Home theater

Hello, Setting up a Playbar to my LG OLED C8.  I read the configurations and was able to get the magic remote to be recognized and both mute and increase volume worked.  However, even though volume recognizes on screen that I am pushing to lower volume, no changes are made on the Playbar.  Thus, volume can be increased but not decreased. Only on the Playbar itself only volume be done manually lowered.   Let me know if anyone has experienced this and what ideas to fix.  I am using Optical out configuration. However, back to using only the TV speakers until this can be resolved. Mahalos,Ryan

I have changed my tv and before I used to be able to control the surround sound setup by one slide control, now it seems to be in 2. The paired speakers and then the beam and sub. Also it mentions on the help part of the app to setup by selecting home theatre, I cannot find that on the app.

I currently have a 5.1 Surround setup in my basement with Playbase, 2 Play 5 and a sub at the front.  Is it possible to add another sub in the back?  If not, is this something Sonos can add in the setup.  I’m not sure what the limitations are from a technical standpoint.

Just had a Samsung Q90T delivered & started reading about all the discrepancies between the Sonos arc & this Tv, with Dolby atmos not working & sound cutting out intermittently. Do I return it before I open it for an LG OLED GX or not ?

Optical out from TV is going into Playbar. Rear channels and all other zones play audio from TV, but not Playbar. With the amount of money I’ve spent on Sonos, and the amount of issues I have, I’m starting to think I would have been better off with Russound or Nuvo. Any suggestions to remedy the issue? Obviously the Playbar is passing audio to the other speakers, but not playing itself. I’ve had this issue intermittently for over a year. Diagnostic confirmation number: 2014974235

So, I have returned a bunch of Bluesound equipment and switched it all to Sonos.  One room has an Arc, Sub and surround set up and I would like to attache the Arc to a MantelMount MM540.  Had the Bluesound soundbar on their initially (which came with some mounting brackets/wings), and I am wondering if I need something special to place the Arc on there.  Looks like is will just screw right in and not sit to far underneath the television (OLED and pretty thin) so as to not block any of the speakers.  

Hello, my series one x is getting delivered tomorrow, I am currently using a one x hooked up to my playbar, there is audio lag when I hook up my playbar to my tv via optical cable and my one x is hooked up to the tv via hdmi, the lag is eliminated when I hook the playbar up to the xbox directly with the optical cable, but the series one x doesn't have an optical port, has anybody run into any issues like this or have any solutions?

Hi just a quick question;I own a SONOS Arc.I’m thinking about upgrading my tv to Philips OLED804 (or 805). These tv’s dont have eARC.Will I be able to get ATMOS sounds?Furthermore, if I connect an AppleTV 4K to the Philips… does that send an ATMOS signal thru my TV to the SONOS Arc???Also any thought on lip sync issues on this combination?Would like to know before spending a lot of money. Thanks for the input!

Hi guys, A few months ago, noticed the sound bar would not play sound for YouTube videos that were showing “dobly digital 1.0” in the system info section of the play bar.  Anyone noticed this?  For example:  anyone else with this issue on their sound bar? thanks guys.

Hi, I have Apple TV, LG c9 and updated my arc but I am still only getting 2.0 on 5.1 content such as Netflix when the Apple TV is set to auto? The atmos works ok but why am I still not gettting 5.1? I thought the lpcm update would solve this? many thanks, dan

Bonjour, Je souhaiterai changer mon système Home Cinema par une barre son Sonos, j’ai déjà 2 play 1 et 2 Move. Est ce que je peux me servir des Move pour faire du 5.1 avec la barre Beam ? MerciJuan

currently have a Beam. In general love the sound but lacking in stage width. Don't wanna spend $$ on Arc and have no use for Beam plus Arc is a more expensive solution.What if I mount two Ones on both sides of 65" tv and keep Beam in center? What would be the effect? Would Beam serve as a center? Am I sacrificing Beam capabilities or enhancing on them? Would I have to mount Ones same height as Beam or can I use ear level height?And last question - would there be cleaner bass at all in the above setup option or would I have to invest in sub for that? Right now problematic as I am in an appartment.BTW - please no surround suggestions as I cannot place the Ones in the rear.Thanks!

