I'm trying to set up a playable with a LG OLED & a magic remote. In the app when asked to press TV then Remote Set Up there is no 'Remote Set Up' button

Hi, I have a Sonos Beam, Sky Q & a Panasonic FX700B 2018 TV and I am having trouble with Lip sync. I am connecting to the HDMI Arc port but in "Normal" sound on the Sky Q box it is slightly delayed, BUT when selecting Dolby 5.1 output on the sky Q box the lip sync is terrible. No selectable delays either on the Sonos app or sky Q work because the video is first i.e the audio is already delayed. Panasonic have said the delay is caused by Sonos not processing the sound quicker enough and Sky say contact Sonos and/or Panasonic. I have tried it via optical cable and the lip sync still occurs so it is not going via the TV at all. Is there anyway to increase the processing of the sound. I don't want to loose arc functionality and I don't want to set anything to PCM because I got the Sonos beam for the sound quality and was going to set it up with my Sonos ones to try and obtain 5.0. Any help will be appreciated as it is driving me mad and my investment seems like it is a waste. I love So

Hi, I’ve got a Beam and two Ones as rear speakers and would like a sub but can’t justify both the spend and the space required for the only Sonos sub offering. Is a smaller Sub out of the question? Thanks.

Hi I have recently experienced some popping sounds from the sub. It comes and goes and usually when the music is rather bass heavy (like The Weeknd). It's a deep popping sound that when it's really bad comes right after each other. I have a theory about it coming when the internet bandwidth is low (when others in the household is watching Netflix for example). But I really don't know.

Hi, I'm planning to get a Sonos Amp and connect it to a TV using the optical audio adapter. Will I be able to control the sound level using the infrared TV remote? Thanks, Regards

Hi just got a sonos beam. Very satisfied but one thing is very strange. Connected via hdmi arc to my Samsung tv, a ue55ju7005 from 2015. Run with Apple TV into tv to watch tv and more. But since I connected the beam, it is not possible to start tv via hdmi cec. Thus, pressing the home button on the Apple TV remote. Can start via tv remote. Once the tv is up and running it works ok. Can also turn off TV via Apple TV. Tested to connect via the adapter for optical which came with the beam and then it did work to start tv via the appleremoten? Have also been in contact with samsung support and they "zeroed" HDMI ports but that made no difference. Is the beamer lying and blocking HDMI CEC in stby? Someone who had similar problems?

Here's my setup: sonos beam via HDMI ARC to samsung UN55JS700DF tv. There is a sonos sub attached to my beam. Input is a roku ultimate via HDMI to my TV. I'm having audio sync issues between the TV and the beam when playing the roku and have gone through every possible scenario to troubleshoot it to no avail. I know there are other threads on this, but none of them seem to address the problem unless I switch the TV to PCM but I didn't pay $1200 to only listen in stereo. Here's what I've done so far all of which haven't worked: - Set roku to PCM, leave TV output to dolby via HDMI - Set roku to dolby digital, leave TV output to dolby via HDMI - Leave roku on auto, leave TV output to dolby via HDMI - Set roku to PCM, leave TV output to dolby via optical - Set roku to dolby digital, leave TV output to dolby via optical - Leave roku on auto, leave TV output to dolby via optical - Bought another roku, plugged directly into TV HDMI ARC then to TV via HDMI - Bought

I bought playbar and 2 play:1 for dolby surround 5.1 experience replacing my old onkyo receiver with 5.1 surround speaker system. I paid close to 1000$ for this system. So far so good and I removed my receiver and old speakers. Yesterday, we rented a bluray disc from redbox and found out that playbar was unable to output any sound. This used to work perfectly with my onkyo receivers. Spent some time changing settings on bluray player and audio settings in the bluray movie options for audio. Then googled it about this issue and found out that Bluray movies outputs DTS sound and playbar doesnt support this. I am very surprised. I was about to order sonos sub but if I cant play any of my existing bluray discs or bluray movies rented from redbox then what is the point of spending 1800$ on a surround system. Is this a short term issue or sonos will never support DTS. I still have few days left to return the system. Any suggestion or help is appreciated. I dont want to change the bitst

With a child's bedroom above my living room (where I have my Playbar) I want to be able to schedule my Playbar to go into night mode at 7pm every evening and allow me to override that through the controller app of my choice on the rare occasions that I do want night mode off in the evening.

