Home theater

I have just bought a new tv. It has no analogue out sockets (it has a digital optical out and hdmi2) and the Connect only seems to have Analogue in sockets (because the digital optical also says it’s out). Does anyone know what sort of cable I should get as I’m desperate to get my Play1 speakers to work with new TV. Thank you

How can i use bluetooth headphones with a Playbar so, while watching TV, the audio goes only to the headphones and does not play through the Playbar?

Hallo, I purchased the new Sonos Beam today. My TV is a OLED LG65C7V. I have used the included HDMI from Sonos to connect my Beam to the HDMI2 (ARC)-port on the TV. To watch TV (regular broadcasting channels) I use a digital box from my broadcaster GET (Norway). This is connected to the HDMI1 on my TV. When I'm watching TV with my Beam, there is a lip sync fail. I had no issue with this before the Beam. However, when I now watch Netflix (with the integrated smart-OS on the TV), there is less or non problem with lip sync. Anyone have a solution for how I can fix the lip sync when watching regular broadcasting TV? Please let me know if you need more information about my setup (not an expert in this). Regards, Magnus

Hi, Just a heads up, I have discovered that Netflix on Sky Q does not output Dolby 5.1, only Stereo, via optical. I have a room with a Playbar with surrounds set up directly to a Sky Q Mini and noticed I was not getting 5.1 when viewing Netflix, but native Sky Programs were fine. On my Beam, connected to the Main Sky box via TV and HDMI ARC both native sky and Netflix are in 5.1 So I moved the beam to a different Mini box and it works via Arc... changed it to optical direct and no 5.1 on Netflix only native sky programs. Back to the main TV and connected it via optical and same results no 5.1 for Netflix. I have reported it to Sky, so hopefully they will fix it. I thought I should post here in case anyone is wondering what is going on.

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a Philips 55POS9002, but want to be sure it works with my playbar and 5.1 setup. Has anyone here had any experience with this particular TV? Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't seem to find anything via search or in the megathread.

Beam is breaking up / is crunchy / there is static nois

Is there a configuration of Sonos Products that would produce a Dolby Atmos sound ?

Was very frustrated with this for a long time as well but finally figured it out through trial and error. The challenge is in the Audio output format. Not all programs recognize auto so if you change it Dolby Digital 5.1 instead of Auto Select audio, the dialogue will come through. Although it is not as good and there is a slight lag... at least there is sound. For example on apply TV. Go to Settings Audio Output. and Select Dolby Digital 5.1.

want to controll the speakers individually for sound in the room. the beam itself is loud and great sound the small speakers in the back of the room for sound need to be turned up without turning up the beam cant figure it out.

Why can't I switch between using bluetooth headphones and sonos beam without beam switching back on?

My playbar is working with the TV but not showing up on my app....my surround sound speakers (2 Play 1's) not working or showing up on app but have a white light and keeps saying speakers have already been set up. Just want it to work!

I have the 5.1 Playbar, sub, 2 play ones in my living room/theater. I want a sub and a play 5 in another area to stand alone or play simultaneously for music, is that possible?

I see that when I turn my tv to the HDMI input that my beam is connected to, it cycles through a screen saver with a handful of black and white images. Is there any way to get a visualizer on screen to sync with my music?

My TV only has a digital audio output - if I use a converter to connect my TV to the Playbar, will there be any negative impact on what I get out of the Playbar? My TV Is a Mitsubishi DLP Model WD 65638.

If you use the optical adapter, is it still possible to get 5.1 sound? The product page says PCM stereo and Dolby Digital...but not Dolby Digital 5.1. Thx!

Please somebody help me! I have my beam connected to my Panasonic TX-L50b6b with sky Q. I get sound when sky q audio is set to normal but when I select DD I get no sound at all? It is really frustrating as I’m not sure what else to do???? Thanks

I’m so disappointed, I just bought the beam today and have had major issues getting the audio to link up to the pictures ie. lip syncing issues. I bought this to have Dolby Digital and better emery’s I’ve sound and yet the only way I can get them to sync is to change the signal on Sky Q to normal loosing then DD. I have a Panasonic DX900 series so new tv. What’s the solution or do I need to return it as it’s not going to be fixed?