I am seeking advice on audio settings on my Panasonic TV and Panasonic UB900 player in order to prevent lip sync delay but still retain 5.0 sound.  

Up until today I had an Xbox One X and outputted sound via Xbox optical into the Sonos Playbase (set up as 5.1). Today I upgraded to the Xbox Series X not realising they had done away with the Optical out. My TV doesn't do pass through HDMI so I can't output the Xbox to my TV in 5.1 and then back out of the TV via optical. I can't only do this in stereo 2.0, which is what I'm doing for now. I think my solution needs to be some kind of split box that allows me to split the HDMI cable into HDMI and optical. The problem being as the Xbox uses HDMI 2.1 for 4K 120hz, I need a switch that can do this for me....or at the very least 4k 60hz for now.....but also HDR as well. Anyone successfully done this? I don't want to upgrade to Sonos Arc as this means I need a new TV. Any help appreciated.

Maybe someone might know if the Q80T volume display is still shown on volume changes when connected to an Arc? Thanks, Carl

I’d like to order the new sonos arc and pair it with my LG oled C8PUA.   it seems LG is not going to update these tvs to the eArc standard (bums).  What exactly does that mean?  Im i just throwing money away here?  I’d live to get a good solid Dolby atmos surround sound system going.  Will the experience be any good?  I’m not a super audiophile- but i do live a great sounding movie.  I mostly watch from Netflix/amazon.   thanks!

Getting a new Sony X950H delivered in a couple of weeks. I also ordered a new Arc soundbar. I know that I will be ok for Atmos playback, but what about DTS?  I know that the Arc does not support it, but there are some work around options. I have not picked up a 4K blu ray player yet, so any suggestions that will help with DTS playback, I am open to. Also, I will have access to a PS4 Pro shortly because my son is getting the PS5, will that solve my issue? Thanks in advance.  

Dear all , i have noticed when I play Dolby atoms with Netflix with my system (Sonos arc, sub and two Sonos one) the sound cut for 1 second and that happens quick often. sonuoubhave any advice to fix this issue? thank you

Hi everyone,Recently purchased a Beam and two One SL's which I understand are rear speakers.My living room is pretty small so there aren't many ways I can position the rears. Attached is a photo. Could I just place them on the bookshelf beside each other? I don't know how far apart they have to stand. The shelf I am planning on placing them is more or less on ear height, a bit higher.Any input is appreciated!Cheers,PP 

I need an advice on building a home theater system with Dolby Atmos support... I'm planning to use Apple TV (gen 5) as a source of AV-signal to my Denon AVR-S950H receiver. It has two HDMI HDCP 2.2 outputs with eARC support. I want to use one of them to connect a projector and the second one to connect Sonos Arc. All components support Dolby Atmos and theoretically everything should work, but I'm not sure about that... Does anyone have any thoughts on whether Dolby Atmos will work in this type of configuration?

If I group Sonos Move with my Sonos One and my Sonos One SL speakers (total 3 Sonos Speakers Group) would I be able to play audio at unison on all 3 Sonos Speakers group if I play my music or audio via Bluetooth connection on Sonos Move? In other words, would Sonos Move Bluetooth connection allow me to feed music via Bluetooth from any device (phone or tv Bluetooth Audio) and have the sound playing on all 3 Sonos Speaker Group the same way I would be able to play audio on a Sonos Five grouped with 2 Other Sonos One speakers when Sonos Five is receiving audio via 3.5mm input connector?I’m simply trying to create the most affordable Sonos Sound System Grouping to play audio from my phone or tv via Bluetooth instead of the more expensive Sonos Five 3.5mm input connector.

Will blu-ray discs played on a PS5 work with the Sonos Arc and an LG CX? Is there a DTS decoding issue at hand here?

Hi, How do you connect back to the TV sound through the Sonos app, after it connects to radio, Spotify etc?Only way I can seem to do it is turn my TV off and back on.