Does anyone know if there is any murmurings of a bigger Beam or a upgraded PlayBar? I'm wanting to upgrade in a home theatre, but am willing to wait if there was something in the pipeline. I really want the AirPlay 2 option, so the current Playbar doesn't support it, and the PlayBase does but its too chunky for my liking. Thanks!

Hello I’m looking for a 4K blue ray player that will support 5.1 output. I’ve got a playbar and two play1’s and a sub. I’m using a ps3 at the minute but am looking to upgrade but don’t want to lose the 5.1.

Hello. Here is my set up: 1) Apple TV connected to Sony XBR-65X900F via HDMI - Audio output set to Dolby 5.1 2) Cable box connected to Sony via HDMI. 3) Sonos Beam connected via HDMI/Arc to Sony. Here's the issue: I am getting great audio from Cable box and most things on Apple TV. Netflix outputs 5.1 through Beam (as per "About my Sonos") iTunes movie rentals and certain TV shows output 5.1 and the audio is great. Apps & SOME TV shows purchased on Apple TV do not output any sound to Beam. It's very strange that 95 % of things I watch on the Cable box and Apple TV work and a few don't. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. Robb

Hey guys, first post here and thought I would share a solution I've found to playing Netflix Dolby Digital 5.1 on the beam. I have used an NVIDIA Shield and an old Sony Tv with HDMI ARC (also worked with optical) along with a Beam and 2 Play ones. Apparently it works with Amazon Video and DTS 5.1 audio as well. I have only used it with Netflix so that's the only one I can verify for now. Here's the link to the instructions on how to do this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/orig-development/netflix-amazon-5-1-hdmi-arc-optical-t3894442

All of my Sonos Speakers are cool to the touch except my Sonos Beam. I was repositioning the Beam when I noticed that underneath the beam (mid left side when facing the speaker) was a bit warm. Thought maybe because I had used it recently. I checked later and the next day it still warm. I checked my Play One's and sub and they were all cool. I left the Beam idle for a whole day and it was still warm. That maybe it was Alexa Waiting for a command, Turned off the mic and removed Alexa via the app. Beam still remains warm. Is this normal, is this happening to everyone else? I've had my system for less than 2 weeks and want to make sure all is fine.

I have a good Sonos setup and love it to bits. I rarely have any problems. I love it being connected to my home theatre to really punch out some volume when it's needed. But, I have a friend (who is not very computer literate and has asked me to investigate it further), who has 4 Play 3s and a soundbar. He has set one a Play:3 up next to each of he and his wifes lounge chairs so they can vary the volume separately for each speaker nearest to them. They are very happy with it because they both have hearing problems and this solves that problem. BUT, more and more lately the volume has been fluctuating between loud and soft on both Play:3s and the soundbar. He says he rang Sonos who did an upgrade over the phone, which fixed it for a little while, but now it's back again. They are frustrated almost to the point of throwing them out. I read where one fix is to disbale the hardware controls but that is exactly what they don't want. It's how they change the volume for each speaker. U

I have a home theater setup with a playbar, sub and two Ones are backspeakers. My TV passes through sound signals from the top set box via s/pdif, and it works fine for both 5.1 signals and stereo, but I have one "feature request", I guess. My seating is quite far from the TV and Playbar, and at night I would want to hear the sound from TV-channels that only send stereo in the back speakers (I'm close to them). This way I won't have to turn the volume up so high to hear dialoge. Any way to make this happen, like with the music feature?

Hi All, Was looking forward to buy Sonos AMP. Hence wanted to verify if the HDMI on it supports eARC or just ARC. eARC is important for me since I am planning to connect to TV. eARC as I see provides Lip sync support on HDMI. Thanks, Satish.

