Home theater

Hello Ihave a Sonos beam among other products. I just purchased a Samsung UE32M5520 TV from John Lewis. I have the Beam connected to the TV using the ARC port. My problem is this. When i put the TV into standby mode he Red LED on the TV should remain solid RED. However with the Sonos Beam connected. The Red LED flashes on the TV flashes on and off constantly. If i remove the HDMI cable form the Sonos Beam to the TV , the power LED on the TV remains Red. Which is what should happen. I can disable the Anynet setting in the TV settings but then this stops Sonos working all together,. I have Sky Q attached via HDMI 2 port.

Video on Amazon Prime via Apple TV keeps freezing when I use Sonos Beam. While the video freezes, the audio continues to play (using an optical audio cable). If I unhook Sonos and play through speakers, no freezing. I have updated Apple TV, router and made sure signal strength is good (router very close to Beam). Any suggestions other than ethernet cable? Would like to use the wireless feature the Beam if at all possible.

Is SONOS working with DOLBY to encode and reproduce content with ATMOS for home theater surround sound with either the 7.2.4 speaker arrangement or sound bar simulation?

Hi i bough a Play 1 and Beam, and i install it and it works perfectly on my Samsung Tv, but when i turn on my Ps4, the sound is working fine for a moment, but sundenly is disconnect and the sound only come out from television when i play on my playstation.. and i ave 4 Hdmi port..

I've got two separate rooms both with Playbase units connected to the TV's. Both have matching Play1's added as surrounds, and the main lounge also has the Sub added too. I have a spare Play 5 that sits in the lounge and was wondering whether I can make use of this in the lounge home theatre set-up to add even more oomph to the room? Also, is there a way of sharing the Sub on both home theatre rooms at all? I could locate the Sub in the central hallway to be equidistant to the two Playbases if that is an option. Obviously, the Sub would only be being used by one room at any one time. Any thoughts please?

I have a Beam that i've recently purchased. I'm using the HDMI-Optical option to connect to my TV. The volume buttons on the remote for the Apple TV 4K has worked perfectly before the i purchased the Beam. When installing the Beam, the app says the installation was successful and the remote was paired. The issue comes when I sit on the couch i have to raise my hand high in order to rise/lower the volume. My wife is starting to be annoyed and planning on returning it. The beam sits on an 8 inch mantel. I believe the iR to the beam is not strong enough to connect when i sit on the couch. Has anyone else had this issue? How have you solved it? Is there an after market iR extender that works?

Hi, I want to add a sound bar to my TV and as I have 2 Play 1s in the room already, I'm thinking of choosing the Beam. I see that the information on the Sonos site says it's suitable for small to medium size rooms but it says that on the US and UK site, and also on the Spanish site (I live Spain), which seems odd to me, as most Americans I know think that what I regard as big, e.g. houses, cars, etc. are in fact quite small. Hence my question. My room is 6 meters by 4 and I sit around 5 meters from the TV. I would have the bar under the TV (obvs) and a Play 1 in the corners behind me. Surely that's enough power to give me a good sound? It's an apartment and I respect the neighbours so my Play 1s when dealing with music and radio rarely go above 25% on the volume scale. I really need the soundbar just to aim the sound in my direction (instead of the wall behind the TV) and add some clarity, and hopefully to eliminate the ups and downs between dialog and action that has me r

Hi, I have connected sonos and it works from the app for music easily, I have tried setting the magic remote but it won’t see the signal from the controller. I’ve changed the Simplink to off, set audio out Opitcal lead and stil remote won’t sync with sonos. I do get sound from the tv through my Playbar but still can use remote to turn volume up or down. I understand sonos looks for an infra red signal but the magic controller isn’t infra-red, old magic controllers appear to be able to set up for sonos, how do you do the same for the latest magic?

Ok so this seems to be a confusing question for me to find an answer for Basically i am getting the Epson EH-TW650 projector (im 99% sure doesnt have arc) My question is can i simply buy an Apple Tv 4th gen, plug it into my projector and use AirPlay to stream my audio to the sonos beam Hoping this is simple fix will be ok?

Is Sonos looking at Supporting Dolby Atmos in the future?

I am looking at buying an Optima UHD 60 4k and own a Playbar. What do I need to do/buy to connect the Optima projector with the Playbar to have synchronous sound?

When my wife and I are watching TV, we are noticing that we are having some difficulty fully understanding what the people in the show are saying. It's as if it's not fully clear or as my wife would describe it, it's a volume issue where the dialogue is being overwhelmed by other sounds perhaps. It's gotten to the point that we need to turn on sub-titles at times. We don't notice this issue with other TV's/watching TV on a computer, so I think this is isolated to the Sonos playbar. Also, I've noticed when watching movies that the sound fluctuates a lot, in which in an entire movie I have to hold the remote to adjust the sound up and down. It's like the explosion scenes are way too loud but the speaking scenes are not loud enough so we turn it up to try to hear what they are saying and then something loud happens and it's somewhat jarring to us when we are watching the show. Is this an acoustics issue? Calibration issue? We have 1 Playbar, 2 Play 1's as surrounds, the Pl

Tried all options but it doesn't work. Suggestions given on this thread are not applicable as those options don't show up on my TV: http://forums.sonos.com/showthread.php?t=37555.. Very frustrating 😞

I have a sound problem with my Playbar, apparently only with TV and not when I'm listen to music. There is a choppy sound, also in my two Sonos:1 (surround) and I have to unplug the Playbar and reconnect it to stop this problem. This happens about every two to three days. This is really annoying...

