Home theater

Hi all, I've recently finished having my home refurbished and now time has turned to updating the sound... Each bathroom and hall way i've wall level cables ready for sonos ONE's. Additionally I'll add a Sonos ONE to my bedroom. So thats four Sonos ONE's required. Next though and the biggest dilemma I have is in the open plan living room. The room is 9.4m x 7m so its a pretty big space. Its also a minimalist space and I'd like as far as possible to keep it this way. I have a record player on a unit under the TV and this needs to be connected to the new Sonos system. I read the best way is to use a PLAY:5 as this will allow me to use headphones? The headphones need to be able to run wireless, so potentially I'm wrong and a connect or connect:amp would be best for this? Now i don't mind dropping the money on a PLAY:5 and adding 2 more PLAY ONES for rear surround whilst watching movies but does this work or is it only the PLA

I would like to set up the Playbar but take advantage of older KEF subwoofer and bookshelves I have to have a complete 5.1 system. So I have been thinking of getting a Connect:AMP and connect to it the subwoofer and the 2 bookshelves. Would this Connect:AMP system work in sync and in low latency with the Playbar to complete a 5.1 experience?

Would be interested in SONOS developing a new product for wirelessly connecting TVs via the TV optical output. The device would be simplified version of the connect product that is powered by the TVs USB ports. This would allow all SONOS products to be used as output devices for the new generation smart TVs. This would be a full 5Ghz connections and not Bluetooth. I would expect that would be great consumer interest for current SONOS product owners.

Hi, I have a question regarding the coming new AMP. I´d like to make a surround system with the new AMP as left/right and digital connected SUB and, here is the question, a Sonos:AMP as supporting cable installed rear speakers. This is possible with Playbar/playBase/Beam, but with the new AMP?. Secondly, would it be even greater to use a Beam as center, cabled left/right/Sub by AMP and Sonos:AMP cabled rear?

Hi, can you tell me if my LG TV Model # 50-LB5900-UV is compatible with the Sonos Beam? I've been working on it for hours and the only thing it plays is the music from my phone but doesn't connect to my TV. Please let me know.

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. Al

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.
