resolution such as UHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Vision etc for the devices that support those.My first attempt to connect them found that it all worked together while the receiver was on but after needed to switch the systems off completely, the whole thing fell apart! I

I’m setting up a home theater in a rectangular basement room that’s about 25-30 feet long.  I’ll be using an Arc, sub, and two One SLs.  The home theater setup only takes up about 15 feet of the room, so there’s 10-15 feet of open space behind the rear surrounds. Here’s my question: when I do the TruePlay setup, where it wants me to walk around the room waving my iPad or phone, should I walk around only within the 15 feet of the home theater area that ends with the rear surrounds, or should I also cover the 10-15 feet of empty space behind them in the room? 

I have a LG CX and the Sonos Arc, connected via eARC and a suitable HDMI cable. On Netflix, if I change the TV audio settings to Passthrough, the Sonos app is showing me Dolby Atmos (DD+) in the “About my system” section. However, if I change the TV audio settings to Auto, the Sonos app is showing me only Dolby Atmos. Without the DD+. Can someone explain to me if there is a difference here, and if so, what setting gives the better audio quality? Thanks a lot!

Hello all. My Play One rears have started fairly regularly echoing on TV playback after more than two years of ownership. I have changed nothing in terms of hardware: same Playbase, same Sony 4K Android TV, same BT Home Hub 6 and BT TV 4K PVR. I am 100% certain it's not the TV speakers kicking in as when I turn the surrounds off through the app, the echoing stops and doesn't return when I turn surrounds back on. Then, after a short while which could be minutes, hours or even days, the echoing will occur again. Any help would be appreciated. Regards. Barry ☺️ 

Is the combination of Arc, Play One and Five possible? I’m currently running the current standard; an Arc (2) Play One and sub, I love my set up, sounds great but I’d also like to grow it a bit more by adding  a pair of Fives (considering I have a Five is a spare bedroom that gets little to no use...)  

HiAs title, does the sonos arc and sub gen 3 support 5ghz wifi?If they do can someone explain how I would switch to this, currently have both setup on the 2.4ghz wifi, Im sure I read that the gen 3 sub supports 5ghz, so presumed the ARC would as well. Thanks

I just got the Sonos Arc. Is there a way to change bass/treble/etc? I do not see an Equalizer menu in my Sonos app..this is my first Sonos device, so no other pairings for now

Hi all,I’ve just purchased the Sonos Amp and a pair of B&W 607 S2 Anniversary’s for front speakers.  I’m ok with that for now but would consider adding a pair of rears at some stage.  My understanding is that the Amp that is driving the B&Ws can also send rear signals to rears as long as they have their own amplification.However, my preference would be for the rears for be completely wireless and the Move doesn’t support surround sound.  Will the Sonos Amp send rear signals to any other wireless speakers such as the Bluesound Pulse’s?

I’d like to pull the trigger on an Arc, upgrading from a Playbar, but am terrified it will screw everything up.  We have a large Sonos system still on S1 due to a Connect and some Play5 Gen 1s.  I’d be happy to take the step up to the Arc, and go S2, but reading conflicting reports about compatability with my QE65Q80R.  If I take the leap there’s no going back, and it might be a total waste of time, money etc.  

I understand that music playback sounds better when one sets their surrounds to “full” rather than the default “ambient” but it is not as good as stereo.I do my primary music listening in the same room that I do my television viewing. I want to be able to have my surrounds play in stereo when I’m listening to music and then, of course, take care of surround duties when I’m watching TV; I’d rather not buy a separate pair of speakers for only music in this room. What I really want is to upgrade to a pair of Fives and add the Sub, but I won’t as long as I have to go through the hassle of breaking up the grouping with the sound bar and then re-grouping to watch TV. When I had my traditional home theater set up I didn’t have to suffer with mono sound when I listened to music.When Sonos updated the app, I thought this would be fixed. Alas not. I know that what I want is not possible, but I would really appreciate it if Sonos could explain why it is not possible.

It’s well known in these circles that the Beam, Playbar and Playbase won’t play DTS soundtracks, and the best we can hope for in this situation is a down-mixed stereo output.  I’ve also read that Blu-ray players that convert DTS to DD on the fly are like hens teeth - the lists I’ve seen a contain a few Samsung and Oppo players only. So, how come I’m getting DD5.1 out of my Beam (reported by the app, and by my ears) from plain DTS and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks? My setup is: Sony UBP-M800 Mk2 UHD bluray player Sony AG9 TV Beam connected via the TV’s eARC connection Sub and Play:1 rears bonded to Beam There’s no fancy trickery or other boxes, switches, etc.  It’s simply bluray player to TV to Beam, all via HDMI. To get sound from the Beam, I had to make one change to the M800’s audio settings:  “Digital Audio Output” = PCM.  The other option (“Auto” = bitstream in most cases I believe) gives silence.  All other audio settings on the player (and there aren’t many) are at the default.

Hi,if I set No SUB by app in a 5.1 setup with DD 5.1 stream the .1 channel will redirect to L and R speakers? Thanks
