Home theater

i want to change the volume of the Sonos Beam with my fire tv remote. I don’t see an option to do this although I do see the option for the Playbar. Anyone know how do set this up?

What is the Beam’s IR profile number?

Hello, I’m searching for a 4K Ultra HD blu ray player THAT SUPPORT BOTH HDR10 AND DOLBY VISION that can convert DTS audio to Dolby Digital 5.1 on the fly. Now I’m using the Xbox One X that can convert audio correctly, but that support HDR10 only. For sure I L le that new LG UP970 that can manage Dolby Vision, cannot convert audio. Oppo is too much expensive for me Thanks

Short: Looking to enhance the sound in my back (L/R) speakers more specifically the dialog. Sort of, like you can with the Music under 'Room Settings>[Room]>Advanced Audio>Surround Settings>Music Playback'. Long: Sonos 5.1 - Playbar, Sub, and x2 Play:1. TV: Samsung UN55KU6290 (6 series 4K; yes its a 'black Friday tv'..) TV Audio Format: 'Dolby Digital' Sonos App Audio In: 'Dolby Digital 5.1' Sonos 'TV Level': 3/4 to max Decided to go wireless so I got rid of my older Pioneer system (which was great) and went with Sonos. Mainly got Sonos because they connected to my Smart Home and secondly I heard the speakers individually prior to purchasing and they were great. **One of the things I noticed immediately after setting up my new system, was that when I watched something on Netflix (TV app) the dialog only comes through the Playbar and very little sound comes through the back speakers (music and some ambient noises). When I first installed my Pioneer system it did the sam

Hi, I'd love advice on the best audio setup for my home theater. It consists of: - Apple TV 4K - LG C8 TV - Sonos Playbar + Sonos PLAY:5 for rear surrounds Questions I had: 1. For the Apple TV, is "Dolby Digital 5.1" the right setting for Audio Format? I thought it should be "Auto / Dolby Atmos," but that results in the TV outputting just stereo to the Playbar. 2. For some reason, the LG Smart TV YouTube TV app outputs Dolby Digital 2.0, and the ATV 4K YouTube TV app outputs Stereo. Any idea why this would be happening? Are there other differences in audio format between LG and Apple TV apps? Thanks!

Just bought a new Beam and trying to connect it to the TV Arc port. When I connect the HDMI cable and then search for the Arc receiver on my Samsung TV it says it can’t connect. I’m trying to connect to a Samsung F9000 UHD TV, I have confirmed the Arc receiver is turned on on the TV, however it doesn’t connect. I have also tried changing the TV speaker setting to ‘receiver’ which is supposed to be the Arc supported device and ‘external speakers’ yet Beam will not connect. Don’t know if it’s a Beam issue, TV issue, or cable issue, if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have two Play:1 speakers and an Apple TV and would like to purchase a projector to use as my TV. Can you please recommend any HD projectors that I can use as my TV that will be compatible with with any of the Sonos products that will allow me to connect to apple TV (Play:5, Beam, or Playbar)?

Need help. I have a Sharp Aqus and am using the optical connections. I think I just need the basic setup to work and can’t find it anywhere.

Would anybody know why I can turn ON my tv using the Beam with Alexa but can’t turn it back off using the voice commands?

Hi I have a Sony 7.2 receiver and a Sony TV. I have home speakers connected to receiver in 2 zones (living room and patio). i ma planning to buy a Behringer 1202 mixer and connect it via the AMP (planning to buy) to the Sony receiver. Not sure how I can then get the sound via Bheringer microphone to Sonos one and play 5. Also want to pair my Sonos one and play5 with patio speakers . How can i achieve these?

Is there any benefit to the short orientation versus the tall (wall) orientation with regards to one providing better sound?

Hello All, I know this has been talked about before, but I still have not found anyone (sonos or user) who has come up with a definitive solution to dialog issues when using the playbar for movies and TV shows. I have a Sonos playbar, Sub, and 2 Sonos one's in my living room to have a surround sound set up. When watching movies or TV shows, the dialog is almost always very difficult to understand, music is just fine, but not movies and tv shows. I have tried both speech enhancement and night mode features, but these do not improve dialog clarity whatsoever. I have verified that my TV is putting out the right source to the sonos system. It is not as matter of how loud the sound is, it is simply not easy to understand what is being said. I have also encountered the seemingly common issue where dialog is very quiet but other sounds, ambient noise in movies, explosions, background sounds, etc. are very loud and you can't hear what is being said, so you are constantly playing with