I just purchased an LG OLED B8 (OLED55B8PUA) and a Sonos Playbar. I’ve had a Sonos Play:1 for over a year and was excited to add an additional Sonos item. I’d done extensive research about TV and Soundbar selection and went with the Playbar over the beam because of the superior audio quality in a large room. After installing everything - including mounting the Playbar to a brick wall - I discover during setup that I won’t be able to use my LG remote to control the volume... that every volume adjustment will have to be made through the Sonos app. Annoying. Even more annoying to dig through support articles and discover that I could use my LG remote with the Beam. Suggestion - update the comparison matrix to indicate what specific TVs are compatible. If a product isn’t keeping up with the newest TVs - please note that a different product may be more suitable. I could probably have gotten over this if there was any volume to control. All connections are properly connected

Hi. I have Beam, Sub and 2 Ones as surrounds. Connected via HDMI to my Sony 4k TV is a Sony BDP S1200 blu ray. I've changed the Blu Ray settings to convert "DTS Audio to Dolby Digital audio for output" and set "Digital Audio Output" to "Auto", not PCM. According to the Sonos phone App, the sound I'm getting when the movie chapters are displayed is in Dolby 5.1. Certainly sounds like it. However, as soon as the movie starts playing, there's no sound at all. Change the settings to "convert "DTS Audio to Dolby Digital audio for output" and set "Digital Audio Output" to "PCM", and the intro still plays in Dolby 5.1.....But the movie plays in Stereo. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I recently purchased both the Sonos Beam and Sub after a lightning strike bricked my old sound system. My TV is an LG OLED55B7A. I have a Roku Premiere+, Nintendo Switch and a PS4 connected. Everything sounded incredible and having Alexa turn my TV off is the greatest thing ever. However, when I replaced my PS4 with a PS4 Pro, I lose sound to everything and the Sonos app is saying Simplink is not detected. This only occurs when the Pro is conntected, even if it's powered off. I haven't adjusted any settings from when it "worked" and have even tried factory rebooting the Beam and Sub.

Hello, I have a playbar, sub and two play 1 As rear surround. The play 1’s work when the TV is on however they are not working when playing music through the playbar from the app. On the older version of the app there was a setting under room settings to have the surrounds on when playing music from the app. This appears to have disappeared... any ideas?

This is hard to explain, but I will try. I have searched to the end of the internet and have not found anyone with our same issues. ;-/ We just purchased the Sonos playbar, two play1's (for rear channels) and the Sonos sub. Configuration: Pioneer Elite VSX-45 (currently set to HDMI Pass-through to TV - does not have an optical out) Pioneer Elite TV 60 inch (only passes DD5.1 through its optical out if using an internal app...everything else goes to stereo, so I need to be able to get the audio to the Playbar a different way) Comcast cable box (optical out direct to Playbar seems to work) LG Blu-Ray player (optical out direct to Playbar works when selecting Dolby Digital DVD track) Roku Premiere+ (no optical output, this has the option to select Dolby Digital as the output, however, no settings have an effect...) I purchased an audio extractor (J-Tech Digital 4K 60HZ HDMI Audio Extractor) to split the audio off of the HDMI and send it to the playbar First...it does n

I have a Roku Streaming Stick+ and I am not seeing it output Dolby Digital to my Sonos Playbar. My setup is as follows: - Panasonic Plasma 50" HDTV (not used for audio, video only) - Panasonic Blueray Player that has built in streaming capabilities, model DMP-BDT220 - Cable box = Google Fiber Set Top Box (STB) with HDMI out - Roku Streaming Stick+ - Sonos Playbar w/ 2 Play:1 and a Sub that gives me the ability to listen to 5.1 surround sound. - Monoprice or KanexPro HDMI Switchers (Monoprice MD-415ARC or KanexPro SW-HD4X1AUD4K) In order to get the 3 different HDMI devices to connect to the TV and surround system, I am using a 4 port HDMI switcher with a Toslink output. The STB, Blueray player and Roku SS+ are all connected to the switcher inputs via HDMI, the TV is connected to the HDMI output and the Toslink interface on the switcher is connected to the Sonos Playbar. The reason I listed 2 switchers is because I was trying to see if the switcher was the issue and it wasn't.

TV: Samsung UN55D7000 (2011 model year) Sonos: Playbar Streaming Stick: Apple TV 4k Hi all - hoping someone can help me with my current situation. We recently cut cable and picked up Apple TV 4k to watch Youtube TV, along with Netflix, and on occasion Amazon Prime. My goal here is to accomplish the best possible sound for my current setup - and assume that's DD 5.1? When we watch Netflix, we can get DD 5.1. However when we stream YouTube TV and Amazon Prime, I only see "Stereo" on the Playbar. Is there a way to get DD 5.1 on these as well? What I've done - in the Samsung TV Audio Settings>SPDIF Ouput>I can only select PCM and Dolby Digital is grayed out. - in the Apple TV settings, I changed the audio setting from Auto to Dolby Digital - Purchased a Monoprice HDX-401TA but had no luck. - currently I have the Samsung TV connected to the Apple TV from the HDMI DVI port. - Sonos Playbar is connected to Samsung TV's optical port. In closing, is there is a spec