Hi! One of the Sonos customer reps recommended I come here to try to troubleshoot a solution for my TV and Sonos Beam situation. My end goal is to have my TV output its Dolby Digital signal to my beam. Here's my setup: TV: LG 60PV450. Here's the manual: https://www.lg.com/us/support-product/lg-60PV450 Sonos Beam connected through the Digital Optical port. I've contacted LG, and they have confirmed that my TV supports Dolby Digital 4-channel, but that the TV software/firmware UI does not have a way to send that signal through the Optical port. And there is no updated firmware for the TV (ARC is not supported for any of the HDMI ports either). So, I know there's no way through my current TV settings to output the DD signal through the Optical cable, but I was wondering if there may be an unconventional way to turn one of my HDMI ports into an ARC port so that the TV's DD signal could be communicated to the Beam. Maybe something like a mini receiver? Or maybe something

Have a Sonos Beam, absolutely love it. When I turn the Volume from TV Speakers to External Speakers on the Samsung TV, every time I use my Logitech remote, a "Not Available" message displays, in the middle of the TV screen. I've followed the instructions to set up my remote to control the Beam volume. I've also followed the instructions here: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/2072?language=en_US and have added the beam to my MyHarmony logitech account. But, it still insists on controlling both the TV and the Beam when the volume button is pushed, which means I've had to resort to keeping the TV speakers on low, which really makes the sound quality of the Beam diminish. I've even tried plugging in headphones in the audio jack, only to realize that it plays through both the audio out jack and the TV. :-/ In the MyHarmony app, there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent it from controlling the TV volume. I've read tons of forums on this and short of unscrewing the back of th

Hello everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. I will be purchasing a Sonos Beam in the near future with plans of building a 5.1 system (though I wish Sonos offered a 7.1). I will be building my system in steps ans wondering after getting the Beam should I go for sorrounds next or for the sub. Eventually I'll have both but in the meantime which would I benefit from more? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have the playbase, 2 Play 5's, and a sub. The action movies are great when the sub kicks in for big explosions etc, but the dialog is so quiet I have to continuously adjust the volume. I see here on the forum that this has been an ongoing issue that Sonos has had for a while. Has anyone figured out how to properly adjust this?

Hello, Is there any benefit at all by adding just a single Sonos one to my beam? Eventually I want to complete the surround sound feel but have the option to get a sonos one now from a family member. I have a smaller living room. Thank you,

Hi, Playbar hardwired to network, optical in from TV, wireless for sub and 2 x Play:One. For a few months now the TV remote has taken 3-5 seconds for a volume adjustment to register via the Playbar - including the LED acknowledgment of the IR signal. I need to hold the volume button down on the remote for that long to action an adjustment. All other TV remote functions are processed immediately, so it doesn’t appear to be a problem with the remote itself (I’ve already tried new batteries etc). This wasn’t an issue for the first few years of ownership (TV hasn’t changed), so on the face of it seems to be a software update issue within Sonos? I’ve tried a full factory reset of all components and setup the remote again, but no difference. Diagnostics uploaded - 529557269. Cheers

I’m looking to upgrade my outdoor audio and hope to integrate it to my outdoor theater setup. My goal is to use the new AMP to power my new outdoor speakers but I would also like to use this new speaker setup as the audio for my projector. The problem I see is getting the video to the projector and audio to the AMP with a new AppleTV being the source. My Epson EX9200 projector unfortunately does not have any outputs and only inputs and the new AppleTVs don’t have the optical out like they used to so what would be the best way to get this all working? TIA, Daniel

I don't have a decent space for a playbar and beam and wanted to know if I can make the following set up work for surround sound with my TV? 2 Sonos Play 1 front left and front right (head level on stands) 2 Sonos Play 2 rear left and right (high on the wall) Sub I do also have a Sonos Amp (the new one) which drives my outdoor speakers. In an ideal world I would make the above work. Thanks for any input