My Sony Bravia has an IR Blaster port but the cable with the Sony Beam doesn't fit it, how do I connect the Beam to the TV, also then to the Connect in the same room with ceiling speakers? Thanks

So I tried to play a song from my sonos app and the app said it was unable to find sonos on my wifi. I restarted my router. Same issue. I reset my router. Same issue. Alexa on my Sonos had suddenly acquired an american accent and instantly says "sorry, im having trouble understanding right now". I set up my surround sound again (for the recoird i have two sonos ones and beam) and it still doesn't work - again blaming the wifi. THIS. IS. NOT. DOWN. TO. MY. WIFI. And its frustrating that the app keeps doing this. This is the second time this has happened. Can someone advise, because I'm on the verge of just selling these speakers.

When watching movies using my sonos surround system (Beam + 2 Play 1s) the music coming from the 2 surrounds over powers the center channel, the Beam. Is there a way to make the beam (center channel) louder than the surrounds.

I just bought a BenQ HT2050A 1080P Home Theater Projector with HDMI ports and was wondering how I could hook up my PLAY 1 (1st generation) to it. Is it possible? Do I need to purchase additional input/output cables or accessories to achieve this?

Hello community, would really really appreciate your help with this. Recently got the Onkyo TX-NR686 because it "works with Sonos." I have 4 Klipsch speakers installed in my ceiling and a Klipsch subwoofer (all hard-wired). When I did a test through the Onkyo receiver, there is sound running through all the channels. However, I hooked it up to a Sonos Connect Amp, and when I try to hook it up with my Sonos app on my phone, NOTHING happens. I will say that it does seem like the Sonos Connect Amp "Sees" my phone, because if I try to play a music track, and hit pause on the Sonos Connect Amp, it does pause it on my phone. I have the Sonos Connect Amp connected to the Onkyo via RCA. There's clearly something wrong here. I have it going into the correct outputs as I saw in this video, but still not working. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFFPJp8yFhg) Then, I installed the Beam - which I plan on using as my center channel... and it made me put that into a separate room.. but yeah, t

Hi everyone, I noticed that there is a big thread on LG tv's and audio sync issues. audio later than video. I have the same problem with my Samsung Q9FN as well to my Beam. Can sum it up that if I just pump out PCM stereo...no issues. Any form of 5.1 (Bitstream or PCM), then the problems start. I've got an Apple TV 4k, an Nvidia shield as well..both having same problems. The shield is probably a bit better though and if I use plex, i've got it down to a minimum. I'm probably going to get told that it's the t.v...which is fine (well, it's not really but if it is the problem, then it is). Anyone had similar issues and resolved at all? thnx.

Hi All I've purchased a Beam along with a Flexson Adjustable Mount which allow mounting of the Beam upside down, eg, under a kitchen cabinet. Does anyone know how to configure it so that the left and right channels are swapped for correct stereo. It doesn't appear to happen automatically. Thanks

Yes I have read many other topics and comments regarding 5.1 setup and yes I understand that a Beam/Playbar/Playbase is designed as a 3.0 speaker. BUT I honestly don't understand why I can't add 2 additional speakers, e.g. Play 5 as an additional stereo pair. I own a Playbase and a SUB (and 2 Play 1 as surround speakers). The Playbase is so smart, it has appropriate software, that it detects that a SUB has been added and reduces the bass and/or concentrates on the mid tones. The same could work with 2 additional speakers in the front area, so that the Playbase becomes a real center. Yes, I also understand that something similar might work by grouping. But that's not a real 5.1, where the signals are split accordingly. Apart from the inconsistency that results from the different latencies of the loudspeakers. With HDMI ARC (e.g. with the Beam), longer latencies shouldn't be a problem anymore, as the SONOS speakers can take enough time to buffer or process the signal and communica

Anyone know where I can go online to stream a 5.1 Audio test? I have found videos on YouTube but in-spite of them claiming to be multi-channel Youtube seems to spit them out in stereo. Well at least on my system.

Does this play the sound in sonos play 1 from rhe TV? Thank you in advance.

Rear speaker positioning for a 5.1 setup. Should the rear speakers be facing in towards the room or straight ahead? When I have them forward facing, I barely hear anything 'behind' me. When I angle them in towards my ears, it is much more immersive. I have true-tuned the room.