I have Beam and 2 x Sono Ones connected to my TV. However my wife often does not want to hear what's on the TV, so I use bluetooth headphones. In my Samsung TV speaker settings you can choose 'Receiver' ie Sonos or Bluetooth. When I choose Bluetooth the sound comes to the headset for about 3 seconds - the Sonos sound goes off, then the headset is cut out and sound reverts to Sonos. Why? My previous sound bar (a Bose) didn't do this. Currently I have to disconnect the HDMI (ARC) from the TV to allow the bluetooth to work uninterrupted. Any ideas how to solve this problem please?

I have a new Vizio TV P-Series 55" Class 4K HDR Smart TV (2018) - and just got a Sonos Beam as a gift. I was so excited cuz I've never had a TV this big or a soundbar before - so I was feeling super fancy - until the daily struggle ensued of the TV remote only sometimes working with the soundbar. If the remote DOES work - it's always lagging, or skipping. I will push the up volume and it will have a delay of a couple seconds before the volume actually goes up on the TV. Or sometimes for no reason it will suddenly drop down to 20 if it had been at around 40, with no one touching the remote, and vice versa. But the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE lately - and this is happening on a daily basis - is the remote will just not budge the volume at all, nor will manually pushing the volume buttons on the TV. It will only budge when I touch the volume buttons on the Sonos Beam manually. When I push the volume or mute buttons on the remote the volume dialogue will come up on the TV, just like it alwa

The speaker works fine and then cuts out now and then. Not sure why?

I have just purchased a Sonos Beam and have it connected to my Samsung TV via an Optical Cable using the Optical to HDMI adapter (because my ARC port is in use by a device, only have three HDMI on TV and they are all in use). The beam is in the same room as my router and Sonos Bridge (4-5mtrs away). I also have two Play 1's paired to the Beam for surround sound (they are a couple of years old). The issue I am having is that every 2-3 days the Beam appears to lose connection to the network. It plays audio from the TV but we cannot change the volume with the TV remote and when we go in to the Sonos app, the room is missing. We restart the Beam and everything works again. When we restart the Beam it also turns the TV off (remember connected by Optical no ARC). I'm not sure where to start with troubleshooting, everything is up-to-date, WiFi signal is great and we have a good internet connection. Never had any issues with Sonos in other rooms disconnecting and needing to be reboot

Hello, I actually own a BenQ W1090 with a BenQ WDP02 (Wireless Video) and I plan to buy a Sonos Beam. Will I be able to connect it to the HDMI output of the WDP02 and have the sound from the video projector in my Sonos Beam ?

Good morning everyone, I'm buying an apartment with my girlfriend and we'll move in in next months. As with big living rooms (not so big) come great responsibilities i'm starting to look around how to disposive my media setup. FYI I currently have a playbar (love it) + a sub (love it even more) and i'm consireding expanding with a pair of sonos one (can't wait). I'm also willing to upgrade my tv and purchase a new 55' of some kind (potentially an LG). As i'm watching for a new TV, I happened to came across the samsung studio stand (for those who don't know it here's a picture)...and I don't know why but i really really liked it. The one drawback is that you have to use a samsung TV (and just some specific models to use it). So I started looking for alternatives, that could maybe fit my playbar as well. And I found this one: SO...this could be it. But I still need to find a way to fit my playbar. Thus I came across two wall mounts stands that could be com

I (after allowing a couple months pass by) reconnected my 2018 65in LG straight to Playbar...lipsync issues gone...there was a software update over this time from LG. Setup: optical to tv...Xfinity box to TV HDMI non ARC...Xbox One to TV ARC.

I'm about to order a sonos beam, and two Sonos Ones to use as rears. I was also going to get a sonos connect so i could run my record player via my receiver into the connect. But I've just read the Sonos Beam has an optical input. Could this be used instead if my record player had optical out? I suspect not but does anyone know for sure? Would be amazing if it could!

Has anyone had any luck with a record player and Sonos Beam via optical? I have recently purchased a Project Essential 2 Digital and I am struggling to get the audio to play successfully on my Beam. I have connected the HDMI to optical lead that came with the Beam into the record player's optical out. The sound comes through, however it comes through intermittently. It will play for a second then cut out for a second and so forth. If possible I would like to avoid purchasing a Connect and spend the money on some Play 1s instead. Sorry if I am spamming anyone, I have posted this another person’s question. Any info appreciated. Tommy

I am buying a new TV and want to add a Sonos sound bar to it. But I also want to integrate my existing wired two speakers and sub-woofer. Is this doable?
